Takeaway Expo 2016: Experience the smallest RATIONAL unit of all time – the SelfCookingCenter® XS

By James Russell: Takeaway Expo 2016: Experience the smallest RATIONAL unit of all time – the SelfCookingCenter® XS

September 27, 2016

At this year’s Takeaway Expo exhibition, visitors will see the NEW SelfCookingCenter® XS in the 6 x 2/3 GN unit size. Rational CookingLive demonstrations are taking place on stand 532, 27-28 September 2016, ExCel, London.

The SelfCookingCenter® XS, which offers full Rational power and intelligence despite its minimal dimensions of only 55.5 cm deep, 65.5 cm wide and 56.7 cm high, has generated particular interest. It also has an integrated fresh steam generator.

When kitchen preparation space is at a premium, Rational has the answer. Instead of using numerous cooking appliances such as pots, pans, grills or griddles or deep fryer – all at the same time, in just one single cooking appliance chefs can now cook everything! The SelfCookingCenter® is the first intelligent commercial cooking appliance that interacts with chefs. It gets to know the way chefs work so that, together, with their combi oven they will deliver the best possible cooking results.

Rational CookingLive on stand 532 demonstrates how easy it is to prepare a selection of menu items with flexibility and consistent results with the SelfCookingCenter® XS combi duo with ultra-vent (condensation hood). Rational are preparing:

  • Breakfast: porridge with berries and maple syrup, breakfast muffins, pancakes and crossants
  • Lunchtime: croque monsieur, noodle boxes, burger sliders, flat breads, steak ciabattas, fish & chips, sour dough pizzas, filled bao buns and wedges served with sour cream and salsa.

With the SelfCookingCenter® XS, Rational has succeeded in expanding our already successful range with a 2/3 unit, which only needs minimal space of 0.2 m3. However, the now smallest unit in the SelfCookingCenter® family is in no way inferior to the larger units in terms of features and performance. This is because the SelfCookingCenter® XS is equipped with a fresh steam generator and has all the familiar assistants such as iCookingControl, the intelligent support for the chef; iLevelControl, the assistant for optional mixed loading; HiDensityControl, which guarantees top food quality through maximum performance and precise regulation of cooking cabinet conditions, as well as Efficient CareControl, the automatic cleaning and descaling system.

This means the SelfCookingCenter® XS is ideally suited to use as a station unit in à la carte, in supermarkets, petrol stations, cafés and coffee shops, or indeed any situation where space is at a premium; as well as the first or additional unit. Whether this is a built-in solution, wall-mounted or standalone unit, the new SelfCookingCenter® XS will find a suitable place anywhere. In addition it also grills, steams, pan-fry, gratinates and bakes all food gently and with perfect results. This will produce delicious snacks, take-away dishes and baked goods, as well as healthy lunchtime dishes.

As an option, a high-performance and elegant circulating air hood to match any design and application, which can also be used in front cooking areas and ensures optimal visual integration. A full range of cooking accessories in the appropriate 2/3 size provide optimal support for the preparation of all types of foods. These include the grilling and pizza tray, the cross and stripe grill grate for grilling vegetables, steaks or fish, the roasting and baking trays for bread rolls, Danish pastries, pan-fried and breaded products, as well as the Multibaker, which is ideal for fried eggs, omelettes and hash browns.
