Manual Is Important For The Prop-How Cook & Hold Works - Blodgett DFG-100 Installation Operating & Maintenance Manual

With the optional COOK & HOLD feature, meat is roasted
at lower temperatures for longer periods of time. This pre-
serves flavor and tenderness and prevents over drying.
There are three phases in cook and hold roasting.
• Primary Cooking - controlled by the COOK & HOLD
TIMER. The meat is cooked at a low temperature
until approximately 2/3 done.
• Cooking from Stored Heat - when the primary cook
time expires, the oven automatically switches to
HOLD. The product continues to cook from the heat
stored in the oven. Meat must remain in the hold
cycle for a minimum of 1-1/2 to 2 hours before being
served.
• Hold - holds the product for several hours before
serving without loss of moisture or tenderness.
All meat should be completely thawed by refrigeration. Us-
ing frozen meat increases the cook time causing shrink-
age.
