The time and temperature are suggested guidelines only. All cooking
should be based on internal product temperatures. Due to variations
in product quality, weight and desired degree of doneness, the cooking
timer may need to be adjusted accordingly. Always follow local health
(hygiene) regulations for all internal temperature requirements.
SMOKING PROCEDURE
OVEN MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE
BEGINNING THE COLD SMOKE PROCEDURE.
Soak wood chips in water according to directions
(5-15 minutes), fill wood chip container full and insert
in chip holder located at the back of the oven.
Fill pan with ice and locate pan in shelf position
number 7 (just above wood chip container).
Place prepared salmon fillets on a wire grid as
indicated on the diagram and insert wire grid on oven
shelf beginning with the top shelf position.
Insert probe of thermocouple thermometer into the
center of the middle salmon fillet located in the top
shelf position or central shelf position when smoking
a full load. To maintain proper color, the internal
temperature of the salmon must not exceed 77°F
(25°C). For this reason, it is important to begin the
smoking process with the oven at room temperature.
Make certain oven vents are closed. Close oven door
and set smoke time from 10 to 20 minutes depending
on taste preference. When the smoke timer cycles to
the OFF position, the fillets must remain in the oven
for a period of 1-2 hours. Do not open the oven door
during this period.
Following the required oven time, remove the fillets,
cover with clear plastic wrap and refrigerate until
fully chilled.
