10.5 Rethermalization
Application
The rethermalization cooking program can be used to rethermalize food that has already been set up
on plates, trays, or standard size bakeware.
Temperature range and rethermalization time
The rethermalization time and temperature will depend on the product, the thickness of the various
layers, and the number of plates or standard size bakeware involved in the rethermalization sequence.
Advantages
This provides the following advantages:
■
Cook&Chill: You can take advantage of slow, low-activity periods to make food and set it up on
plates or trays after chilling it.
■
You can then rethermalize the food on any number of these plates or trays as necessary.
■
Food will not dry up when being rethermalized.
■
Rethermalization prevents condensate puddles and dry edges on plates with food.
■
You can rethermalize food on plates and standard size bakeware at the same time.
How to use the cooking program optimally
Follow the recommendations below:
■
Dishes in which ingredients are packed tightly, such as flour dumplings, potato dumplings, rou‐
lades, and casseroles, will take longer to rethermalize than, for instance, sliced roast, vegetable
side dishes, rice, and potato wedges or Tourné potatoes.
■
Avoid overlapping across large areas and do not arrange the components in your dishes at differ‐
ent heights.
■
Put fish and meat on a bed of rice or a similar arrangement so that they will rethermalize evenly
and will not get stuck on the plate.
■
Pre-cook your food to 80% of its final state. For example, roast meat until 'rare' if it should be 'medi‐
um' after it is rethermalized.
■
Add a drizzle of oil or some butter to vegetables, rice, and pasta before rethermalizing them.
■
Do not pour sauces onto the plates until after the corresponding food has been rethermalized.
What kinds of foods can be prepared with this program?
Some examples of foods for which the rethermalization program can be used include:
■
Virtually any type of food
Rethermalization rules
Observe the following rules when rethermalizing food:
■
Always pre-heat the combi oven.
■
After every rethermalization sequence, heat up the combi oven to the pre-heating temperature
again. Once the oven reaches the pre-heating temperature, you can proceed to rethermalize the
food you want immediately.
