Beef Cooking Systems
IMP designs thermal processing systems for fully cooked beef products including ovens, grills, sous vide, and multi-zone cooking that deliver food safety validation, consistent quality, and efficient throughput for retail and foodservice markets.
Beef Cooking Applications
Product Types
Fully Cooked Beef Patties
Ready-to-eat burgers and patties for retail and institutional foodservice with validated lethality and extended shelf life under refrigeration.
Beef Meatballs & Meatloaf
Formed beef products requiring uniform internal temperature achievement for food safety and consistent texture across production batches.
Roasted Beef Products
Whole-muscle beef roasts and deli meats with controlled cooking for precise doneness, moisture retention, and slicing characteristics.
Sous Vide Beef
Vacuum-sealed beef cuts with precise low-temperature cooking for premium texture, moisture retention, and extended refrigerated shelf life.
Cooking Technologies
Continuous Ovens
Multi-zone convection, impingement, or combination ovens with precise temperature control and product tracking for regulatory compliance.
Steam Cooking
Steam injection or atmospheric steam cooking for moisture retention and gentle heat application in delicate beef products.
Grilling Systems
Linear grill marks and surface browning for visual appeal and flavor development in fully cooked beef burgers and patties.
Sous Vide Baths
Immersion circulation systems with precise temperature control for premium beef applications requiring validated time-temperature combinations.
Key Design Considerations
Food Safety & Validation
- •USDA and CFIA lethality requirements for beef products
- •Time-temperature monitoring and automated data logging
- •Process validation and scheduled cook study requirements
- •Product core temperature measurement and verification
- •Post-lethality handling to prevent recontamination
Quality & Efficiency
- •Consistent internal temperature and moisture retention targets
- •Cooking yield optimization and shrinkage minimization
- •Energy efficiency and heat recovery integration
- •Appearance, color, and flavor profile consistency
- •Throughput capacity and production scheduling flexibility
