Combi

Use the Combi mode to cook meat and bakery products.

Some of the benefits of Combi Mode are:

•Combi Hot Air and Superheated Steam Mode guarantee optimum cooking conditions every time.

•The oven climate is matched to the dish and volume being cooked.

•Humidity values need not be set manually.

•Food stays moist.

•The flavor and aroma of dishes are optimized.

•Foods can be cooked very rapidly with minimum loss of weight.

•Flavors are not transferred if different foods are cooked at the same time.

•Bread doughs proof (rise) perfectly.

•The pores of large roasting items are immediately sealed by the steam.

•The interior of the oven can be demoisturized (Crisp & Tasty function) to make juicy, crispy, evenly browned dishes.

NOTE:

•PRE-HEATcountertop models for 10-15 minutes and floor models for 30 minutes at a 10-20% HIGHER temperature than the cooking temperature.

•Always pre-heat floor models with the trolley or pre-heat bridge in place.

•The higher the oven temperature, the more darkly food browns, but the loss of weight also increases.

•Browning begins around 248°F.

•SET COOKING TEMPERATURE 10-20% LOWER THAN TRADITIONAL COOKING METHODS.

•Roasting: Place meat on a wire rack. This closes the pores of the meat all over so it cooks evenly and without turning.

•Place a catch pan on a wire rack under the meat to catch the drippings.

•To make stock: add bones, mire poix (vegetable mix for roasts) and seasonings to the catch pan. Gradually add water.

•Place baking dishes or casseroles on a wire rack for quick and even cooking.

•Baking: Use the Combi mode for a shiny surface on your baked goods.

•Braised meat: Place meat in deep containers and add stock.

•Fats and oils When using the CONVOTHERM by Cleveland for roasting, oils and fats with a high smoking point give very good results.

•Oven temperature Select an oven temperature 10-20% LOWER than for traditional methods.

•Seasonings Rub seasoning well into large roasting items so that it is not rinsed off.

•Quick roast - Place quick roast items on wire racks or baking sheets. Do not use deep unperforated containers. These can lead to uneven results.
