ECO - Delta Cooking

It is a unique method of controlling the oven chamber temperature in conjunction with the core temperature of the food. The operator is able to select a “delta” value between 1 °C < 120 °C, we recommend using between 20 °C < 70 °C

An example of Linear ECO - Delta Cooking

This type of cooking is ideally suited to large joints of meat and the way to use it is to select the cooking mode, e.g. Combi. Then select a core temperature value, then go into functions and select ECO - Delta. At this point you will see on the oven temperature display “20 °C” which is a “delta” value you may select. Using the dial knob select the “delta” value you wish, for example 40 °C.

Close the oven door and press the start button to activate the cooking cycle (if you wish you could also put in the second phase of a pause mode for

2 minutes, this would start when the core temperature you selected had been reached).

The core temperature of the meat may be for example 14 °C when the cooking cycle has started, the oven temperature will then go to approx. 54 °C, which is 40 °C above the core temperature. As the core temperature of the meat rises by one degree so too does the oven temperature, with the difference being maintained at 40 °C which is the “delta” value you selected.

If you selected a final core temperature of say 68 °C then the oven chamber temperature would be 108 °C at the end of the cooking cycle.

This cooking method is much slower than the “normal” way of cooking but the benefits are higher yields which translate to bigger profits!
