F. Delta-T Cooking Delta – T cooking requires use of the Core Temperature Sensor • The higher the Delta-T temperature, the greater the loss in weight and the darker the browning. • When using Delta-T cooking: use of the Core Temperature Sensor is required, because the oven temperature increases with the core temperature. • The oven temperature is the Delta-T temperature PLUS the Core Temperature. See illustration. To use Delta-T Cooking: 1. Turn the Combi ON with the ON/OFF key. 2.
G. Cook & Hold NEVER Add cold food to the MINI for rethermalization while hot food is being held! IMPORTANT: • Cook and hold requires use of the Core Temperature Sensor • For more information on the Cook Phase and entering recipe names See Chapter 7 “Using Multi-Step Recipes.” • The Cook & Hold function includes a “cook” phase and a “hold” phase. • The Hold phase is the LAST step in a recipe AFTER the food is cooked. • The Hold phase is the second step if only one cooking step is required.
The principle of Cook & Hold This example shows Cook & Hold used with the Core Temperature Sensor. Cook phase Hold phase Holding Required final core temperature = Holding temperature Start Ready to serve Oven chamber Preheated Switchover from Max.
