A taste of things to come, great results in a RATIONAL

By James Russell: A taste of things to come, great results in a RATIONAL

At the Great Hospitality Show, visitors will experience the NEW generation SelfCookingCenter on stand 320, 23-25 January 2017 at the NEC, Birmingham.

Rational expert chefs on stand  will demonstrate how easy it is to prepare different meal occasions, with the new generation SelfCookingCenter 101 and XS models, including breakfast, grab-and-go, baking, a la carte and casual dining items with flexibility and consistent results.

Sea bass fillets, noodles and soy dressing

The new generation SelfCookingCenter combi oven is now available as the XS version in unit sizes 6 x 2/3 GN and in the familiar unit sizes 6 x 1/1 GN to 20 x 2/1 GN. Offering customers more optimisations with the same functionality and performance as previous models, 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.

Energy consumption is a significant cost factor in professional and commercial kitchens. The issue of energy efficiency is therefore becoming more relevant and now plays a greater role in the purchasing decision making process. The new generation SelfCookingCenter by Rational has a triple pane glass cabinet door and is equipped with efficient LED lighting. These innovations have further reduced the energy requirements of the already economical cooking appliances. The integrated energy meter on the new generation units also displays and saves the energy consumption figures.

The SelfCookingCenter shows which foods can be cooked together on the iLevelControl display and chefs can specify what they want to prepare. iLevelControl monitors each rack individually ensuring consistent results every time. In addition, according to the load quantity and how often and for how long the door stays open, iLevelControl intelligently corrects the cooking time and even lets the chefs know.
