Cook /Chill Systems
Cook ChillOverview
COOK CHILL FOOD PRODUCTION is a process of cooking food to a "just done state", packaging in tough oxygen impervious casing at pasteurization temperature, and then rapid chilling to 40°F in less than one hour. This enables the "Fresh Product", which has not suffered structural degradation via freezingor high temperature canning to be stored in a refrigerated Food Bank for up to 45 days (depending onproduct).
The product can then be:A/ Rethermalized in its' original casings or in pans at the production location.B/ Transported cold to satellite locations to reheat and serve in its' original casings or in pans.
With the addition of ancillary support equipment (including conventional production and refrigeration equipment) afully integrated, synergistic, operational advanced food production system is ensured.
COOK CHILL PRODUCTION ADVANTAGESThe main difference between Cook Chill and Cook Serve operations is that Cook Chill production fills an inventory or"Food Bank" for future use, and Cook Serve is intended for immediate use.
• Having a pre-stocked inventory eliminates the peaks and valleys associated with Cook Serve operations.
• Production time is reduced by approximately 45%. Menu items for a seven day around the clock facility can now be produced in five/eight hour shifts per week.
• Production can be centralized for operations where food is distributed to off-site locations.
• Space allocation for production is usually reduced by employing high volume equipment.
• Quality and consistency of the finished product is improved by the use of controlled production techniques.
CONCLUSIONCook Chill is not a mystical cooking system. Virtually every step in conventional food production is repeatedduring the Cook Chill cooking cycle with exacting standards. The key elements are controlled cooking and rapid chilling of the product thus eliminating degradation to food quality caused by high temperature holding orfreezing.
The result of a Cook Chill system is consistent food quality, with optimal color, texture, moisture content and nutritional value.
Cook Chill Food Preparation offers flexibility for a wide array of menu styles. Basically any stylemenu, excluding short-order grilled foods, can beproduced and served in a Cook Chill System. Due to efficiencies in production and a chilled inventory, a wider variety of daily choices can be made available to clients with both cycle and restaurant style menus.
Food quality can actually beimproved with conversion to aCook Chill System.
With conventional systems, food is subject to high temperaturesfor long periods of time resulting in a loss of moisture, color and texture. Consequently, quality atthe point of service issignificantly compromised andoften inconsistent.
With a Cook Chill System, theopportunity exists to serveconsistently high quality foodproducts by:
1. Standardization of recipes and batch preparation of products.
2. Cooking only to desireddoneness and rapidly chilling to stop the cooking process.
3. Rethermalization of products prior to service, avoiding hot holding forextended periods of time.
Cook Tank Products
Because the meat is cookedslowly, at a low temperature, even the least tender items are made tender. There is an average of 25% less shrinkagedue to no evaporative and drip loss producing a more juicyproduct.
The cooking skill required is in recipe development and determining sauces, etc.. This type of cooking is a controlled, even, slow, water bath method, with no danger of over-cooking. The cook does not have to remember to turn the pan, take the product out of the oven or determine doneness. This means the"guesswork" is taken out of the process, which results in fewer mistakes and less waste.
After the meat is cooked and chilled it is still protected bythe casing and therefore as it is held in the very lowtemperature refrigerator it does not lose or change flavorand it maintains its' high quality.
Cook Tank items are usually thought of as meat items only.

Planning & Food Preparation
Cooking, Packaging & Chilling
Storage & Rethermalization
1. Central Planning/ SchedulingTo suit the operators volume and menu requirements, Cook Chill products are
prepared to fill an inventory or food bank well in advance of serving.Production for a seven day around the clock facility is normally handled in
five/eight hour shifts per week instead of the usual seven/twelve hour shifts per week. Skilled and unskilled labor is more efficiently utilized.
Recipes are standardized for batch preparation guaranteeing consistent high quality food product with optimal color, texture, moisture content and nutritional value.
2. Bulk Purchasing & Pre-PrepVolume purchasing and receiving dramatically reduces ingredient and
handling costs, and allows for a five day receiving schedule.As per scheduled recipes, ingredients are centrally prepared in advance.Ingredient quality and recipe consistency are maintained to extremely high
standards.
4. Non Pumpable Food PreparationCook Chill Tanks are designed for water bath cooking of vacuum packaged
meats, and other packaged food items.Low temperature cooking reduces shrinkage, increases tenderness and
retains natural juices and flavor.Upon reaching the desired temperature, hot water is automatically
exchanged for ice water, efficiently reducing food temperature below 40°F inthe fastest possible time. Programmable Time/Temperature controls allow for unattended overnight cooking.
5. Transfer & PackagingProduct Metering Filling Stations pump the cooked foods while still hot
(180°F), from Mixer Kettles and accurately meter them into flexible casings. The clipper and label dispenser are conveniently mounted on the cross bar
allowing the operator to seal, label and trim the filled casing in one swift motion.
The air operated piston pump has infinitely variable volume adjustment and a 2" delivery system allowing the pumping of virtually any product that will flow.
6. Tumble ChillingThe Tumble Chiller rapidly reduces the temperature of the filled casings with
a gentle tumble action in recirculating potable chilled water without productdamage.
The casings are loaded through an entry chute by hand or conveyor. Fully automated controls assure correct chilling in the fastest possible time for maximum refrigerated storage life.
Blast Chillers are also available to provide chilling for short term storage of products not compatible with water bath chilling methods.
7. Refrigerated StorageThe prepared and chilled foods are safely stored in low temperature walk-in
refrigerators at a temperature of 28°F to 32°F.Cook Chill food preparation allows for a safe refrigerated storage life of up to
45 days (depending on product). Menu items are now available for use on site,or to be shipped via refrigerated trucks or holding cabinets to remote serving points or satellite locations.
Not freezing the foods boasts many benefits; dramatic energy savings, thefreshly prepared qualities of food are maintained, and the nutritional attributes of food are not lost.
8. Rethermalization & ServingA wide variety of methods and equipment are available to heat the
preprepared food to a safe serving temperature.Convection Steamers, Kettles, Combination Steamer/Ovens, Tilting Skillets
and other conventional cooking equipment can be used to finish the product.Kettles and Skillets are used for hot water bath heating of multiple casings.
Convection Steamers and Combination Steamer/Ovens can be used for heating multiple casings or product emptied on to 2 1/2" solid pans.
3. Pumpable Food Preparation Cook Chill steam jacketed Kettles are designed and equipped for cooking a
variety of pumpable food products with qualities ranging from chunky to smooth.Horizontal, Vertical (Sweep Fold®), and Inclined Mixer Kettles are available for
mixing ingredients, maintaining product consistency and eliminatingburning/scorching.
Temperature controls, temperature chart recorders and automatic water cooling ensure the product is consistently cooked and cooled to your specifications.
