Intelligent cooking assistant.

The intelligent cooking assistant continuously and independently monitors the cooking process. It uses sensors to detect load quantity as well as food size and temperature, and based on these values, it precisely adapts the cooking process to each individual food. It even reacts to external influences such as opening the cooking cabinet door. The assistant remembers the user's cooking habits and notifies them when the desired cooking result has been achieved.

Thanks to the intelligent assistants, the iCombi Pro recognizes how much steam and heat the food needs – and automatically controls both to make sure the desired result is achieved.

Read on to find out more about the advantages of RATIONAL:

Technology and features.

Precise cooking cabinet climates are essential in combi ovens because they're fundamental to maximizing productivity and ensuring excellent results. iDensityControl, the iCombi Pro's intelligent climate management system, uses sensors, active dehumidification, and flow-optimized cooking cabinet geometry to maintain exactly the conditions the food needs.​

iCookingSuite makes the iCombi Pro's pre-installed cooking programs a breeze to use. Just specify your desired cooking result, such as browning or degree of doneness, and the intelligent cooking control automatically adjusts any relevant parameters such as temperature, cooking cabinet climate, or cooking time. Sensors detect the size, quantity, and condition of the food and react dynamically as cooking progresses. So you can reliably achieve your desired result without constantly checking or intervening.​

Mixed loads are no problem in the iCombi Pro. The iProductionManager monitors each rack individually. It automatically tracks each product's cooking progress and notifies the user when each is ready. Cooking times are automatically adjusted (e.g., to account for door opening time).​

The iCareSystem recognizes the degree of cleaning required in the iCombi Pro and recommends an appropriate cleaning program – including the necessary quantities of cleaner and descaler. Water and cleaning agent consumption is optimized automatically. Any necessary descaling is automatic as well. Users can also create and save individual cleaning schedules tailored to specific operating times and hygiene requirements.​

With MyDisplay, previously defined dishes can be selected directly on the display with images or icons. Just tap, and the iCombi Pro starts the corresponding cooking process automatically. This makes the system easier to operate and ensures consistent quality.​

ConnectedCooking lets users distribute cooking programs, update cooking system software, and document HACCP data centrally – no matter where the units are located.​

Efficiency & sustainability.

Research shows that modern kitchen technology can reduce energy consumption by more than 24% and water consumption by more than 45%, while also improving food quality and working conditions.​

We manufacture in Germany under the most stringent standards. RATIONAL relies on local production and in-house development and application research – clear markers of its commitment to quality and sustainability.​

Quality & reliability

The goal in the kitchen is to maintain consistently high food quality while keeping costs under control. Reliability, a long service life, and low operating and maintenance costs are crucial for kitchen equipment – and the iCombi Pro checks every box.​

RATIONAL guarantees 10 years of availability on all service parts – a strong argument for investment peace of mind.​

Since developing the first combi oven in 1976, it's manufactured over 1.5 million cooking systems and sold them in more than 100 countries.
