ClimaPlus Control
®
Use ClimaPlus Control to set, measure and maintain desired humidity in the
cooking environment. ClimaPlus is a patented technology that precisely and
automatically measures and controls the amount of humidity in the cooking
climate. This gives operators the flexibility and control to produce crisp crusts
for roast chicken... tender consistency for roasts, ribs, and meat loaf... delicate
evenness for light breads, cakes and pastries... perfect browning for au gratin
dishes, casseroles, and pies.
Advantages
Control humidity to:
Improve the quality of foods with different textures and consistencies.
Enable precise finishing of delicate items.
Cook a wide variety of foods at the same time, including sauces and stocks.
Achieve proper cooking intensity for doughy pastries.
Increase humidity to:
Promote basting.
Retain food's natural flavors and nutrients.
Prevent dehydration for increased portions.
Remove humidity to:
Achieve browning.
Increase crispness and texture.
Maintain a consistent environment when baking or roasting "wet" foods.
Tips
A good approach to using ClimaPlus is to observe the cooking process and react
with the appropriate adjustment to the humidity level. Use ClimaPlus when:
• Food perspires
• Condensation forms on pans
• Browning needs to proceed more rapidly
ClimaPlus Control is most effective with foods that have high moisture content.
ClimaPlus is well suited to maintain a consistent environment when cooking
frozen or partially frozen meats, casseroles, entrées or side dishes.
Be sure to use Combination Mode if you wish ClimaPlus to add humidity.
