ROAST AND HOLD OPERATION — GCO2C OVEN

Roast and Hold cooks the product in two stages. During First Stage Cooking, the oven temperature is regulated by the Roast thermostat for the amount of time set on the Timer. After the lapsed time counts down to 00:00, Second Stage Cooking begins. During Second Stage Cooking, the burners are off as the temperature in the oven declines to the Hold Temperature. The door should remain closed during Second Stage Cooking.

When the Hold temperature is reached, cooking is done. The Time Display counts up the Hold time and flashes "Hold." Temperature in the oven will be maintained at the Hold temperature until the oven is turned off.

DOORS)

 

The use of proper utensils can enhance oven operation. Medium and light weight pans are recommended since it is more economical to bake with lighter pans.

Meats should be roasted in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices and allow free air circulation.

CONSERVING ENERGY

•Turn off unused equipment.

•Adjust menu patterns and cooking or baking schedules for optimum equipment use.

•Reduce thermostat settings in slack periods since gas equipment heats up and recovers quickly.

•Preheat only to the required cooking temperature for the specific food, not higher.

•Do not open the oven door unless absolutely necessary. Use the window to observe cooking progress.

•Keep area around the oven door clean and free of food particles.

•Any obstruction that prevents the door from closing completely will adversely affect oven efficiency.

OPERATING HINTS

When using the convection oven for the first time with a particular food, check the degree of doneness periodically before the suggested time has lapsed to make sure the desired doneness is achieved.

Record your temperature and time settings for various products. The convection oven can provide consistent, repeatable results.
