IQT + Low-T Cooking
IQT +Low-T Cooking offers operators a completely automated low
temperature slow-cook solution for maximizing yield, color and consistency
of large roasts.
Capabilities
+Low-T (low temperature) is a gentle cooking process designed for cooking large
roasts over a long period of time. The completely automated cook cycle begins with
a brief searing phase followed by a progressive lowering of the cabinet temperature
until it matches the desired core temperature of the food. Over the remaining time,
the actual core temperature of the slowly cooking meat continues to rise until it
reaches the desired core temperature. At this point, the entire roast has reached the
same temperature as its surrounding environment and can be held up to 24 hours.

Advantages
Slow, gentle process results in uniform cooking and prevents overcooking.
Mild cooking climate helps meat retain natural juices and flavor with minimal
weight loss and shrinkage.
Completely automated process compensates for load size and type of meat.
Rapid temperature drop after searing prevents overcooked exteriors. Steady
increase in core temperature results in uniform color and texture inside.
Automatic cook and hold process permits unattended, overnight cooking to
improve production efficiency and take advantage of lower energy rates.
NOTE: +Low-T is a complete cooking program that automatically controls the
cooking process. It cannot be used as a step in another program. However, IQT
+Low-T can be saved with specific settings as an individual custom program
(See Programming, page 43.)
