This month the Rational VarioCookingCenter played it’s part in helping to cook up a Guinness World Record. Chefs from Resorts World, Birmingham produced the world’s largest serving of fish and chips, at an event held on Friday 9 February.

The sizeable 27.83kg halibut fillet, was sourced and coated in batter by the Resorts World chefs.  Attending the event was Kevin Tombs, Rational Regional Sales Manager, where he assisted the chefs and programed the VarioCookingCenter 311 model to deep-fry the halibut, taking just over two hours; they then fried a very generous serving of chips.

Graham Kille, Technical Sales Director Rational UK who also attended the day, commented,

“We are delighted that Rational played a key role in Resorts World’s success. The combination of performance and sensitivity of the VarioCookingCenter® 311 model makes it the perfect multifunctional appliance for a record-breaking meal.”
