Practical tips
9.1 General use
Thanks to very precise temperature control and the
special dehumidification system, the Hold-o-mat can
keep food warm, especially meat and bakery products,
over long periods in prime condition while improving
quality. Vegetables and other side dishes can also be
kept warm.
9.2 Meat
The optimal temperature for keeping meat warm
over a period of hours is about 5–10 degrees above the
desired core temperature (max. 5 hours). If different
cuts of meat e.g. red and white, large sides and small
off cuts are to be warmed together, set a temperature of
between 68° to 72°C.
With every hour that the meat is kept warm in the
Hold-o-mat it becomes more tender. Please note,
however, that the meat should not be stored for too
long, as this can adversely affect its taste. Best results
are obtained by using relatively fresh meat kept warm
for under five hours.
Ideally, meat should be inserted into the Hold-o-mat
on grilles. Meat juices can be collected in a tray on the
interior floor. This way, precise regular temperature is
guaranteed and the meat does not lie in its own juices
as on a tray. The dried-on residue on the tray is easier
to remove than if a tray is used on every level.
9.3 Dehumidifier
The humidity level inside the unit can be regulated
precisely and visibly by means of the 3-stage
dehumidifier on the door. Normally the dehumidifier is
closed for vegetables and cooking au gratin, and
completely open for bakery products, deep-fried and
breaded foods (min. 80°C). The half-open setting for
other foods can be used as you see fit. Please direct all
questions to your specialist.
9.4 Temperature regulator
Please note that opening the door frequently can
lower the effective actual temperature, and thus the
temperature of the food. (Due to the in-built time lag, the
indicator does not react so quickly). If this reaction is
noticed, increase the desired temperature by a few
degrees.
