Rational launches combi steamer smoker accessory

VarioSmoker turns SelfCookingCenter® whitefficiency® into smoker for meat, fish and vegetables

Rational´s new VarioSmoker allows chefs to smoke meat, fish and vegetables in the SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency, achieving a natural smoked flavour without having to buy a separate smoker.

Smoked dishes and flavours are increasingly popular in leading restaurants.  The Rational combi steamer has always been one of the most multifunctional pieces of commercial kitchen equipment.  The new VarioSmoker takes this versatility to a new level. 

Using the VarioSmoker is simple: all chefs have to do is fill its pan with wood chips or pellets, pop it in the Rational combi steamer and plug in the cable.

“The new accessory allows chefs to save time by cooking and smoking the food simultaneously,” says Lee Norton, managing director of Rational UK.  “Because there’s no need to buy a separate smoker oven, it saves space and investment costs, too.”

The VarioSmoker is compatible with all Rational combi steamers manufactured since 1997. “It’s so simple to use, it means chefs can start smoking straight away, either in manual mode or using the Rational’s automatic programmes and processes,” says Lee.

The combination of the VarioSmoker and the SelfCookingCenter’s precise controls help chefs create the exact flavour and intensity of natural smoked food they require.

Rational has produced a video showing the VarioSmoker in use.  It can be found on the company’s YouTube channel, at http://bit.ly/13M5Rs2
