Cooked Meats: Items like roasted chicken, grilled steak, or smoked brisket can be held in a CVap oven or holding cabinet to maintain their temperature and prevent them from drying out or overcooking.
Soups and Stews: Liquid-based dishes such as soups, stews, and chili can be held to keep them at a safe serving temperature. Because CVap technology is based on heated water vapor, CVap excels at holding moist foods.
Fried Foods: Fried items like chicken tenders, fries, and onion rings can be held to stay crispy while maintaining their internal temperature. Because crispy foods are typically held at higher temperatures (around 180°F), they often have shorter holding times than more moist foods. It’s important to monitor these products and follow your organization’s quality guidelines on when food should be discarded.
Pasta Dishes: Many pasta dishes with sauces can be held hot and ready for service.
Vegetables: Steamed or roasted vegetables can be held in a CVap to keep them hot without overcooking.
Grains: Rice, quinoa, and other grains can be held hot to maintain their texture.
Casseroles: Baked dishes like lasagna or casseroles can be held hot and ready for serving. Like soups, casseroles’ moist texture is ideal for holding in a CVap.
Breads, Rolls, and Other Baked Goods: CVap ovens and holding cabinets have a proofing setting, making them perfect for both proofing and holding bread, rolls, and other baked goods at a consistent temperature.
