T

he LTC procedures work at low temperatures guaranteeing

high food quality, and repeatable top results with reduced
weight loss by 50% (compared to traditional cooking cycles).
You can program the Low Temperature Cooking during the
night and in the morning you will have perfectly cooked
meals with less weight loss and an oven cavity that is easier
to clean.

The excellence of food is characterized by:
• Meat retains most of its juices when sliced
• Limited crust thickness (around 1 mm)
• Tenderness guaranteed throughout the joint
• Typical roasting aroma and excellent consistency
• Consistent colour of the slices throughout

The Low Temperature Cooking is ideal for bulk production
and banqueting, thanks to the “Hold” function you can
always have fresh food, also when preparing meals before
the arrival of guests.
Your business can be increased thanks to the standardized
quality of food and the reduced weight loss. For example in
an hotel with about 500 meals per day, you can save around
€12.000 per year.
The LTC program is ideal for: roast beef, tenderloin, rump of
beef, big joints, turkey, leg of lamb, venison, veal and pork.
