Cooking
1. The machine will take from 60-90 minutes to cook a full load of chickens depending on chicken size and
core temperature.
2. There are many variables that affect the cooking time and experience is the best guide for the best
cooking results. Typical indications of properly cooked birds are no free blood visible, legs removable
with ease and bone marrow dark grey. The chicken is not cooked unless it has reached a core
temperature of 75°C. Many operators however, prefer chickens to have reached a core temperature of
80°C
— 90°C.
3. Flaring of the fire will blacken and burn chickens. It may be necessary to watch this carefully when
cooking full loads of chickens.
Note : Bird core temperature, use of stuffing’s, marinades and variation in chicken sizes will influence cook
times and the consistency of results.
Unloading
1. When the birds are cooked lift the chickens to a higher tier or off the machine onto a Semak UT1
Unloading Trolley. If you turn the motor off fats may drip to the fire below and catch alight.
2. Make sure that the work area used for handling cooked chickens is separate from the area where
uncooked chickens are prepared (refer to Health Department Regulations).
3. Chickens need to be maintained at 60°C for sale as cooked chicken. The batch will need to be discarded
if allowed to cool below this temperature and not chilled.
