(Specification)Standard Specification for Slow Cook/Hold Ovens and Hot Food Holding Cabinets
Standard Specification for Slow Cook/Hold Ovens and Hot Food Holding Cabinets
ABSTRACT
This specification covers commercial electric slow cook/hold ovens and hot food holding cabinets which are classified by capacity, type (Type I and Type II), style (Style 1, Style 2, and Style 3, each of Class A and Class B), and electrical class (Class 1, Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, Class 5, and Class 6). The cook/hold ovens and hot food holding cabinets shall consist of an oven cavity, sealing type of door(s), heating elements/heating coil, oven racks for physically supporting the steam/sheet pans, and provision to limit condensate/grease drippings on the floor or tabletop surface. The ovens may include a door sensing mechanism, vents, product probe, grease collection pan, and product monitoring system. The physical requirements for doors, heating system, control functions, and accessories are specified. Hardware and fittings as well as threaded parts shall conform to the specified material requirements. The cook/hold ovens and hot food holding cabinets shall pass the performance test.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers commercial electric slow cook/hold ovens and hot food holding cabinets.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 8, of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.

3. Terminology
3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 cook function, n—an operating mode for the cook/hold oven only. The cook function requires the ability to set a cooking
temperature (200 to 325°F) at which the product is cooked. This function is completed at a preset time or when the product is
cooked to a preset internal product temperature, measured with a product probe.
3.1.2 cook/hold oven, n—a device that can cook food products using natural convective hot air (without a circulating fan or
blower). The cook/hold ovens have a typical maximum operating temperature of 325°F. These ovens automatically switch the
operating mode from cook to a hold function at the completion of the cook function. The cook and hold functions are defined in
3.1.1 and 3.1.4, respectively.
This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F26 on Food Service Equipment and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F26.02 on Cooking
and Warming Equipment.

3.1.3 hot food holding cabinet (food warmer), n—a device that can hold precooked food products to preset product holding
temperatures. In general, hot food holding cabinet is a device by itself and has a typical maximum operating temperature of 200°F.
3.1.4 hold function, n—an operating mode for the cook/hold oven and also the main function of the hot food holding cabinet.
The hold function allows holding a precooked product above a safe holding temperature as defined by the NSF guidelines
(ANSI/NSF 4). In the case of cook/hold oven, the oven is switched to the hold mode automatically after the cook function is
completed. The hold function is always the default mode and remains active as long as electrical power to the cook/hold oven or
hot food holding cabinet is ON.
3.1.5 oven cavity, n—portion or area of the oven in which food products are heated or cooked.
3.1.6 pans, n—containers used to hold the food product in the oven cavity: (1) a full-size bake or sheet pan is nominally 18 by
26 by 1 in. (457 by 660 by 25 mm), (2) a half -size bake or sheet pan is nominally 18 by 13 by 1 in. (305 by 508 by 25 mm),
and (3) a steam pan is nominally 12 by 20 by 2.5 in. (305 by 508 by 64 mm).
3.1.7 product monitoring system, n—the cook function of the cook/hold oven is monitored for operating parameters such as
starting and ending cook time, oven temperature, internal product temperature. Similarly, the hold function of the cook/hold oven
and hot food holding cabinet is monitored for starting time and ending time of hold function, starting and ending oven and internal
product temperature. The product monitoring system should at a very minimum be capable of providing the above-mentioned
information, if specified.
3.1.8 product probe, n—a temperature sensing device supplied with cook/hold oven or hot food holding cabinet. The product
probe measures the internal temperature of the food product that is cooked or held warm. The product probe may be used to control
heat supplied to the oven.
4. Classification
4.1 Cook/hold ovens and hot food holding cabinets covered by this specification are classified by capacity, type, style and
electrical class.
4.2 Capacity—The capacity of the cook/hold oven and hot food holding cabinet is determined by the number of bake or sheet
pans, steam table pans, or a combination thereof that the oven is designed for cooking or holding. For capacity classification, the
minimum vertical clearance between rows of pans shall be as follows: bake or sheet pans, 1 in. (25 mm); steam pans, 2.5 in. (64
mm).
4.3 Type:
4.3.1 Type 1—Cook/hold oven.
4.3.2 Type 2—Hot food holding cabinet.
4.4 Style:
4.4.1 Style 1—Table or countertop units.
4.4.1.1 Class A—Half-size single cavity construction; minimum steam pans: 3.
4.4.1.2 Class B—Full-size single cavity construction; minimum full size bake or sheet pans: 6.
4.4.2 Style 2—Floor standing units.
4.4.2.1 Class A—Full-size single compartment, single control; minimum half size bake or sheet pans: 16.

4.4.3 Style 3—Roll-in/mobile units.
4.4.3.1 Class A—Roll-in units; minimum full-size bake or sheet pans: 8.
4.4.3.2 Class B—Mobile units; minimum steam pans: 16.
4.4.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the styles that may be available, but it provides an overview of the most
