Restaurant Show Stop Press: Rational’s ‘Quantum Leap’ Combi Oven
Stand G19, 10-12 October 2011, Earls Court 2, London.
Rational’s new SelfCookingCenter® whitefficiency® makes its debut at the Restaurant Show on stand G19. Described as a “quantum leap forward”
for combi steamer technology in terms of efficiency, output and cooking quality, the new model has more capacity, in the same size cabinet, cuts energy consumption and is significantly faster than conventional combi ovens. It’s brilliantly simple to use, because it intelligently adjusts to the way each chef works. Plus, cooking results are ‘outstanding’.
The key to the increases in efficiency is a new feature called HiDensityControl. This has patented dynamic air mixing technology, which precisely controls the speed of the unit’s fan to channel the heat and humidity to exactly where it is needed, depending on the state of the product being cooked. HiDensityControl is supported by a new, highly efficient dehumidification process and the powerful new steam control feature, which guarantees maximum steam saturation.
HiDensityControl not only delivers outstanding cooking quality, but also allows chefs to maximise output, since they can load 30% more food into the same size cooking cabinet. Plus, it reduces energy consumption by 20% and cuts production time by 30%, compared to conventional combi ovens.
As well as HiDensityControl, the SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency features another new technology, Efficient LevelControl®, which makes it easier to cook mixed loads of different products. The established SelfCooking Control® and the recently launched CareControl® have also been upgraded and the whitefficiency model features an entirely new control panel. Collectively these features deliver a groundbreaking combi that is faster, more efficient, easier to use and more sustainable.
“We are very excited by the potential that our new SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency offers restaurateurs,” says Lee Norton, Managing Director of Rational UK. “The combination of better food quality with faster production is a real win-win. Plus, the new unit is priced at exactly the same level as its predecessor.”
