Peking without peaking: Rational Automatic Cooking Processes

Traditional Chinese food cooked to perfection in the Rational SelfCookingCenter® whitefficiency®

Steam cooking is a major component of Chinese cooking, creating traditional dishes such as Chinese rice, Dim Sum, Buns and fish dishes such as Garupa. The Rational SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency sets a new standard for Chinese cuisine, creating the ideal cooking environment for traditional dishes whilst saving time, energy, space and manpower.

The SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency can replace traditional cooking equipment, such as a rice cooker, BBQ oven, griddle or duck oven, without compromising on taste or quality. With the Rational the chef can roast, grill, bake, stew or steam.

Rational’s whitefficiency allows different menu items to be cooked simultaneously in the one unit, with the special high-power steam generator, even allowing different noodle dishes to be prepared at the same time, making the unit superior to any traditional Chinese steamer.

Peking Duck is a must on many Chinese menus. The skin has to be very crispy on the outside and browned evenly, whilst the meat needs to be tender and succulent. To be able to fulfil these requirements, the intelligent cooking process “Peking Duck” has been developed for the SelfCookingCenterwhitefficiency, in cooperation with top Chinese chefs. The operator just has to push the “Peking Duck” button – that´s it! No supervision or checking is necessary.

In addition to these examples, the SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency offers numerous other intelligent cooking processes for typical Chinese dishes like fried rice, Cantonese Chicken, Cantonese Duck and Sea Cucumber. Other processes can be pre-programmed by the chef so that even unskilled staff can replicate signature dishes.

Rational’s Intelligent Cooking Processes are operated by the simple push of a button.  However, unlike a programme, it intelligently monitors the food, adjusting the process for any change in circumstances, such as the combi steamer door being opened.
