Cooking Guides
The following section offers basic guidelines for preparing a wide variety
of popular menu items in the Henny Penny ClimaPlus Combi.
Menu items are charted in a format that covers quantities, proper containers, times,
temperatures, ClimaPlus Control settings, and whether probe cooking or and/or
additional items should be employed. As you gain experience with this equipment,
you may wish to adjust these parameters or to add items that better suit the needs
of your foodservice operation and the preferences of your customers. For your
convenience, a blank chart has been included at the end of the section to assist you
in recording data for your individual recipes.
