Poultry
▯
The humidity for combination operation prevents
the drying out, which is essential with poultry. At
the same time, thanks to the high temperature, the
surface gets crispy and brown. The hot steam has
twice as much ability to transfer heat as
conventional hot air and reaches all parts of the
food. Therefore, a chicken is browned evenly and
gets crispy, yet the breast meat remains tender and
juicy.
▯
The cooking times specified should be regarded as
guidelines and depend heavily on the initial
temperature of the food and the food cooked. For
better results, use the core temperature sensor. Do
not place it in the middle (hollow space), but rather
between the belly and upper thigh. For notes and
optimal target temperatures, see the "core
temperature probe" chapter.
▯
If you season poultry primarily with spices and with
little or no oil, the skin gets crispier.

Start cooking with the breast pointing
down. Turn the duck round after half of the
cooking time. In this way, the sensitive
breast meat will not dry out so much.
