IQT +Delta-T Cooking
(with IQT Logic)
IQT +Delta-T Cooking offers operators a gentle, effective and completely auto-
mated program for cooking hams and large marinated, salted or cured cuts of
meat with the best flavor and yield.
Capabilities
+Delta-T uses IQT Logic to provide a gentle slow-cooking process in which
the cabinet temperature rises slowly in direct proportion to the rise in the core
temperature of the meat. The constant difference between the two is called the
Delta-T or “difference in temperature.” The operator enters both the “done” core
temperature of the meat and the Delta-T number. The actual cabinet temperature
rises quickly to forma mild crust that seals in juices and nutrients, then rises grad-
ually pulling the temperature of the meat up gently to the desired core temperature.
Advantages
■
Creates a specific, gentle cooking process for hams and large cuts of marinated
or cured meat.
■
Process causes proteins to coagulate and meat fibers to swell, retaining juices
and nutrients.
■
Rapidly created outer crust seals in flavor and natural juices.
■
When core temperature is reached unit remains in holding phase.
■
Completely automated, no observation of the cooking process is necessary.
Great for off-peak hours production.
NOTE:
+Delta-T is a complete cooking program that uses IQT Logic to automati-
cally control the cooking process. It cannot be used as a step in another program.
However, IQT +Delta-T can be saved with specific settings as an individual custom
program (See Programming, page 43.)
