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 tenderness a nd
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
Coo king from Stored Heat --- w h en t h e p r im 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 the 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.
