Warning
Always open the CONVOTHERM carefully.
Escaping steam can cause scalding.
Mr.C recommends:
• Oven temperature
Select the oven temperature for large
roasting joints about 10 - 20 °C lower
compared with traditional cooking
methods.
• Heat transfer
For quick roast items, use enamelled
or coated baking trays (Superpan).
• Core temperature measurement
As a general rule, the best results for large
roasting joints are achieved with the multi-point
sensor. Every degree in excess of the required
core temperature significantly increases meat
shrinkage.
• Meat shrinkage
The ‘Superheated steam’ programme
considerably reduces meat loss
• Roasting
Place the roasting joints on an oven shelf so that
they cook evenly. It is not necessary to turn
meat.
