How Cook and Hold Works
With the optional COOK & HOLD feature, meat is
roasted at lower temperatures for longer periods
of time. This preserves flavor and t enderness and
prevents over drying. There are three phases in
cook and hold roasting.
D Primary Cooking --- controlled by the COOK &
HOLD TIMER. The meat is cooked at a low tem-
perature until approximately 2/3 done.
D Cooking from Stored Heat --- w h e n t h e p r i m a -
ry cook time expires, the oven automatically
switches to HOLD. The product continues to
cook from the heat stored in the oven. Meat
must remain in t h e hold cycle for a minimum of
1-1/2 to 2 hours before being served.
D Hold --- holds the product for several hours be-
fore serving without loss of moisture or tender-
ness.
All meat should be completely thawed by refriger -
ation. Using frozen meat increases the cook time
causing shrinkage.
