al pase

Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary
From a recipe for lemon sorbet (Spain):

[cooking instructions]
Colamos y congelamos.
Turbinamos en Pacojet AL PASE.
Acabado y presentación
Disponemos la gelatina en el centro del plato, vamos componiendo con el resto de los elementos y terminamos con el helado.

I'm wondering if this might mean "before serving" or "before assembly," as in "in the pass."

Thanks in advance!

in the pass / before serving I never got a satisfactory answer from the client, but I'm posting the above as the glossary entries, as I feel they could be helpful to others. Thanks for your help, everyone! (And sorry for the delay in grading. That job almost got the best of me and put me behind for the next several months.)

Context This is part of a recipe. The only thing that comes before are the ingredients and other preparation instructions:

Cocemos en la Thermomix el limón con el agua y el azúcar a 85º, 7 minutos a velocidad 5; incorporamos el resto de los ingredientes y turbinamos a máxima velocidad.

More context Hello Nedra. It might be worth publishing more context. It could be referring to a processing mode or, as you said, to the timing.

in the pass / serving area

The pass, for anyone unfamiliar with the jargon, is chef-speak for the serving area on to which chefs pass their dishes from kitchen to restaurant under the watchful eye of the head chef. At The Pass, customers sit on a raised platform overlooking the kitchen, and for a closer view they can also watch the chefs on television screens, too.

‘The pass’
It’s the area where the assembling and final plating take place before
the plates leave the kitchen and land on your table.

This section of the book contained instructions to use all sort of miraculous machines I'm sure every modern domestic cook has in their kitchen! As you might have been able to glean, I think the recipes were more for show than actual instructions. Thanks for the reference.

Thank, Jairo. I noticed this type of reference in my travels, which is what led me to think "before serving" might be best. See my comments in the discussion section.
