Cook-and-hold ovens preserve the quality of food and use less electricity than conventional ovens. They are made of heavy-duty stainless steel and feature thick insulation for withholding maximum heat. Businesses that serve a large amount of roasted meats can really benefit from cook-and-hold ovens. Cooking is done at low temperatures so as to retain the food’s natural flavors and juices. Moisture is not lost during the cooking process, allowing more servings from a cut of meat. Digitally displayed electronic timers indicate how much cooking time is left before the holding cycle begins. Because cooking and holding is performed in the same cabinet, the workload is lessened. No ventilation is required so the oven can be moved around easily. Other foods that can be prepared in cook-and-hold ovens include seafood, poultry, vegetables and frozen entrées.
