12 Low-temperature cooking
Low-temperature cooking is the ideal cooking method
for cooking all tender pieces of meat which are to be
cooked medium rare or "à point". The meat remains
very juicy and turns out as soft as butter. Since the
times for low-temperature cooking are considerably
longer, you have plenty of leeway for menu planning.
Meat that is cooked at a low temperature is easy to
keep warm.
Note the recommended settings.

12.1 Tips for low-temperature cooking
This is where you will find tips for achieving good res-
ults when cooking at a low temperature.
¡ Only use fresh, good-quality meat. Carefully remove
sinews and fat from around the edge. Fat develops
a strong, distinct taste during low-temperature cook-
ing.
¡ Even larger pieces of meat do not need to be
turned.
¡ You can cut the meat immediately after low-temper-
ature cooking. No standing time is required.
¡ Due to the special cooking method, the meat always
looks pink on the inside. This does not mean, how-
ever, that the meat is raw or not well done enough.
¡ The meat that is cooked at a low temperature is not
as hot as conventionally roasted meat. Ensure that
the sauces are very hot when you serve them. Place
the plate in the warming drawer in the last
20-30 minutes.
¡ If you want to keep meat that is cooked at a low
temperature warm, select 60 °C. Small pieces of
meat can be kept warm for up to 45 minutes and
large pieces for up to 2 hours.
