OPERATION

SMOKING PROCEDURE OPTIONS

Many of the procedures listed in the front section of this
guide can be adapted to the Alto-Shaam Smoker.

1.

Follow the load capacities for the 750, 1000 and 1200
series ovens.

2.

Follow the cooking and holding temperatures and
times listed.

3.

Set the Smoking Timer for the amount of smoke
flavor desired.

A. ONE-STEP COOKING

:

After the COOK time is complete and the minimum
number of hours in the HOLD cycle have elapsed, the
product may remain ON HOLD until serving time.

B. TWO-STEP COOKING

:

Remove product from the oven after the minimum

number of hours in the HOLD cycle. Chill product
quickly and prepare for refrigerated storage.
Refrigerated product can be sauced and finished on
a char-broiler, in a convection oven, a combination
oven/steamer or in a salamander for a la carte service.
This process takes between 8 and 15 minutes and
insures a tender, juicy and fresh tasting product.
When using cook/chill processing techniques,
products have an extended storage life of 5 days
which includes the day of preparation and the day of
service.

DETERMINING IF PRODUCT IS
SUFFICIENTLY COOKED

1.

Insert a thermometer into the center of the product

to determine if the correct internal temperature
has been reached.

RED MEAT:

RARE: 130° to 135°F (54° to 57°C)

MEDIUM: 140° to 145°F (60° to 63°C)

WELL: 155° to 160°F (66° to 71°C)

2. When following the procedures in the individual

product cooking instructions, additional cooking
time should not be necessary. If, however, the
required internal product temperature has not
been reached after the product has remained in
the HOLD cycle for the one hour minimum time
period, additional cooking time may be added.
Use the same COOK temperature set for the
original cooking cycle until the correct internal
temperature has been reached.
