ER30/ER48 Companion Oven Notes

The ER48 includes a companion oven- which is a fully featured, self- cleaning oven. Following are a notes about cooking with these ovens:

•Since the oven’s capacity is much smaller, you may find that cook times are much lower. Items cook faster in this oven as far as roasting and baking.

•Follow the same guidelines as the large oven on selecting baking modes for best results.

•The broiler pan sent with the oven will fit with the shortest end front to back. To center it correctly, push it all the way to the back.

•Position the broiler pan 4-6 inches from the surface of the food to the surface of the broiler.

•Broil times will increase slightly in the smaller oven. It is also best to preheat the broiler for about 5 minutes for best results.

•Thicker cuts of steak or poultry should be cooked on Standard Broil. This will prevent the food from searing rare.

•A commercial half sheet pan, measuring 9 x 12” will fit in the ER48 companion oven.

•A commercial sized sheet pan, measuring 18 x 25” will fit in the large cell of an ER36 & ER48. This type of pan will not fit in an ER30. Dacor’s ACS30-30” cookie sheets should be used.

Range Cooking specifications

Dacor, a renowned name in luxury kitchen appliances, has redefined the art of cooking with its innovative range of cooking products. 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.

One of the standout features of Dacor ranges is their precision cooking capabilities. Many models are equipped with Dual-Stacked Burners, which allow for precise heat control from a gentle simmer to a high sear. 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. Coupled with elegant design and safety features, Dacor continues to elevate the culinary experience, making each meal an opportunity for creativity and enjoyment.
