H. LT Cooking: Cooking at Low Temperatures

NOTES:

Use oven temperatures from 86°F to 212°F

LT Cooking requires use of the Core Temperature Sensor

Dark types of meat are particularly suited to low-temperature cooking.

Some of the benefits of Low Temperature cooking:

Meat retains almost all its raw weight, and becomes very tender and juicy.

To prevent the surface of foods from drying out, the fan runs for 2 seconds every minute when
below 212°F.

This method of cooking prevents crustiness.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

SET the oven temperature only a few degrees higher than the final core temperature.

The higher the oven temperature, the greater the meat shrinkage.
