Cooking Guides
The following section offers basic guidelines for preparing a wide variety
of popular menu items in the Henny Penny ClimaPlus Combi.
Menu items are charted in a format that covers quantities, proper containers, times,
temperatures, ClimaPlus Control settings, and whether probe cooking or and/or
additional items should be employed. As you gain experience with this equipment,
you may wish to adjust these parameters or to add items that better suit the needs
of your foodservice operation and the preferences of your customers. For your
convenience, a blank chart has been included at the end of the section to assist you
in recording data for your individual recipes.
Key to terms and abbreviations
Units of measure–temperature
Temperatures in the charts appear as number values without degree marks or
F/C. Unless other wise indicated, temperatures measured in degrees Fahrenheit
appear first; the Celsius equivalent follows immediately enclosed by parentheses.
212 (100) = 212°F (100°C)
Units of measure-weight
Weights for quantities of food in the charts often appear as number values
without unit measure abbreviations. Unless otherwise indicated, weight values
are always represented in pounds and kilograms. The value representing weight
or range of weight measured in pounds appears first; the metric equivalent in
kilograms follows immediately enclosed by parentheses.
5-7 (2.3-3.2) = 5-7 lbs. (2.3-3.2 kg)
Total Time
As a convenience, cooking times for items with multiple time-cook only steps
have been totaled and appear as Total Time. This cannot be done when any step
includes probe cooking, preheating or an IQT program.
ALT = Designates an alternate method that can be used in
place of the steps listed.
Ctrl = ClimaPlus is controlled by the IQT program and cannot
be adjusted by the operator.
