CVAP Holding Drawers

[Anonymous Modernist 5339]

The book mentions that there are no cvap ovens that let you directly control wet bulb and dry bulb temperature. The holding drawers have aseparatefood temp and air temp dial that is set in degreesfahrenheit. I would imagine that these correspond to wet bulb and dry bulb temp. My question is, which is which?

[MikeMac]

Is there a place to plug in a probe? Maybe food temp is designed to work off a probe inserted into the food itself and the air temp would be the if you just wanted to set a holding temp for the drawer.

Food temperature is wet bulb, air temp is dry bulb.

Thank you for your clarification .

Just so I understand

"wet bulb" is the actual food temp which would be shown through a probe inserted into the product?

and

"dry bulb" is the temperature the oven is operating at?

[Anonymous Modernist 310]

From what I understand Wet bulb temperature is the temperature at the surface of the food cooled by evaporation. It will be lower than the dry bulb until your surface is dry. (No evaporation) The probe temperature should be lower than the wet bulb most of the time. (Until there is equilibrium!)

Hope that help a bit
