Cook & Hold Ovens

Cook and Hold ovens provide the versatility that every commercial kitchen needs. Able to cook, hold and reheat, this equipment is perfect for slow cooking at low temperatures. There's no more worrying about deadlines. Unlike other ovens and range cookers, cook and hold ovens to allow chefs to get a head start on service by cooking foods in advance, taking advantage of the smooth transition from cooking to holding without any detrimental impact to the end result. 

What Is a Cook and Hold Oven?

Cooking to either a set time or to core temperatures with the aid of a probe, ovens automatically switch to appropriate holding temperatures once the cooking cycle has ended. Dishes are held at optimum serving temperatures without continuing the heating process, with retention of natural moisture for juicy, tender results worthy of any professional establishment.

 

Capable of reducing food waste and maintaining the freshness of cooked dishes, commercial holding ovens have revolutionised the way in which busy professional kitchens operate.

 

Delivering hassle-free production of professional dishes without the need for continuous monitoring, cook and hold ovens are a revelation to busy catering kitchens.

 

Cook and hold ovens offer a similar function to potato ovens where the bottom oven is used to cook quantities of jacket potatoes and the top section used to hold cooked potatoes at perfect serving temperatures. Many potato ovens have a more compact footprint, making them perfect for mobile catering vans.
