Operation
How Cook and Hold Works
With the optional COOK & HOLD feature, meat is roasted at lower temperatures for longer periods of time. This preserves flavor and tenderness and prevents over drying. There are three phases in cook and hold roasting.
DPrimary Cooking
DCooking from Stored Heat
DHold
All meat should be completely thawed by refriger- ation. Using frozen meat increases the cook time causing shrinkage.
