When it comes to maintaining a high-efficiency commercial kitchen, the oven can be considered the heart of the operation. While other cooking equipment is vital, the oven is often one of the most used pieces in a foodservice business and helps drive much of the profits.  

Commercial ovens from RATIONAL offer superior performance and consistency. This allow chefs of all skill levels to upgrade their menus and deliver better results for their customers. RATIONAL provides a range of cooking processes within a single footprint in the kitchen.

A Variety of Cooking Modes

The fact that RATIONAL ovens can cook in a variety of styles is one of the things that makes them so attractive for restaurateurs and foodservice businesses. A RATIONAL oven, for instance, can give steam cooking in addition to conventional and convection cooking for quicker and juicier results. Operators have the option of selecting combination cooking for the greatest flexibility and adaptability.

Additionally, the variety of cooking options makes sure that all operators can take advantage of the technology. For instance, staff members must be able to prepare a large quantity of food rapidly so that it may be served to kids at breakfast and lunch. Restaurants and caterers can prepare a variety of foods faster than they could with a conventional oven.

Smarter Cooking with RATIONAL

One of the biggest challenges with cooking in a professional foodservice environment is the amount of experience needed to know how to adjust temperatures and settings. Typically, chefs know how to finesse each piece of equipment to get the best results, but what about average employees?

Fortunately, RATIONAL commercial ovens with iCookingControl can alleviate this issue. Chefs no longer have to stress about using the wrong settings or heat levels since they can be sure that every dish is prepared correctly every time. By automating the whole process, including determining cooking times, foodservice businesses can virtually guarantee consistency across all dishes being prepared.

And, in addition to adjusting the cooking settings for a single dish, a RATIONAL oven can also detect if there are multiple items inside and correct its cooking methods accordingly so each dish comes out exactly right.

Efficient and Sustainable

Cooking operations that operate automatically are one thing, but there are other features and advantages as well. Operators are constantly seeking for ways to reduce expenses and improve the energy efficiency of processes due to the rising cost of electricity.

Fortunately, RATIONAL ovens can take care of these problems automatically. Intelligent cooking systems enable the oven to use just as much heat as necessary, so no energy is wasted. Plus, since workers don't have to monitor or reset the system, there are fewer chances of errors. This also allows staff to focus their attention on other tasks that may require more concentration or personality, such as customer service.

Businesses can switch from cooking fish to baking bread in less than 12 minutes with the iCareSystem in the RATIONAL iCombiPro without worrying about flavors and smells transferring. It also contributes to decreased food waste and more client pleasure. Which also helps with less food waste and better customer satisfaction.

Finally, RATIONAL commercial ovens are designed to use as little energy and water as possible. Since traditional systems may cause overuse, operators can feel confident that their utility bills will be as lean and streamlined as they can.
