COOKING

INTRODUCTION

This cooking guide has been produced for your Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven System. It should be used as a handy reference when using your oven. The guide has been developed to help answer questions which you may have relating to product preparation as well as making you familiar with the operation of your Cook & Hold Oven.

When using your oven, experiment with your own house specialties. The degree of doneness varies based upon

individual preferences. These preferences can be easily accomplished by varying the recommended time

guidelines in this manual. The guidelines which are presented in this manual are suggested and have been tested to insure product preparation as indicated.

The concept of “Low Temperature Cooking” is not a science, it is an art. Chefs from around the world vary in terms of the doneness and appearance in the products which they prefer.

Therefore, we suggest first understanding what your Oven System will do for the multitude of applications available to you.

COOKING RACK

The cooking rack is simply placed inside a standard 18” x 26” sheet tray (2/1 Gastronome) and the product which is to be cooked and held is placed on top of the cooking rack. When more than one product is being prepared, the food products should not be cramped together onto one cooking rack. Sufficient room should separate the products on a single cooking rack to insure proper circulation of air around the product.

When loading the oven, an additional 18” x 26” sheet tray, in an inverted position, (Fig. 5) should be placed directly above the food product being prepared. This creates the necessary air flow pattern to produce highly desirable carmelization and uniform roasting of the product.

Depending upon the size of the Cook & Hold Oven, each unit is supplied with a specially designed cooking rack(s). The cooking rack must be used when cooking food products to insure absolute product quality and integrity.

A helpful hint when loading your food product on the cooking rack is to either line your 18” x 26” sheet tray with foil, or spray with a quality vegetable oil. This helps with easy clean up after use.
