Poultry

The humidity during combined operation prevents drying out which, especially in the case of poultry, is crucial. At the same time, the high temperature lends crispy browning to the surface. The heat transmitted by the hot steam is twice as high as in the case of conventional hot air and it reaches all parts of the food. This is why a chicken becomes browned and crispy all-round, and nevertheless the breast meat stays tender and juicy.

The cooking times specified serve to help you orientate yourself and depend very much on the initial temperature of the food. Use the core temperature probe for better control. Do not place it in the middle (cavity), but between the belly and the thigh. You will find further notes and optimum target temperatures in the section entitled Core temperature probe.

If you season poultry mainly with spices and with little or no oil, the skin will become crispier.

Start cooking with the breast pointing down. Turn the duck round after half of the cooking time. In this way, the sensi- tive breast meat will not dry out so much.
