LOW TEMPERATURE
COOKING INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the cost saving convenience
of Low Temperature Cooking.
In 1968, Alto-Shaam invented the first
automatic, commercial cook and hold oven
featuring the principle of Halo Heat. The
heating method provided by Halo Heat low
temperature cooking and holding ovens
consists of an electric thermal cable that
encircles the entire cooking and holding
chamber. This creates a gentle blanket or
HALO of radiant heat — surrounding food
with a consistent and uniform temperature
with no air movement inside the oven
compartment. This gentle heating concept
cooks at low temperatures and at a high
level of humidity to preserve product
moisture, flavor, and nutrition. Halo Heat
ovens are designed to convert automatically
from a cooking temperature to a holding
temperature where the product can remain
until it is ready to be served.
(aging) action for more tender, flavorful
meat; and preserves natural juices along
with nutritional values in all foods. Halo
Heat cooking reduces energy cost, cuts back
on labor and handling, and solves kitchen
space problems. There is no mechanical
ventilation or oven hood necessary in most
areas so the ovens can be moved wherever
they are needed.
Read this booklet carefully. Halo Heat
is a cooking system that requires minimal
care once you have learned the basic
principles. For best results with many
products, we recommend you start your
cooking cycle the evening before — for
serving the next day. In many areas, off-
peak power rates are also lower at night.
If anything you cook in a Halo Heat
low temperature cooking and holding
oven doesn’t meet your highest standards
of quality, please contact one of our food
service professionals for help. Usually, only
a minor change in procedure is required.
Halo Heat is an entirely different system
of cooking. Utilizing this uniform heat
source, Halo Heat dramatically reduces

LOW TEMPERATURE COOKING FACTS
Low temperature cooking does not destroy these
MEAT AND NUTRITION
enzymes and, particularly in the hold cycle, creates this
natural chemical action to tenderize or age the meat right
in the oven. For this reason, it is important to use fresh
beef and it is essential to allow the product to remain
in the hold cycle for at least the minimum amount of
time suggested in the individual procedures. The longer
meat is left in the hold cycle the more tender it becomes,
making the purchase of more expensive, aged
Meat plays a significant role in the diet; therefore, one of
the primary goals in food preparation is proper nutrition.
Meat is one of the best sources of protein; is a rich source
of B vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin;
and includes fats, carbohydrates, minerals, pigments,
enzymes and water.
All of these elements are affected by cooking, but
over-heating destroys many of them. Low temperature
Halo Heat cooking helps preserve unstable, heat-
sensitive vitamins and nutrients.
meat unnecessary.
Meat is seventy to seventy-five percent water. High
temperatures cause this water to evaporate during
cooking resulting in loss of product moisture. Cooking
at low temperatures in a Halo Heat oven retains the
maximum amount of water content resulting in a juicier
finished product and an extended holding life.
A report on the Nutrient Analysis of Roast Beef,
conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Stout in July
1971, concluded, “
…it is apparent that Alto-Shaam
cooking method results in lower moisture losses. Even
after a 24 hour holding period, the Alto-Shaam product
is nutritionally equal to, and possibly better than beef
roast cooked in a conventional oven and removed
immediately after cooking.”
Along with better nutrition, a more tender finished
product, less shrinkage and higher moisture content,
meat will not require the addition of as much salt as
needed with conventional cooking methods. Natural
flavors are preserved. This is a significant factor in
today’s health conscious diets.
Fat contributes greatly to the flavor of meat. During
the cooking process, fat not only melts, but also changes
chemically. With low temperature cooking there is less
chemical change and less fat melt resulting in a more
flavorful finished product.
The enzymes found in meat break down the tissues
and act as natural tenderizing agents. A premium
price is paid for aged meats where this enzyme action
has already started, however; enzymes are destroyed by
high temperatures.

INTRODUCTION
LOW TEMPERATURE COOKING FACTS
SHRINKAGE CONTROL AND COOKING TIME
THERE ARE FOUR MAJOR FACTORS INVOLVED IN
DETERMINING COOKING TIMES FOR MEAT:
THERE ARE TWO MAJOR FACTORS CONTROLLING
MEAT SHRINKAGE OR COOKING LOSSES.
1. The degree of aging on the meat:
1. Temperature at which meat is cooked:
Aged meat will cook faster, shrink more, and has a
much shorter holding life than fresh meat.
The higher the temperature at which meat is cooked
the more shrinkage will result. Over-cooked meat
also results in higher losses. Higher temperatures
and over-cooking draws moisture to the surface and
this moisture evaporates or drips out of the meat.
2. Internal temperature before cooking:
Meat should be placed in a preheated oven directly
from a refrigerated temperature of 38° to 40°F
(3° to 4°C). Meat cooked from a frozen state will
require approximately one and one-half to two times
the normal cooking time. In addition, freezing
ruptures tissue cells creating additional moisture
loss during the cooking process and will result in
more shrinkage.
2. Internal temperature of the meat:
Like over-cooking, as meat is brought to a higher
internal temperature shrinkage is increased. For
these two reasons, it is suggested most cuts of red
meat be cooked at 250°F (121°C) and that all cooking
be based on internal product temperature. The use
of a thermometer is encouraged.
3. Desired degree of doneness:
The higher the degree of internal temperature
required, the longer the necessary cooking time.
Cooking times in this guideline are based on the
most popular internal product temperatures.
4. Quantity and quality of product.

STARTING WEIGHT (Weight of Raw Product)
-MINUS: ENDING WEIGHT (Weight of Cooked Product)
EQUALS: AMOUNT OF SHRINKAGE
AMOUNT OF SHRINKAGE (Total Weight Lost in Cooking)

0.05 = 5%
0.05 = 5%
45 2.0
SHRINKAGE DIVIDED BY
STARTING WEIGHT:
100 5.0
EQUALS: PERCENT OF SHRINKAGE
PREVENTING BACTERIA GROWTH
The surface of raw meat may become contaminated
in processing, handling by the butcher or chef, or by
other means. Food contamination can also be caused by
unsanitary personal hygiene and work habits, unclean
slicers, knives, and probes, or by faulty operational
procedures. It is important, therefore, that
sanitary procedures be followed at all times during
food preparation and handling. This is your main
protection in guarding against food contamination.
For additional information see the Cleaning and
Maintenance section of this manual.

INTRODUCTION
LOW TEMPERATURE COOKING FACTS
LABOR AND EQUIPMENT COST REDUCTION
Halo Heat ovens are easy to operate and maintain. After the raw product is placed in the oven and the controls are set,
there is no need to check, stir, or adjust the time or the temperature. Minimal time is spent attending the product during
cooking. This advantage, combined with the automatic conversion to the hold cycle, frees key personnel to concentrate
on other tasks including final product and presentation.
When cooking in a Halo Heat oven at a temperature of
250°F (121°C), outside venting and expensive exhaust
hoods are not necessary in most areas. Kitchens remain
cooler, lowering energy costs by reducing the exchange
of heated air. Because the ovens do not need outside
venting, they can be put almost anywhere — in the
corner of the kitchen, on a buffet line, or in a banquet
room. The ovens can also be built into a counter or to
save space, can be stacked in combination with another
Halo Heat oven or holding cabinet of the same or
similar dimensions.
Cooking at low temperatures also reduces cleaning time.
Most food does not normally carbonize or burn on the
interior of the oven.

OPERATING FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
Probe Usage:
To stop an operation at any time — Press and hold
the start Key until the control beeps for two seconds,
indicating the operation has been cancelled. The oven will
remain in a power-on state.
When the oven probe remains inserted in the probe
bracket, the LED temperature display will indicate the
ambient air temperature inside the oven. To use the probe
for cooking remove it from the bracket and wipe the full
length of the metal probe with a disposable alcohol pad to
clean and sanitize before using.
To turn oven control panel off — Press and hold the
on/off Key until the oven beeps. The On/Off indicator
light will go out.
Only the tip of the probe senses the internal product
temperature; therefore, it is important the tip be placed
correctly in the product for internal temperature accuracy.
Push the probe tip halfway into the product, positioning
the tip at the center of the food mass. When inserting
the probe into solid foods such as meat roast or poultry
breasts, push the probe in from a straight downward
position or in from the side to the center position. If
placing into a semi-liquid or liquid product, the probe
cable must be secured to keep the probe positioned
properly. Do not let the probe tip touch the edges, bottom
or side of a container. Tape the probe cable to the lip or
edge of the container.
Door open indicator — Display will flash “door” and
a triple beep will alert the user. Press On/Off key to
acknowledge error and disable triple beep.

DETERMINING IF PRODUCT IS
SUFFICIENTLY COOKED
Many of the procedures listed in the front section of this
guide can be adapted to the Alto-Shaam Smoker.
1. Insert a thermometer into the center of the product
to determine if the correct internal temperature
has been reached.
1. Follow the load capacities for the 750, 1000 and 1200
series ovens.
RED MEAT:
2. Follow the cooking and holding temperatures and
RARE: 130° to 135°F (54° to 57°C)
MEDIUM: 140° to 145°F (60° to 63°C)
WELL: 155° to 160°F (66° to 71°C)
times listed.
3. Set the Smoking Timer for the amount of smoke
flavor desired.
2. When following the procedures in the individual
product cooking instructions, additional cooking
time should not be necessary. If, however, the
required internal product temperature has not
been reached after the product has remained in
the HOLD cycle for the one hour minimum time
period, additional cooking time may be added.
Use the same COOK temperature set for the
original cooking cycle until the correct internal
temperature has been reached.
A. ONE-STEP COOKING:
After the COOK time is complete and the minimum
number of hours in the HOLD cycle have elapsed, the
product may remain ON HOLD until serving time.
B. TWO-STEP COOKING:
Remove product from the oven after the minimum
number of hours in the HOLD cycle. Chill product
quickly and prepare for refrigerated storage.
Refrigerated product can be sauced and finished on
a char-broiler, in a convection oven, a combination
oven/steamer or in a salamander for a la carte service.
This process takes between 8 and 15 minutes and
insures a tender, juicy and fresh tasting product.
When using cook/chill processing techniques,
products have an extended storage life of 5 days
which includes the day of preparation and the day of
service.

condensation will form on the inside of the
door during operation and may leak out of the
oven door vents. This is a normal operating
condition, however; any condensation spilling
on the floor should be periodically wiped as a
safety precaution. There is an External Drip
Tray included as standard with most ovens.
3. The cooking times in this guide are based on meat
taken directly from a refrigerated temperature
of 38° to 40°F (3.3° to 4.4°C), and placed in a
preheated oven. Adjustments must be made
for cooking products at other than refrigerated
temperatures.
13. Insert drip pan directly on the bottom surface of
the oven compartment.
14. Drip pan overflow is a condition caused
by cooking some cuts of beef to an internal
temperature in excess of 130°F (54°C). The
External Drip Tray will help alleviate some of
this overflow problem. There is also an extra
large drip pan available as an option for the
1000-TH series ovens.
4. Place the curved edge of the shelf toward the back
of the oven.
5. Adjust the inside door vents as indicated in the
individual cooking procedure selected.
6. It is recommended the oven door remain closed
during the cooking cycle. Opening the door will
only increase the length of time necessary to
cook the product.
15. Overflow may also be caused by overloading the
oven compartment. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE
OVEN. Follow the recommended load capacities
listed in each individual procedure.
7. Puncturing an item with any sharp instrument
may introduce bacteria inside the product.
Avoid using a fork to handle products, and
always use standard sanitary methods when
handling any food item.
16. For maximum product tenderizing
and to reduce labor during peak
preparation hours, overnight cook
and hold is highly recommended for
many products. Refer to individual
cooking instructions.
8. Use a thermometer to check the internal
temperature of a product. Be certain to sanitize
the thermometer before each use.
9. Aged meat will cook faster, shrink more, and
cannot be held as long as fresh meat. Because
of the tenderizing capabilities of the oven, aged
meat or tenderizing agents such as M.S.G. are
not necessary, and are not recommended.

internal product temperature desired for
the finished product and includes the one
hour time period while the oven decreases
from the cooking temperature to the holding
temperature and the product continues
to cook.

FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION
FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION
FOOD HOLDING - FUNCTION & VALUE
GENERAL HOLDING GUIDELINES
In the previous sections, cooking procedures in the
Halo Heat Low Temperature Cooking and Holding
Oven have been emphasized. If practical to the
individual food service operation, these ovens can
also be used without the cooking function to hold
foods at proper serving temperatures. Individual
holding cabinets can also be used to accomplish
this function.
Chefs, cooks and other specialized food service
personnel employ varied methods of cooking.
Proper holding temperatures for a specific food
product must be based on the moisture content of
the product, product density, volume, and proper
serving temperatures. Safe holding temperatures
must also be correlated with palatability in
determining the length of holding time for a
specific product.
Food production in most food service facilities
is accomplished in a variety of different cooking
equipment. Food quality can be easily lost between
the time a product is removed from an oven and the
time of direct service. Regardless of the method of
preparation, proper handling of food within this time
period is of critical importance to the food service
operator. Halo Heat hot food holding equipment
is able to support any type of food preparation by
extending the longest possible holding life for the
widest variety of products.
Halo Heat maintains the maximum amount of
product moisture content without the addition of
water, water vapor, or steam. Maintaining maximum
natural product moisture preserves the natural
flavor of the product and provides a more genuine
taste. In addition to product moisture retention, the
gentle properties of Halo Heat maintain a consistent
temperature throughout the cabinet without
the necessity of a heat distribution fan, thereby
preventing further moisture loss due to evaporation
or dehydration.
For maximum efficiency, hot food holding equipment
should be selected on the basis of the full range
of functions this equipment can provide to the
individual operation. For example, dough proofing,
bulk food holding for buffet service or other
situations and the transportation of hot foods are
some of the major functions of these cabinets
for multipurpose utility. When properly planned,
Halo Heat holding equipment can be a time
management aid, support the food service operation
by extending preparation times outside of peak
preparation hours, and provide a quality product in
prolonged holding situations.
In an enclosed holding environment, too much
moisture content is a condition which can be
relieved. A product achieving extremely high
temperatures in preparation must be allowed to
decrease in temperature before being placed in a
controlled holding atmosphere. If the product is
not allowed to decrease in temperature, excessive
condensation will form increasing the moisture
content on the outside of the product. To preserve
the safety and quality of freshly cooked foods
however, a maximum of 1 to 2 minutes must be the
only time period allowed for the initial heat to be
released from the product.
Consult an Alto-Shaam representative for
information on compatible holding equipment or
for recommendation on full systems tailored to meet
specific requirements.
Most Halo Heat holding equipment is provided
with a thermostat control between 60° and 200°F
(16° to 93°C). If the unit is equipped with vents,
close the vents for moist holding and open the vents
for crisp holding.

FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION
FOOD HOLDING AND SANITATION
Food flavor and aroma are usually so closely
related that it is difficult, if not impossible,
to separate them. There is also an important,
inseparable relationship between cleanliness
and food flavor. Cleanliness, top operating
efficiency, and appearance of equipment contribute
considerably to savory, appetizing foods.
Good equipment that is kept clean, works
better and lasts longer.
The most accurate method of measuring safe
temperatures of both hot and cold foods is
by internal product temperature. A quality
thermometer is an effective tool for this purpose,
and should be routinely used on all products that
require holding at a specific temperature.
A comprehensive sanitation program should
focus on the training of staff in basic sanitation
procedures. This includes personal hygiene,
proper handling of raw foods, cooking to a safe
internal product temperature, and the routine
monitoring of internal temperatures from receiving
through service.
Most food imparts its own particular aroma
and many foods also absorb existing odors.
Unfortunately, during this absorption there is
no distinction between GOOD and BAD odors.
The majority of objectionable flavors and odors
troubling food service operations are caused by
bacteria growth. Sourness, rancidity, mustiness,
stale or other OFF flavors are usually the result of
germ activity.
Most food-borne illnesses can be prevented
through proper temperature control and a
comprehensive program of sanitation. Both these
factors are important to build quality service as
the foundation of customer satisfaction. Safe food
handling practices to prevent food-borne illness is
of critical importance to the health and safety of
your customers.
The easiest way to insure full, natural food flavor
is through comprehensive cleanliness. This means
good control of both visible soil (dirt) and invisible
soil (germs). A thorough approach to sanitation
will provide essential cleanliness. It will assure
an attractive appearance of equipment, along with
maximum efficiency and utility. More importantly,
a good sanitation program provides one of the key
elements in the prevention of food-borne illnesses.
HACCP, an acronym for Hazard Analysis (at)
Critical Control Points, is a quality control program
of operating procedures to assure food integrity,
quality, and safety. Taking steps necessary to
augment food safety practices is both cost effective
and relatively simple. While HACCP guidelines
go far beyond the scope of this manual, additional
information is available by contacting:
A controlled holding environment for prepared
foods is just one of the important factors involved
in the prevention of food-borne illnesses.
Temperature monitoring and control during
receiving, storage, preparation, and the service of
foods are of equal importance.

FOOD SAFETY GUIDELIES
Safe food handling practices to prevent food-borne
illness is of critical importance to the health and
safety of your customers. HACCP, an acronym for
Hazard Analysis (at) Critical Control Points, is a
quality control program of operating procedures to
assure food integrity, quality, and safety. Taking
steps necessary to augment food safety practices
are both cost effective and relatively simple. While
HACCP guidelines go far beyond the scope of
this booklet, additional information is available
by contacting the USDA/FDA Food-borne Illness
Education Information Center.
All heated food must be maintained at 140°F to
150°F (60°C to 65°C) after being heated. Foods
that have been heated followed by refrigerated
storage must be reheated to a minimum of 165°F
(74°C) to prevent bacteria growth.
• All stored food items must be covered and placed
in a cooler or freezer at a minimum height of
6-inches (152mm) above the floor.
• Employees serving food, preparing food, or washing
utensils must wear an effective hair covering.
• Employees must wash their hands before serving
or preparing food.
• Soap and towels must be provided at the hand-sink
which must only be used for washing hands.
• No smoking or use of tobacco products is allowed
in the food preparation or service area.
SUMMARY
• All serving containers must be stored with food
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration
has a published Food Code as a reference guide for the
prevention of food-borne illness in retail outlets such as
restaurants, institutions and grocery stores. Provisions
of this Food Code are compatible with the concept and
terminology of Hazard Analysis (at) Critical Control
Points (HACCP) and contains expanded provisions for
food safety. The FDA publication, along with local
codes, should be the final word with regard to all issues
regarding food safety and sanitation in the U.S. For more
information contact:
contact surfaces covered or in the down position.
• All utensils must be washed in a three-
compartment sink and dipped in a final sanitation
rinse. A pH test kit must be used to check the
rinse water.
• Food preparation surfaces must not be used for
the storage of non-food items.
• All cold food must be stored at or below 40°F (4°C).
• Frozen foods must not be thawed at room
temperature nor in water. Use the cooler for
thawing and thaw foods slowly.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
PROTECTING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
CLEANING AGENTS
It is important to guard against corrosion
in the care of stainless steel
Use non-abrasive cleaning products designed for
use on stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents
must be chloride-free compounds and must not
contain quaternary salts. Never use hydrochloric
acid (muriatic acid) on stainless steel surfaces.
Always use the proper cleaning agent at the
manufacturer's recommended strength.
surfaces. Harsh, corrosive,
or inappropriate chemicals
can completely destroy the
protective surface layer
of stainless steel. Abrasive
pads, steel wool, or metal implements will abrade
surfaces causing damage to this protective coating
and will eventually result in areas of corrosion.
Even water, particularly hard water that contains
high to moderate concentrations of chloride, will
cause oxidation and pitting that result in rust
and corrosion. In addition, many acidic foods
spilled and left to remain on metal surfaces are
contributing factors that will corrode surfaces.
Contact your local cleaning supplier for
product recommendations.
CLEANING MATERIALS
The cleaning function can usually be accomplished
with the proper cleaning agent and a soft, clean
cloth. When more aggressive methods must be
employed, use a non-abrasive scouring pad on
difficult areas and make certain to scrub with the
visible grain of surface metal to avoid surface
scratches. Never use wire brushes, metal scouring
pads, or scrapers to remove food residue.
Proper cleaning agents, materials, and
methods are vital to maintaining the appearance
and life of this appliance. Spilled foods should be
removed and the area wiped as soon as possible
but at the very least, a minimum of once a day.
Always thoroughly rinse surfaces after using a
cleaning agent and wipe standing water as quickly
as possible after rinsing.
CAUTION
TO PROTECT STAINLESS STEEL
SURFACES, COMPLETELY AVOID
THE USE OF ABRASIVE CLEANING
COMPOUNDS, CHLORIDE BASED
CLEANERS, OR CLEANERS
CONTAINING QUATERNARY SALTS.
NEVER USE HYDROCHLORIC ACID
(MURIATIC ACID) ON STAINLESS
STEEL. NEVER USE WIRE
BRUSHES, METAL SCOURING
PADS OR SCRAPERS.
DANGER
DISCONNECT UNIT FROM
POWER SOURCE BEFORE
CLEANING OR SERVICING.
DAILY PRONG CLEANING
To ensure accurate internal product temperature readings the prongs on the
removable probe must be cleaned daily.
1. Remove all food debris from prongs at the end of each production shift.
Wipe the entire prong casing, and between each prong with a clean
cloth and warm detergent solution.
2. Remove detergent by wiping with a cloth and clean rinse water.
3. Allow prongs to air dry before replacing detachable probe.

FINAL INTERNAL
TEMPERATURE
ADDL INFO.
The time and temperature are suggested guidelines only. All cooking should be based on internal product temperatures. Due to
variations in product quality, weight and desired degree of doneness, the cooking timer may need to be adjusted accordingly. Always
follow local health (hygiene) regulations for all internal temperature requirements.
*TWO-STEP FRIED CHICKEN
The two-step method consists of precooking the chicken in a low temperature oven to retain the product moisture, then adding the crisp, fried appearance
by inserting the product in a fryer for a very short period of time. This method can be used with product directly from the oven or the product can be
precooked and fried directly from refrigerated storage. With the two-step method the chicken will be moist, flavorful, plump and golden brown. Shrinkage
will be low and shortening in the fryer will last much longer.
FRYING DIRECTLY FROM THE OVEN
1. Preheat fryer to 335°F (168°C).
FRYING FROM REFRIGERATED STORAGE
1. Remove chicken from the Alto-Shaam Halo Heat oven, wrap, chill
rapidly and store under refrigeration at 38° to 40°F (3° to 4°C).
2. Preheat fryer to 335°F (168°C).
2. If heavier or crisper breading is desired, remove required portion of
chicken from the oven and dredge in fresh breading.
3. Drop chicken in fryer for three minutes or until chicken is golden brown.
4. Chicken can be fried per customer order or in larger quantities. When
frying larger quantities, place fried pieces on a sheet pan with wire grid
insert and place pans in a preheated Alto-Shaam display case or in a
preheated holding cabinet with door vents fully open.
3. Remove required portion of precooked chicken from
refrigerated storage.
4. Drop chicken in fryer for 6 to 7 minutes or until chicken is
golden brown.

SMOKING PROCEDURE
PRODUCT >
COLD SMOKED SALMON
OVEN MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE
BEGINNING THE COLD SMOKE PROCEDURE.
ITEM/AMOUNT
INSTRUCTIONS
SAUMON FUME: Fresh Salmon Fillets 2-1/2 to 4 lb
(1 to 2 kg) each
Soak wood chips in water according to directions
(5-15 minutes), fill wood chip container full and insert
in chip holder located at the back of the oven.
INGREDIENTS REQUIRED
Fresh Salmon Fillets or Sides
Sea Salt: Large Crystals
Granulated or Raw Sugar
Fill pan with ice and locate pan in shelf position
number 7 (just above wood chip container).
SUPPLIES REQUIRED
Clear Plastic Wrap
Paper Toweling
Wire Mesh Grids
Digital Thermocouple Thermometer
(to monitor internal product temperature)
Tweezers
Place prepared salmon fillets on a wire grid as
indicated on the diagram and insert wire grid on oven
shelf beginning with the top shelf position.
Insert probe of thermocouple thermometer into the
center of the middle salmon fillet located in the top
shelf position or central shelf position when smoking
a full load. To maintain proper color, the internal
temperature of the salmon must not exceed 77°F
(25°C). For this reason, it is important to begin the
smoking process with the oven at room temperature.
Ice: 3 to 4 lb (1 to 2 kg)
PREPARATION
Remove bones from fillets with a tweezers to
avoid rupturing tissue.
SALTING
50% Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
50% Granulated or Brown Sugar (for richer
color)
Make certain oven vents are closed. Close oven door
and set smoke time from 10 to 20 minutes depending
on taste preference. When the smoke timer cycles to
the OFF position, the fillets must remain in the oven
for a period of 1-2 hours. Do not open the oven door
during this period.
To remove moisture from the raw salmon,
blend salt and sugar mixture thoroughly and
pack firmly around each fillet. Cover salt-filled
pans with clear plastic wrap and refrigerate for
24 hours. Following the 24 hour refrigeration
period, remove fillets from salt/sugar mixture
and rinse thoroughly under cold, running water.
Pat dry with paper toweling. Place fillets side-
by-side on a sheet pan and return, uncovered,
to the refrigerator for a period of 1-6 hours for
the final drying period.
Following the required oven time, remove the fillets,
cover with clear plastic wrap and refrigerate until
fully chilled.
