GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
This manual is provided to assist persons responsible for the operation and maintenance of the oven with a simple, but comprehensive understanding of its proper use. We recommend that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided prior to placing the oven into operation. As with any piece of food service equipment, this oven system requires a minimum of care and maintenance. Recommended procedures are contained in this manual and should become a regular part of the operation of the unit.
PRINCIPLES OF COOK & HOLD OVENS
CPG SlowPro Cook & Hold Ovens are designed and perfected for cooking at a
lower temperature.
The principles of Low-Temperature Cooking and Holding can be summarized into
several objectives:
- Increased product yields
- Increased profits from increased yields,
- Increased moisture retention
- Increased tenderization
- Consistency of doneness
When the CPG SlowPro Cook & Hold Oven finishes the cooking cycle, it
automatically switches to the hold cycle. Throughout this manual, we recommend
holding temperatures such as 140°F (60°C). This temperature refers to the
oven’s hold temperature setting and not to the internal temperature of the
food being roasted. The internal product temperature will run below the hold
temperature. (For example, roast beef held at 140°F will be about 130°F
internally or medium-rare.) All meat products contain enzymes. These enzymes
perform the important function of tenderizing the meat when they reach
temperatures of 100°F (38°C) to 140°F (60°C). As these enzymes are heated,
they break down the connective tissue that is inherent in all red meat
products. The hold cycle allows this natural tenderization process to proceed
in an orderly manner. As long as the internal temperature of the meat does not
exceed 140°F, the process will continue. Once the temperature reaches 140°F
the process will stop, because the enzymes will be deactivated. This
tenderization process makes the meat more flavorful. It is similar to aging
meat before it is sold. The longer the hold, the higher degree of
tenderization.
NOTE: Each hour of holding is equal to one day of aging.
BENEFITS OF COOK & HOLD OVENS
SUPERIOR RESULTS
Low-temperature roasting equals increased tenderness and a juicer product.
REDUCED ENERGY COSTS
It costs significantly less to run a CPG SlowPro Cook & Hold Oven instead of a
conventional oven. Also, in most areas, no exhaust hood is needed.
REDUCED SHRINKAGE OF PRODUCT
You can cut your percent of shrinkage from 25 to 30% down to 5 to 10%. The CPG
SlowPro Cook & Hold Oven can pay for itself in just months, depending on your
volume.
REDUCED LABOR COST
Your cooks do not have to come in early to put roasts in or stay late to take
them out of the oven.
INSTALLATION
Before installing, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the rating plate located on the lower back corner of the oven. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with unpacking and installation. Contact your Cooking Performance Group Service Department immediately.
