Buying A Combination Oven? Why Buy New?

General

combi ovens

Every professional kitchen will have a microwave combination oven. A domestic microwave oven is certainly no match for the job, this is serious cooking equipment for serious professional kitchens.

We have all used our home microwaves to cook beans, and re-heat food and here we are comparing chalk to cheese. Professional kitchens and of course professional kitchen equipment is a far cry from the cheap microwave combination ovens you might pick up from your local electrical store.

Designed to deliver years of professional use and with the ability to cook food much quicker (around 4 times ) than conventional ovens, they are an incredible asset to the professional caterer where consistent fast throughput is very important. Every successful restaurant will seek to deliver consistent high quality food and fast.

Typically pushing out 3000 Watts professional combination ovens will dramatically reduce cooking time, whilst it bakes roasts and browns.

Features To Look For

  • Stainless Steel Body
  • Premium Brand
  • Large Capacity
  • Power Rating
  • Viewing Window
  • Easy Cleaning
  • User Friendly Programming and Controls

With the output and work rate of professional kitchen equipment it is of huge benefit to buy branded premium catering equipment. It’s a tough environment and buying cheap catering equipment can be a false economy. The cost of buying new combination ovens can be prohibitive. Professionally reconditioned combination ovens can deliver the premium equipment without the premium price.

The ability to use convection power and microwave power in sequence really steps up the cooking game. Large quantities of food cooked to perfection, and in quick succession, requires quality catering equipment! Many, if not all the major combination oven manufacturers have extremely simple multiple programming options enabling the chef to literally push a button and deliver consistent quality at a consistent rate every time.

How To Make Juicy Steaks With Coleman Grill

General

You must be excited in welcoming a new addition to your collection of cooking equipments. The Coleman grill and Coleman propane heater are indeed such great partners for outdoor cooking. But even top-of-the-line equipments can only be as good as the one using them. It will also require some knowledge and skills on the part of the griller in order to whip out juicy and mouthwatering steaks. So to help you wow your family and friends with your kitchen skills, here are some guides that can help you whip out a steak that is to die for.

Fresh And Young Meat Is Always Tender

It all starts in selecting the best quality meat. Whether you are going for beef or pork, you should always opt for young and fresh meat. Only with these can you really make a tender steak that melts in the mouth. You should always avoid meat cuts from an old animal because these tend to be rubbery and difficult to chew. And when it comes to selecting the best parts, the tenderloin and spareribs are always an all-time favorite and they make for a great steak.

The Marinade Is The Key To Taste

Even the most tender and freshest meat will not make for a mouthwatering steak if not treated with marinade. This is the key to the juicy and delicious flavor of any good steak. And this is not even difficult to accomplish. There are now a wide variety of commercial steak marinades that you can purchase. But whether you opt for homemade or commercial marinade, always allow enough time for the meat to absorb the flavor. About 30 minutes to one hour of marinating should be sufficient enough but overnight marinating is more advisable.

Keep Those Steaks Moist While Cooking

While the steak is grilling under high heat, the moisture will gradually drain from it, and together with those are important flavors and juices. This will also dry the crust of the steak and cause it cook faster than the core. To avoid this, you should occasionally brush the steak meat with marinade sauce and butter while grilling. This will keep the precious moisture locked in and ensure a juicy and flavor-rich steak.

Cook It Slow And Nice

Another way to make sure that the steak turns out juicy and tender is to cook it slowly under low heat. If you subject the meat to high intensity heat, only the outer part will cook well but the core will be raw. This is especially true for thicker cuts of steak. By grilling slow and nice, you are also preventing the juices in the steak from escaping. This will also allow a longer time of exposure to the smoke, which will add an aromatic smoked flavor to the steak. So when grilling, it is advisable to set your Coleman Grill or Coleman propane heater at low heat.

Put Holes On That Chunk Of Meat

Taking things slowly is the key to making an evenly cooked steak, but there are other methods that you can use to ensure this. One good example is to skewer the meat with knife or thongs and put several holes on it. This will allow the heat to penetrate into the meat and also allow the marinade to sink deeper.

Now with these simple tips and a Coleman Grill and Coleman propane heater at your disposal, there is nothing anymore that will stop you from making a delicious and juicy steak. That outdoor cookout party will be a feast to remember.
