Cook & Hold































COOK & HOLD is a Delta-T mode which, in addition, keeps the food hot when it is done.

COOK & HOLD maintains the core temperature until the program is interrupted (by pressing
ON/OFF, by opening the oven door, or when the time has run out).

Cook & Hold can be activated in HOT AIR, STEAMING, REHEATING (recommended) and
CLIMAOPTIMA.

Recommended holding temperature is 60 – 65°C (at temperatures above 60°C, a gradual
dehydration of proteins takes place, the weight of the meat is reduced and the meat becomes
less juicy).

At the above temperature, the meat can be taken out immediately before carving.

After 5 – 6 hours’ preparation in COOK & HOLD, shrinkage increases.
