Poultry
▯ The humidity for combination operation prevents
drying out, which is essential with poultry. At the same
time, thanks to the high temperature, the surface gets
crispy and brown. The hot steam has twice as much
ability to transfer heat as conventional convection and
reaches all parts of the food. Therefore, a chicken is
browned evenly and gets crispy, yet the breast meat
remains tender and juicy.
▯ The cooking times specified should be regarded as
guidelines and depend heavily on the initial
temperature of the food and the food cooked. For
better results, use the core temperature sensor. Do
not place it in the middle (hollow space), but rather
into the chicken breast. For notes and optimal target
temperatures, see chapter~ "Core temperature
probe" on page 30.
▯ If you season poultry primarily with spices and with
little or no oil, the skin gets crispier.

Cook breast side down. After half the
cooking time, turn the duck. This way,
the delicate breast meat will not dry out
so much.
