Take a butchers at these pies – they don’t get much better

Rational’s SelfCooking Center offers butchers perfect pie makingPie-making made easy with the Rational SelfCooking Center

Diversification is the name of the game nowadays. And butchers are finding that with the growing availability of mass-produced, ready-prepared dishes they need to up the ante and jump into the bespoke pie market. It makes commercial sense for butchers to use up off-cuts and surplus meat for this value-added product.

While many are confident with developing popular and unusual fillings they are put off going any further by the crucially-important pastry side of the operation.

The SelfCooking Center from Rational takes all the guesswork out of cooking pies and pastries. It offers butchers a fool-proof way of baking tasty, high quality products. Its Baking Mode ensures perfect results time after time, at the touch of a button, precisely regulating the humidity, temperature and airflow so nothing is spoilt or wasted and the pastry is exactly as it should be.

All the butcher has to do is to select the degree of browning and the SelfCooking Center does the rest, continuously checking and making adjustments to the baking time even if the door is opened. Different pies can be cooked at the same time with no cross-over of flavour.

The SelfCooking Center can also pre-cook the pie fillings so they are tender and moist with minimal shrinkage and no loss of taste. Because the cooking process is automatic there is no risk of over- or under-cooking ensuring consistent results even when inexperienced staff are in charge.

What’s more, the new SelfCooking Centers all have CareControl. This is Rational’s clever cleaning system that continuously monitors the cooking cabinet, telling the operator exactly when it needs cleaning. At the end of the day all the butcher has to do is pop in the special cleaning tabs, shut the door, set the cleaning program in motion and then go home for a good night’s sleep. The result: a refreshed butcher and a hygienically clean SelfCooking Center, both ready for the next day of cooking.
