Why use Profiles?

Roasting is similar to cooking, where a well-crafted recipe is vital for a successful dish. Your Profile acts as this recipe, detailing the ingredients and instructions needed for the perfect roast.

Profiles enable you to monitor and analyze each roast according to your specific roasting techniques.
