Rational embraces the ‘future kitchen’ at the HCA Forum 2022  

iVario Pro cooking system shows benefits of advanced bratt pan technology

Stand 8, HCA Forum, ACC Liverpool, 30-31 March 2022

Staff shortages? Sustainability? Pressure on skilled personnel? Productivity? On the Rational stand visitors to HCA will be able to see how the iVario Pro cooking system answers many of the key challenges facing today’s hospital caterers.

The iVario Pro is like an advanced, multifunctional bratt pan.  It not only replaces conventional bratt pans but also kettles, deep fryers and pressure cookers.  Hospital caterers will be able to find out how they can boil, braise, fry and deep fry in one space-saving unit, up to four times faster and using up to 40% less energy than with conventional equipment.

The iVario Pro uses artificial intelligence to take over many of the tasks the staff would normally have to undertake – saving time and increasing productivity.  For example, its iCookingSuite technology recognises the food’s weight, size and condition and automatically adjusts cooking parameters to ensure the best possible results, monitoring and completing cooking processes.

A key feature on the stand will focus on QSR and food to go in hospitals, showing the benefits the iVario Pro brings to patient, staff and visitor catering.  Rational director Colin Parry says, “The Forum is all about embracing the future, and with the iVario Pro visitors will be able to see how the most advanced cooking systems are bringing huge benefits to hospital catering.”
