Winston CVap® cook &hold:
The Other Brain in the Kitchen

The CVap® cook & hold is quickly becoming the performance standard for cook & hold ovens, steamers, holding cabinets and retherm cabinets. It has a patented dual heat system that cooks food to a precise, uniform temperature. A chef can recreate classical techniques as well as innovative cooking methods like low–temperature cooking and sous vide application in both savory and sweet preparations. The patented CVap technology uses low–temperature vapor cooking to optimize food quality, reduce shrinkage and produce higher yields. The CVap cook & hold also follows FDA regulations to ensure food is delicious and moist, but also safe; food cannot cook at low temperatures for long periods of time without a holding period. Thaw, poach, braise, steam, roast and more — the CVap cook & hold performs almost every technique and out performs all other cook & hold ovens.

CVap® Technology
Only by Winston Industries

Winston CVap cook & holdThe CVap® cook & hold is a single oven which independently controls the temperature of the water in the evaporator and the temperature of the air in the cabinet using CVap (controlled vapor) technology. Since food is mostly made up of water, controlling food quality is dependent upon the control of food moisture. The oven controls evaporation by producing a vapor–laden environment that completely surrounds the food with moisture, creating an opposing vapor pressure that prevents the food from losing or gaining moisture. Independent control of air temperature controls the texture, or crispness of your food product and independent control of water temperature matches the vapor temperature of the cabinet with that of the food being held, thus creating an ideal environment for maintaining food temperature over extended holding periods.
Easy to Use Instructions
1. Set desired doneness temperature (90°–200°F)
2. Set browning level (1–10)
3. Set time (allows you to program up to a 24–hour period)
