the process will stop, because the
enzymes will be deactivated.
This tenderization process makes the
meat more flavorful. It is similar to aging
meat before it is sold. The longer the
hold, the higher degree of tenderization.
Each hour of holding is equal to one
day of aging.
BENEFITS OF
COOK & HOLD OVENS
Superior Results: Low temperature
roasting has been recognized as the
best method for preparing meat and
poultry because of increased
tenderness, more even roasting, and a
juicer product.
Increased Sales: You will attract more
customers and have more repeat
business because you are now
producing a superior product in your
market area. All of your products will be
unique, from prime rib and chicken to
BBQ ribs, pork roasts, and even bakery
items!
Reduced Energy Costs: It costs
significantly less to run a Cook & hold
Oven instead of a conventional oven.
Also, in most areas, no exhaust hood is
needed.
Reduced Shrinkage of Product: You
can cut your percent of shrinkage from
25 to 30% down to 5 to 10%. This
means more servings to sell to your
customers! The Wittco Cook & Hold
Oven can pay for itself in just months,
depending on your volume.
Reduced Labor Cost: Your cooks do
not have to come in early to put roasts
in or stay late to take them out of the
oven. Holding banquet foods in a Wittco
Cook & Hold Oven reduces that last
minute party prep to almost nothing.
COMPARISON OF
COOK & HOLD OVENS
“The Comparison Stops Here” –
more than a catchy slogan, it’s a fact.
Convection ovens, unlike Wittco Cook &
Hold Ovens, blast high temperature dry
air over the product. The end result with
convection oven cooking is excessive
and unnecessary shrinkage.
