GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
PRINCIPLES OF
COOK & HOLD OVENS
Vulcan-Hart Ovens are produced with
quality workmanship and material.
Vulcan Cook & Hold Ovens are
designed and perfected for cooking at a
lower temperature. The principles of
Low Temperature Cooking and Holding
can be summarized into several
objectives: increased product yields,
increased profits from increased
yields, increased moisture retention,
Proper
installation,
usage,
and
maintenance of your oven will result in
many years of satisfactory performance.
The Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven is more
than just an oven – it’s a “System”;
precisely controlled heat, regulated to
retain ascorbic acid and maximize the
nutritional value, taste and eye-appeal
of food. In this environment, virtually
any food product can be prepared to
delicious perfection in just ONE oven!
“System” food preparation eliminates
the need for multiple ovens with
duplicate features.
increased
tenderization,
and
consistency of doneness.
When the Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven
finishes the cooking cycle, it
automatically switches to the hold cycle.
Throughout this manual we recommend
holding temperatures such as 140⁰F
(60⁰C). This temperature refers to the
oven’s hold temperature setting and not
to the internal temperature of the food
being roasted. The internal product
temperature will run below the hold
temperature. (For example: roast beef
held at 140⁰F will be about 130⁰F
internally or medium rare.)
This manual is provided to assist
persons responsible for the operation
and maintenance of the oven with a
simple, but comprehensive under-
standing of its proper use.
We
recommend that you thoroughly read
this entire manual and carefully follow all
of the instructions provided prior to
placing the oven into operation.
All meat products contain enzymes.
These
enzymes
perform
the
As with any piece of food service
equipment, this oven system requires a
minimum of care and maintenance.
important function of tenderizing the
meat when they reach temperatures
of 100⁰F (38⁰C) to 140⁰F (60⁰C). As
these enzymes are heated, they break
down the connective tissue that is
inherent in all red meat products.
Recommended
procedures
are
contained in this manual and should
become a regular part of the operation
of the unit.
The hold cycle allows this natural
tenderization process to proceed in an
orderly manner. As long as the internal
temperature of the meat does not
exceed 140⁰F, the process will continue.
Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven is the right
choice for low temperature food
preparation.

Reduced Energy Costs:
It costs
significantly less to run a Vulcan Cook &
hold Oven instead of a conventional
oven. Also, in most areas, no exhaust
hood is needed.
Once the temperature reaches 140⁰F
the process will stop, because the
enzymes will be deactivated.
This tenderization process makes the
meat more flavorful. It is similar to aging
meat before it is sold. The longer the
hold, the higher degree of tenderization.
Each hour of holding is equal to one
day of aging.
Reduced Shrinkage of Product: You
can cut your percent of shrinkage from
25 to 30% down to 5 to 10%. This
means more servings to sell to your
customers! The Vulcan Cook & Hold
Oven can pay for itself in just months,
depending on your volume.
VRT MODEL:
The Vulcan VRT Model is also a
“Rethermalization Oven System.” The
VRT Model is specifically designed to
retherm chilled/thawed food product as
well as prepared frozen food products
either in bulk or individually wrapped
and sealed packages.
Reduced Labor Cost: Your cooks do
not have to come in early to put roasts
in or stay late to take them out of the
oven.
Holding banquet foods in a
Vulcan Cook & Hold Oven reduces that
last minute party prep to almost nothing.

Never spray the unit with a hose.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Never use harsh chemicals or
abrasive pads to clean the oven.
CLEANING:
Stainless Steel contains 70 – 80% iron,
which will rust if not properly maintained.
Stainless Steel also contains 12 – 30%
chromium, which forms an invisible
passive, protective film that shields
against corrosion.
DAILY:
1.
Unplug electrical power supply.
2.
Allow oven to go through cool-
down period before cleaning.
If the protective film remains intact, the
stainless steel will remain intact.
However, if the film is damaged, the
stainless steel can break down and rust.
3.
4.
Remove the Interior Side Racks
Take the Interior Side Racks to a
sink or dishwasher for a thorough
cleaning. Use a mild soap and
water solution to clean these
items.
PREVENTIVE CARE:
To prevent stainless steel break-
down, follow these steps:
5.
If necessary, clean the interior of
the oven with a damp cloth.
Wipe dry with a soft dry cloth.
1.
Never use any metal tools,
scrapers, files, wire brushes,
or scouring pads (except for
stainless steel scouring pads,)
which will mar the surface.

unsightly, but is not a sign of permanent
damage.
Never use acid-based or
chloride containing cleaning
solutions – which will break
down the protective film.
To remove heat tint, follow the routine
cleaning procedure. Stubborn heat tint
will require heavy-duty cleaning. To
reduce heat tint, limit the exposure of
equipment to excessive heat.
4.
5.
Never rub in a circular motion.
Always rub gently in the direction
of the steel grain.
Never leave any food products
or salt on the surface. Many
foods are acidic. Salt contains
chloride.
DOOR GASKET CARE
DOOR GASKET:
At least once a week, thoroughly check
the door gasket for damage/wear. A
damaged gasket can cause inefficient
and unsatisfactory operation of the
oven.
PRESERVING & RESTORING:
Special stainless steel polishing
cleaners can preserve and restore the
protective film.
If the gasket requires cleaning:
Preserve the life of stainless steel with a
regular application of a high-quality

COOKING
The cooking rack is simply placed inside
a standard 18” x 26” sheet tray (2/1
Gastronome) and the product which is
to be cooked and held is placed on top
of the cooking rack. When more than
one product is being prepared, the food
products should not be cramped
together onto one cooking rack.
Sufficient room should separate the
products on a single cooking rack to
insure proper circulation of air around
the product.

System. It should be used as a handy
reference when using your oven. The
guide has been developed to help
answer questions which you may have
relating to product preparation as well
as making you familiar with the
operation of your Cook & Hold Oven.
When using your oven, experiment with
your own house specialties. The degree
of doneness varies based upon
When loading the oven, an additional
18” x 26” sheet tray, in an inverted
position, (Fig. 5) should be placed
directly above the food product being
prepared. This creates the necessary
air flow pattern to produce highly
desirable carmelization and uniform
roasting of the product.
individual
preferences.
These
preferences can be easily accomplished
by varying the recommended time
guidelines in this manual.
The
guidelines which are presented in this
manual are suggested and have been
tested to insure product preparation as
indicated.
INVERTED SHEET TRAY
The concept of “Low Temperature
Cooking” is not a science, it is an art.
Chefs from around the world vary in
terms of the doneness and appearance
in the products which they prefer.
Therefore,
we
suggest
first
understanding what your Oven System
will do for the multitude of applications
available to you.
COOKING RACK
Fig. 5
Depending upon the size of the Cook &
Hold Oven, each unit is supplied with a
specially designed cooking rack(s). The
cooking rack must be used when
cooking food products to insure absolute
product quality and integrity.
A helpful hint when loading your food
product on the cooking rack is to either
line your 18” x 26” sheet tray with foil, or
spray with a quality vegetable oil. This
helps with easy clean up after use.

BAKERY PRODUCTS
The Cook & Hold Oven System is much
more than a prime rib oven. Unlike our
competitors, you can do a full range of
bakery products. By observing a few
simple rules, you can bake: cakes,
muffins, cookies, pies, breads, puff
pastry, and even beautiful (light as a
cloud) popovers and cream puffs.
Rotate pans, when product is
about ½ done, as you would with
any oven.
Baking time takes a little longer in the
Cook & Hold Oven, but the results are
worth the few minutes extra.
You are baking with about 6000
BTU’s compared to 60,000 to 80,000
BTU’s in a convection oven. During
the extra baking time, think about
how you want to invest your energy
savings.
For Bakery Products:
1.
2.
Pre-heat oven before baking.
Observe
proper
loading
procedures.
