●
Soft Steaming: 30 °C (86 °F) to 99 °C (210.2 °F)
●
Steaming: 100 °C (212 °F)
●
Express Steaming: 101 °C (213.8 °F) to 130 °C (266 °F)
Benefits
●
Fast production of dishes that are firm to the bite with a good colour
and an intensive natural flavour.
●
Vitamins and minerals are retained.
●
Flavours are not transferred. The food retains its taste and aroma;
mixed loads are possible.
Operating manual18
Global Foodservice Solutions
SmartCombi
Tips
™
Construction and function
●
Less seasoning, fats and salt needed.
●
Use perforated GN containers with a depth of 40–65 mm. These
allow for short cooking times and avoid the food underneath being
overcooked.
●
Break up lumps of ice when using frozen foodstuffs so that all the
food will be heated evenly.
●
Chill vegetables quickly after steaming, add butter and season.
●
Use stock for vegetable bundles. Steam the vegetables in
perforated GN containers and catch the stock in unperforated
containers.
●
Steam long grain rice in unperforated containers.
Use 1½ parts of cold water or cold stock to 1 part of rice.
●
Steam hard wheat pasta in unperforated containers.
Use at least 5 parts of water for 1 part of pasta.
●
Steam large and small dumplings in perforated containers lined
with baking paper.
Uncover immediately after cooking.
If necessary, keep them warm in water thickened with starch.
●
Sprinkle potatoes with fine grained salt and mix immediately before
steaming.
Alternatively, place potatoes in salt water for 15 minutes.
Benefits
Tips
Soft steaming
Steaming at temperatures between 30 °C (86 °F) and 99 °C (210.2 °F)
is called Soft steaming.
You can use soft steaming to prepare dishes especially gently, to swell
grains or to cook ham or sausages.
NOTICE
Cooking time is longer than with steaming or express steaming.
●
Less weight loss with meat and sausages.
●
Burst skin or gut is avoided when scalding or heating sausages.
●
Optimal food quality with delicate dishes such as terrines, jellies,
flans, forcemeat dumplings, creme caramel or diet meals.
●
Good when using vacuum pouches with the sous vide process.
●
Egg white sets optimally thanks to the precise cooking temperature
and doesn't run out of the food.
●
Allow yeast doughs for bread, buns or pastries to rise at a
temperature of 32 °C (89.6 °F).
●
When preparing poached trout, pour vinegar or wine over the fish.
Global Foodservice Solutions
19Operating manual
Construction and function
Express steaming
Steaming at temperatures between 101 °C (213.8 °F) and 130 °C (266 °F)
is called Express steaming.
Express steaming is suitable for foods that are not damaged easily such
as jacket potatoes, beetroot, swede, pulses and cabbage.
Benefits The cooking time is reduced by about 10% as compared to the “Steaming”
cooking mode.
Tips
●
●
3.5.2 Combisteaming
SmartCombi
™
Set the cooking temperature between 105 °C (221 °F) and 110 °C
(230 °F) for small loads.
If the unit is fully loaded, set the temperature between 110 °C (230 °F)
and 130 °C (266 °F).
Benefits
Tips
The Combisteaming cooking mode is especially suitable for large roasting
joints, casseroles and baked foods.
●
Optimal cooking chamber climate: the food does not dry out.
●
Very fast cooking with minimum weight loss.
●
Flavours are not transferred. The food retains its taste and aroma;
mixed loads are possible.
●
Foods such as yeast-based doughs rise optimally when baking.
●
The steam closes the pores of large roasting joints immediately;
searing is not necessary.
●
Preheat unit for at least 10–15 minutes.
●
Reduce cooking temperature by 20–30 % compared to other cooking
methods.
●
Food starts to brown at a cooking temperature of 120 °C (248 °F)
and above.
The higher the set cooking temperature, the greater the food's weight
loss but the more intensive the level of browning.
●
Place roast joints on racks.The pores of the joint will be closed from
all sides, the joints do not have to be turned over.
●
Place a drip tray underneath the rack holding the joints for gravy or
drippings. Place bones, roast vegetables and seasonings in the drip
tray and pour water or stock over them.
3.5.3 Convection
The Convection cooking mode is especially suitable for products that
don't need any additional humidity.
●
Benefits

Tips
3.5.4 Perfection (climate and regeneration)
™
Construction and function
●
Up to 95 % less fat required as with other cooking modes.
●
Preheat unit for at least 10–15 minutes.
●
Food starts to brown at a cooking chamber temperature of 120 °C
(248 °F) and above.
The higher the set cooking chamber temperature, the greater the
food's weight loss but the more intensive the level of browning.
●
To produce crumbed dishes, use convenience products that are
suitable for convection or crumbed products with browning fats.
With the perfection cooking mode, food can be regenerated in perfect
quality on plates, platters or in GN containers.
Benefits
Tips
●
Production and presentation of meals in quiet, slack periods: for
banquets, you can regenerate as many plates as you wish on
demand.
●
No loss of quality due to keeping prepared meals warm.
●
Optimal cooking chamber climate: the food does not dry out.
●
No condensation or dry edges on the plates.
●
Preheat the unit then fill it quickly. In this way, the prewarmed air
remains in the cooking chamber.
●
Large thick foods such as dumplings, roulades or casseroles need
more time to regenerate: slice up thick components.
●
Individually arrange meal components evenly on the plate. Keep
overlaps to a minimum and avoid different heights when arranging.
●
Only add sauces to the plates after regeneration is completed.
●
Place fish and meat on a raised bed so that they will be regenerated
evenly and not stick to the plate.
●
Meat should be pre-cooked precisely to the minute if it is to be
served medium after regenerating.
●
Season vegetables, rice and pasta and add fat before regenerating.
●
Use thermo covers and multiple banquet trolleys if the meals are
to be transported over a long distance and for large banquets.
Warm the thermo covers before use.
Plates can only be kept warm for a maximum of 20 minutes.
Regenerate further batches during this time: in this way you can
serve the meals to your guests at the same time.
●
To reduce cooking time, use portioned GN containers with lids for
regenerating foods that are already portioned.
●
Regeneration time and regeneration temperature are dependent
on the number of plates (see table “Plate capacities” and table
“Regeneration temperatures and times”).

3.5.5 Delta-T cooking
With Delta-T cooking, the cooking temperature depends on the core
temperature of the food being cooked. Cooking times with Delta-T cooking
are longer than with other cooking modes.You can make good use of
slack periods by using the additional “preset start time” function.
With Delta-T cooking, the cooking temperature is always higher than the
actual core temperature of the food being cooked.This difference is a
previously set value (Delta-T value).
The formula is:
current core temperature + Delta-T value = cooking temperature
Since the core temperature of the food being cooked is needed, you must
use the core temperature sensor with Delta-T cooking.

The Delta-T value should always be at least 10 °C (50 °F) to avoid

The raw weight of large roasting joints is almost fully retained thanks to
the especially gentle cooking process (temperature range of60 °C
(140 °F)–100 °C (212 °F)); cooking losses are minimal.
To avoid crusts forming, the AtmosControl climate control system
optimises the cooking chamber climate and the fan operates in cycle
mode.
The benefits are:
●
Reduced dehydration
●
Even cooking
●
Reduced crust formation
To obtain a crisp crust, sear with higher temperatures in a previous
cooking step.
●
Food can be kept warm without the surface becoming dry.
Low temperature cooking consists of two cooking steps: searing and the
actual low-temperature cooking step.
NOTICE
The chamber temperature should be only slightly, but at least 5 °C (41
°F), above the target core temperature for the food to be cooked. If the
difference between chamber temperature and core temperature is less
than 5 °C (41 °F), it is possible that the target core temperature will not
be reached.
The higher the cooking chamber temperature, the greater the food's
cooking loss but the more intensive the level of browning.
