Better quality food, more quickly, even front of house: the Rational solution

SelfCookingCenter® whitefficiency® combi steamer with Ultravent Plus: the ideal coffee shop cooking package

Stand J5, Caffè Culture, Olympia London, 16 – 17 May 2012

At Caffè Culture Rational will be showcasing the options for better expanding menus by using the latest combi steamer technology.  The new SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency is ideal for coffee shop operations, bakeries and take-aways as it can improve food quality, increase profits and speed up production.  The company will also highlight its Ultravent Plus hood, the solution to the problem of cooking in limited space, since many operators have only a small kitchen or have to cook front of house. 

“The SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency with Ultravent Plus is the ideal cooking package for coffee shops looking to improve their catering operation, especially if they have limited cooking space,” says Lee Norton, managing director of Rational UK. 

The new SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency

The SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency features two new technologies that can make a crucial difference in helping coffee shops improve their catering operations.  HiDensityControl maximises the capacity of the oven cabinet, increasing loading by as much as 30% compared to standard combi ovens.  This means they can produce more food from the same footprint.  Meanwhile Efficient LevelControl means that staff can cook different foods at the same time, easily and with no flavour cross over – which makes the unit even more efficient and cuts production times significantly, since foods don’t have to be cooked in separate batches. 

Another major benefit for coffee shops where staff may not be trained chefs is the new combi steamer’s ease of use.  The SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency control panel makes operating the unit brilliantly simple, because it constantly learns and automatically adjusts to the habits of the individual user.  At the touch of a button even untrained staff can produce perfect results, every time, because the Rational’s automatic cooking processes cook foods in their own ideal ‘climate’, whether it be pizza or bread or roast chicken or croissants.    

Ultravent Plus: front of house cooking made easy

Rational’s Ultravent Plus hood makes it possible to cook in small coffee shop kitchens, or front of house, without worrying about steam or cooking odours.  Ultravent absorbs and dissipates the steam, while the systems’ special filters trap odour and smoke, so it’s possible to grill or roast food, right in front of the customer.  Because Ultravent deals with the steam, odour and smoke, there’s no need for expensive ventilation and extractor systems.
