We use a single-point sensor with PT 500, which is placed in the tip of
the sensor. Ensure that the tip of the sensor is always in the middle (not
the edge) of the piece of meat.
Before plunging into the piece of meat, the pointer must be somewhat
cooled off with a wet piece of kitchen paper, to avoid a white edge in the
meat.
A preheated Hold-o-mat is required. Because the Hold-o-mat has a pow-
er-saving connected load of 1 kW, preheating to 110°C can take about 30
minutes.
With small quantities, a 10-minute cooking phase (phase 1) is enough.
With large quantities, it is better to enter 30 to 60 minutes, so that the
Hold-o-mat can process the "cold mass".
If the device is very full on 2 levels, temperature differences between
the upper and lower floor can occur. The KTM sensor should therefore
always be placed on the upper floor. When the programme finishes, the
upper pieces of meat are perfect, and the lower ones catch up during an
extend-ed Hold phase.
The time required depends on the piece size. For instance, for 10 kg of
roast beef on 2 levels, about 4 to 5 hours are required.
Ideally, a buffer time for the Hold phase should be calculated. First of all
we are on the safe side for time, and secondly, the meat continues to
mature and becomes more tender in the Hold phase.
For a slow cooking phase of more than 8 hours, always use freshly
slaughtered meat (max. 36 hours after slaughter).
Good manufacturing practice is a requirement, and releases the manu-
facturer from legal steps.
With the device switched off, you can press button 6 (Cook & Hold or
KTM function button) for 2 seconds.
In display 5, the indication "Vol" appears, and in display 4, a number bet-
ween 0 and 5.
With button 2 (Down) or 3 (Up), you can change the volume between
stages 0 and 5 (0 = buzzer switched off, 1 = quiet, 5 = loud). The current
volume sounds all the time.
When you leave this setting mode again by pressing button 6, the newly
selected volume is stored.
When the sensor is not in use, put it away as shown in the photograph,
so that it does not interfere with any dishes and the plug-and-socket
connection remains tight.
