Mr.C recommends:
■ Caution
Always open the CONVOTHERM carefully.
The escaping steam can cause scalding!
■ Roasting with browning fat
When roasting in the CONVOTHERM you
achieve very good results with oils and
fats with low smoking point.
■ Roasting on enamelled trays or
coated/superpen trays
When roasting you achieve very good results
also on the under-side of the products using
these trays.
■ Roasting
Do not use deep GN vessels as roasts
otherwise do not brown uniformly.
Place roasts on the shelf. This allows the pores
of the roasts to close on all sides and you
