The principle of Cook & Hold
This example shows Cook & Hold used with the Core Temperature Sensor.
NEVER Add cold food to the MINI for rethermalization while
hot food is being held!
H. LT Cooking: Cooking at Low Temperatures
NOTES:
• Use oven temperatures from 86°F to 212°F
• LT Cooking requires use of the Core Temperature Sensor
• Dark types of meat are particularly suited to low-temperature cooking.
Some of the benefits of Low Temperature cooking:
• Meat retains almost all its raw weight, and becomes very tender and juicy.
• To prevent the surface of foods from drying out, the fan runs for 2 seconds every minute when
below 212°F.
• This method of cooking prevents crustiness.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
• SET the oven temperature only a few degrees higher than the final core temperature.
• The higher the oven temperature, the greater the meat shrinkage.
