Dacor Range Cooking ER30/ER48 Companion Oven Notes, Proper Settings For Various Foods On Cooktops

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.
