Your times and temperatures will vary with the different products you prepare. Refer to this Cadco Cooking Guide for direction or contact the Cadco Certified Executive Chef (877.603.7393) or the Cadco, Ltd. website (for specific answers to your cooking needs. We look forward to hearing from you, Loren Lippitt C.E.C. Cadco, Ltd. Certified Executive Chef • Cookies Baking Temperature One of the most common items baked in your Cadco Convection Oven will be cookies. There are dozens of cookie manufacturers, and their products all have different baking characteristics. Most of the cookie recipes suggest a baking temperature of 325. - 350.F. I have found that “lower is better”. Over the years we have found that cookies bake best in a preheated oven at about 285. - 300.F, assuming a 1.5 ounce cookie from refrigerated/frozen dough. By baking at a lower temperature, they tend to remain higher after cooling and produce a more eye appealing finished product. Bake for about 12-18 minutes, depending on what you think is the perfect cookie. Variables ¦ Lower the temperature for larger cookies. ¦ Cookies bake from the outside in...so to make picture perfect cookies we have to consider two variables before we begin baking, in any oven, or we may not be happy with our results. These two factors come into play mostly when we make cookies from "scratch", (but they apply to all cookies): 1. The temperature of the dough • Room temperature dough will spread out more than frozen or refrigerated dough. • The colder the dough, the less the cookie will spread / flatten out during baking. • Dough baked from frozen produces a thicker, better-looking cookie than ones that are baked from refrigerated, or room temperature, which will spread out and therefore, have less height. 2. The fat content of the dough. • A higher ratio of fat to flour will make the cookie spread out more during baking. • Cheesecake People generally love cheesecake and it’s not hard to make. Let’s start with a basic cheesecake batter: ¦ #3 cream cheese ¦ 1 . cups sugar ¦ 5 eggs ¦ lemon to taste ¦ 2 cups Half and Half (approx.) This will make enough batter for a 10” springform pan. There are so many fun options for making cheesecake, such as: ¦ Substitute chocolate milk for Half and Half in a triple chocolate cheesecake. ¦ Orange juice for an orange cheesecake. ¦ Baileys Irish Cream. ¦ Cookie dough. ¦ Turtle cheesecake. ¦ Lemon poppy seed. ¦ Pumpkin…peanut butter…pistachio…what else? For my crust, I usually spray the inside of the springform pan with vegetable oil and dust it with graham cracker crumbs. There are endless options for crusts such as shortbread, brownie, or Ladyfingers, or my simple dusting of graham crumbs. It’s your choice. Bake in a 200.F oven for 4 hours, then cool, cut and serve. Have fun with some imaginative sauces also: ¦ Walnut, caramel and chocolate chip sauce. ¦ Lemon sauce. ¦ Pear sauce ¦ Pistachio sauce. ¦ Cinnamon Squared. Sauce (cinnamon stick and candies). • Muffins ¦ 15 minutes at 325.F works well for most standard size muffins. ¦ For jumbo muffins, set the oven temperature at 300.F and bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. ¦ The more dense your batter is, the longer your muffins will take to bake. • Biscuits For the test we used a basic baking powder biscuit about 3” in diameter. Bake at 350.F for 10-12 minutes. Some suggestions: ¦ A simple glaze can be made of powdered sugar and water. ¦ Glaze while your biscuits are still hot. ¦ Try peanut butter, lemon poppy seed, cinnamon raisin, cheese and bacon, sour dough, and of course, good old buttermilk biscuits. ¦ Drop biscuits take about the same amount of time to bake and they are wonderful. • Bread ¦ Large loaves (1 lb -1 . lb) baked in 30 - 40 minutes at 325.F. ¦ We found that you can bake dinner rolls using the same method as you do for biscuits. • Pies The variables for bakery products are endless, and pies are no exception. These are some of the things which will affect your cooking time: ¦ Amount of sugar in the crust. ¦ Size of your pie tin and the amount of filling used. ¦ Butter or oil in the crust. ¦ Amount of shortening to flour. ¦ Your choice of canned or fresh filling. For test pies we used 9” pie tins with homemade apple filling. Our crust was made using a basic 3-2-1 recipe: ¦ 3 parts flour ¦ 2 parts shortening ¦ (approx.)1 part water ¦ Add a little salt and a four finger pinch of sugar The Cadco Convection Oven was preheated to 325.F and the pies were baked for 45 minutes to an hour depending on the filling. The aroma coming out of the Cadco Training Center was fantastic! • Pizza There are so many pizzas it’s hard to know where to start. The pizza we used for our tests were the 11”, frozen, self rising type. They were all baked at 350.F for 8 - 20 minutes on FAKIROTM Heat Plates (see page 7), and our results were great on all of them. (The pizza manufacturers suggested a temperature of 400.F for 20-30 minutes). • “Oven Fr...
