whitefficiency’®: a ‘quantum leap forward’ from Rational
‘The new SelfCookingCenter® has 30% more capacity, cuts consumption by 20% and is 30% faster than conventional combi ovens. It’s brilliantly simple to use, because it intelligently adjusts to the way each chef works. Plus, cooking results are ‘outstanding’. 
Rational has launched a new combi oven that it claims is a “quantum leap forward” in terms of efficiency, output and cooking quality. The SelfCookingCenter® whitefficiency® combines two new technologies, HiDensityControl® and Efficient LevelControl®, with the established SelfCooking Control® and the recently launched CareControl®. It also features an entirely new control panel. Collectively they deliver a groundbreaking combi that is faster, more efficient, easier to use and more sustainable.
HiDensityControl features patented dynamic air mixing technology, which precisely controls the speed of the unit’s fan to channel the heat and humidity to exactly where it is needed, depending on the state of the product being cooked. HiDensityControl is supported by a new, highly efficient dehumidification process and the powerful new steam control feature, which guarantees maximum steam saturation.
HiDensityControl not only delivers outstanding cooking quality, but also allows chefs to maximise output, since they can load 30% more food into the same size cooking cabinet. It also reduces energy consumption by 20% and cuts production time by 30%, compared to conventional combi ovens.
The new Efficient LevelControl technology not only tells the user which different foods can be cooked together, it also intelligently controls the cooking time for each rack, according to the amount of food and how often, and for how long, the door is opened during the cooking process. It means that everything is cooked to perfection, every time.
Because different food types can be easily cooked simultaneously, Efficient LevelControl maximises the output of the SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency – it’s especially useful in peak periods when the kitchen is at full stretch. The new SelfCooking Center whitefficiency increases cooking capacity by up to 30% and reduces energy consumption by 20%.
The SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency control panel makes operating the new combi steamer brilliantly simple because it constantly learns and automatically adjusts to the habits of the individual user. Meanwhile the ‘MyDisplay’ feature allows the display to be tailored to suit the user. For example, any functions that are not needed can simply be removed from the display interface, keeping controls simple and eliminating operator error, even with untrained staff.
“The SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency sets a new benchmark in combi oven technology,” says Lee Norton, managing director of Rational UK. “Chefs will know they have complete, precise control of the cooking process and perfect results are guaranteed, every time.
“For the market overall, the new combi will have a huge impact in three key areas: sustainability, ease of use and food quality.”

Editor’s notes:
SelfCookingControl regulates the cooking processes – even the most complex of cooking routines can be initiated at the touch of a button, thanks to the simple control system. However, numerous new cooking options mean that chefs can manipulate the cooking process according to their own recipes. And they always know exactly what’s going on, since they are perfectly informed about the cooking process. This means no more time-consuming routine tasks, such as monitoring food, and more time for essentials such as creativity.
CareControl further enhances efficiency by detecting the level of soiling and ‘care status’ in the SelfCookingCenter and always suggesting the appropriate cleaning level. This saves up to 40 % in terms of energy, water and chemicals.
