Your benefits
■
During the Cook phase, the meat is cooked very
gently with ‘Convection
’
or ‘Superheated steam’.
■ In the Hold phase, the product is finished extre-
mely gently.
Points to note
■ In the Cook phase, a temperature range of
120°C to 150°C is expedient in the cooking
programme ‘Convection’ or ‘Superheated
steam’.
■ The switching over point into the Hold phase
depends on the charge size, the type of meat
and the size of the piece of meat.
■ Select the desired final core temperature as
Hold temperature so that no overcooking is
possible.
Mr.C recommends:
You can prepare food during off-peak periods as
normal, load the CONVOTHERM and start the
Cook & Hold programme long before you need the
finished meals.
During Cook & Hold, a Cook phase is followed by a Hold phase.
The steamer switches automatically from the Cook phase to the Hold phase
when the set core temperature is reached (see diagram below).
