Perfect baked potatoes are quicker and easier than ever with Rational’s new potato baker
Baked potatoes make a handy menu item for bistros, cafes, busy pub restaurants and take-aways. Coupled with a section of toppings, baked potatoes are an easy way to give customers tasty and healthy options for little extra work.
Rational’s new potato baker, designed for the SelfCooking Center, ensures that baked potatoes are cooked perfectly, with crisp skins and light and fluffy insides – and all at the touch of a button. The 1/1GN potato baker accessory can hold up to 28 potatoes at a time.
The potato baker has spikes that conduct heat right to the centre of the potatoes so that they are cooked up to 50 per cent faster than by conventional methods. Corn on the cob, a notoriously difficult menu item, can also be cooked so it is tender and juicy. Using the potato baker and the special settings on the SelfCooking Center, baked potatoes can be ready in under 30 minutes, while sweetcorn only takes 10 minutes.
Built to withstand the demands of a busy kitchen, the potato baker is extremely robust and can be cleaned in a commercial dishwasher.
The high-tech SelfCooking Center is designed to save time and money in the commercial kitchen, by streamlining and automating cooking processes, cutting cooking times, minimising waste and making heavy-duty oven cleaning a thing of the past. Its CareControl system continuously monitors all cooking processes and tells staff exactly when it needs cleaning. At that point all the operator has to do is pop in a couple of special cleaning tabs and turn on the cleaning cycle. The SelfCooking Center does the rest.
