Other helpful Roasting Tips

1.Spray roasting rack and roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray. This will make cleaning up easier.

2.Rinse the turkey with cold water and then pat dry with paper towels.

3.An olive oil rub helps seal in the juices and aids in browning the turkey.

3.It is best to use fresh herbs in the olive oil rub, since dried herbs may brown too quickly.

4.For added flavor, slit the skin at the bottom of the breast to create a “pocket” between the skin and the breast. Insert the olive oil rub underneath the skin.

5.Chopped onions, carrots, celery, and whole herbs may be inserted into the cavity of the bird. This helps retain moisture while adding flavor to the turkey. These vegetables can be used to flavor homemade gravy after the turkey has reached its safe internal temperature.

6.Never discard turkey drippings. It adds flavor to stuffing, makes a great stock for soups and stews, and makes the best gravies and sauces to serve along with your turkey. If you must discard it, let it cool and scrape into the trash. Do not throw it down the sink, as it may clog drains.

7.If there are not enough drippings in the bottom of the pan to make your favorite gravy, keep in mind that they are still inside the turkey. You may need to compensate with additional stock or broth.

8.No basting is necessary when using the Pure Convection™ mode. If you are using a special sauce or marinade, however, you may want to baste it a couple of times during the cooking process. Do this during the last hour of cooking.

9.It is better to prepare stuffing on the side, instead of stuffing the turkey. Stuffing adds insulation, making it harder for the stuffing to reach a safe internal temperature of 165°, while the turkey may register a much higher temperature, therefore producing a drier product. It also lengthens the cooking process. Since minimum internal temperatures cannot always be reached, we recommend cooking a separate casserole dish of stuffing.

10.It is acceptable to cover wings and legs that seem to be browning too quickly with foil. Keep in mind that Convection will brown a turkey quickly, which will help it to remain moist.

11.If you are completely covering a turkey in a roasting pan or using an oven roasting bag, convection is not necessary. Use Convection Roast mode.

12.Instead of doing one really large bird, try 2 medium-sized birds in one oven cell! In Dacor’s oven, you can place two 15 pound turkeys side-by-side on roasting racks. Think of it: four breasts, four legs- it’s enough for 30 people! Another reason to try this is because the smaller the bird, the more tender it will be. And the time will remain the same for one bird- 8-11 minutes per pound! Your two birds at 15 pounds each will cook in about 2 hours!

13.Delay Timed Cooking- We do not recommend using the time delay function on your range to cook your turkey. It is hard to keep protein foods out of the Temperature Danger Zone- from 40° – 140°. In using time delay, you are allowing a raw turkey to sit in the oven for an extended period of time, which allows bacteria to grow and a prospective foodborne illness to occur.

14.Most Important Tip of All: Be sure to clean and sanitize every utensil used in preparation of the turkey. This includes cutting boards, knives, kitchen sinks, and, most importantly, your hands. Hot water and a bleach-based cleanser should be used on utensils, and warm water and antibacterial soap should be used on your hands.

Designed for both culinary enthusiasts and professional chefs, Dacor ranges blend advanced technology with elegant aesthetics, offering a cooking experience that is both versatile and enjoyable.

This versatility helps home chefs create a wide range of dishes with ease. The burners are designed to deliver uniform heat distribution, ensuring that every meal is cooked to perfection.

Dacor’s commitment to innovation is evident in its use of the latest cooking technologies. For instance, the addition of the Dacor’s exclusive "True European Convection" feature in its ovens guarantees even baking results. This technology utilizes a fan in conjunction with the heating elements to circulate hot air, reducing cooking times and enhancing flavor development. This is particularly beneficial for baking, where even heat is crucial.

Another notable feature is Dacor’s sophisticated built-in Sous Vide function, allowing cooks to prepare foods at precisely controlled temperatures for hours. This method locks in flavors, nutrients, and offers an incredible level of tenderness, making it a favorite among gourmet home cooks.

The design of Dacor ranges is equally impressive. Crafted with high-quality materials, the appliances boast a sleek, modern look that integrates seamlessly with upscale kitchen designs. The intuitive controls, often equipped with touch-screen technology, provide a user-friendly experience. Whether one is a novice or an expert in the kitchen, operating a Dacor range feels natural and straightforward.

Additionally, many Dacor ranges come equipped with smart technology, allowing users to monitor and control their cooking through a smartphone app. This feature enables cooks to start preheating their ovens remotely or receive alerts when their dish is ready, adding an element of convenience to meal preparation.

Safety is also a key priority in Dacor designs. Features such as automatic shut-off, cool-to-touch surfaces, and child locks ensure that cooking becomes not only a delightful experience but a safe one too.

In sum, Dacor ranges blend luxury with functionality. Their innovative technologies, such as Dual-Stacked Burners, True European Convection, Sous Vide cooking, and smart capabilities make them a standout choice for anyone serious about cooking.
