5. Equipment characteristics
RETIGO VISION is a universal device for the
preparation of meals. It enables the user to prepare a
complete menu. It is possible to carry out all kinds of
thermal processing of food in the RETIGO VISION
combi steamer, such as roasting, frying, grilling, stewing,
steaming, cooking at low temperatures, low-temperature
overnight roasting/baking. An advantages is that food
is processed with a low consumption of water and oil
and the transfer of smells between various meals is
prevented. Vitamins and minerals are preserved, while
considerable power, area and time savings are
achieved. Due to the ability to control humidity in the
cooking cabinet there are great savings in the weight of
the food processed.
It is also possible to use the combi steamer as
proong compartment, to preserve and dry fruits or
other technological processes. All such processes are
programmable and can be carried out without the need
for personnel. Use of the temperature probe is another
advantage, especially with foods sensitive to high
temperatures (roast beef).
If the equipment is used reasonably, you can save
considerable space and time, which would otherwise be
taken up by single-purpose cooking appliances.
Thermal processing of food takes place in the
cooking cabinet where hot air is circulated evenly by the
ventilation fan. Air can be humidied by the generation
of steam. Humidity is controlled automatically according
to set value and operation. During steam operation the
humidity is set to 100%, in combined operation it can be
adjusted.
All processes are automatically controlled by
a microcomputer that is integrated in the control sytem
of the combi steamer.
The cooking itself can take three different forms:
• Less experienced users can use EASY
COOKING which will recommend and set
suitable values according to the meal that is
being prepared. EASY COOKING uses
technology which has been developed by
a team of RETIGO expert chefs and includes all
kinds of food processing that can be performed
in the combi steamer.
• Another option is to use pre-set programs or
create custom programs. 1000 programs
(recipes) can be entered into the combi steamer
memory and each can contain up to 20 steps.
Each step can include different parameters and
