Tables & Tips for Cooking with the Combi

Steaming at 86°F to 210°F

Reduced shrinkage of meat with optimized flavor, and aroma.

Optimum culinary results are achieved for sensitive foodstuffs such as terrines, flans, force, crème caramel and vegetarian dishes.

Perfect for sous-vide cooking.

Fan operates for 2 seconds every minute to reduce drying when the oven temperature is set below 212°F.
