A combi-steamer is a professional oven that variably combines convection and steam to cook food gently, evenly and efficiently. Modern models such as the iCombi Pro from RATIONAL allow precise control of temperature, humidity and cooking time, so that a wide range of dishes can be prepared with consistently high quality.

Thanks to its flexible cooking methods, a combi-steamer can cook almost any food to perfection - from meat and seafood to vegetables and baked goods. In just one cooking system you can steam, convection cook, grill, roast and even bake.

A combi-steamer allows you to combine different cooking methods: Steam cooking to gently preserve nutrients, hot air for crisp crusts, grill functions for attractive grill patterns and gentle regeneration of pre-prepared foods. Succulent roasts, tender fish fillets, crisp vegetables and light and airy cakes - the possibilities are endless.

A combi-steamer combines steam and convection in an insulated cooking cabinet. In the RATIONAL iCombi Pro, sensors continuously measure temperature, humidity and cooking progress. This intelligent regulation creates the optimum conditions for each dish to produce consistently excellent results.

Combi-steamers are generally available in both electric and gas variants. The choice depends on the individual requirements of the kitchen. The RATIONAL iCombi Pro is available with both an electric and a gas connection.

A conventional oven mainly works with dry heat, while a combi-steamer can also introduce steam into the cooking cabinet. This allows precise control of humidity and temperature. The result is more succulent food, shorter cooking times, less cooking loss and more consistent quality - the RATIONAL iCombi Pro makes full use of all these advantages.

The purchase of a combi-steamer pays for itself in the medium term by maximising kitchen processes, saving energy and delivering consistently high food quality. The RATIONAL iCombi Pro offers intelligent programs that monitor the food and thus reduce the need for operator intervention. In addition, the cost of goods can be optimised, significantly increasing profitability.

A combi-steamer such as the RATIONAL iCombi Pro simplifies work processes, ensures consistent quality, reduces cooking times, saves energy and optimises the use of resources. The result is more efficient kitchen processes, less strain on staff and happier guests.

Whether a combi-steamer requires a separate extractor hood depends on local regulations and space conditions. The iCombi Pro is available with optional exhaust systems for professional removal of steam and odours.

When choosing a combi-steamer for a restaurant, factors such as capacity, energy efficiency, ease of use, maintenance and after-sales service should be considered. The iCombi Pro from market leader RATIONAL impresses with intelligent control, high reliability, comprehensive recipe support and strong customer service - real added value for every restaurant.

High throughput, robust construction and efficient processes are essential for industry catering. A combi-steamer such as the iCombi Pro from market leader RATIONAL offers large production capacities, flexible cooking programs, easy cleaning and user-friendly operation - perfect for staff canteens, hospitals or schools.

The combi-steamer from the market leader RATIONAL, the iCombi Pro, has automatic cleaning systems. Depending on the degree of soiling, it runs fully automatic cleaning programs that use special cleaning agents and rinse aids. This reduces manual intervention to a minimum.

The service life of a combi-steamer depends on care, maintenance and usage. High-quality cooking systems such as the RATIONAL iCombi Pro are designed for many years of professional use and, with proper handling and regular maintenance, will provide many years of reliable service.

The energy requirements of combi-steamers vary depending on the model, size and version. Typical power consumption ranges from around 6kW for the smallest model to 20kW for table-top units, for example. The RATIONAL iCombi Pro is available in different sizes and power levels to optimally adapt to the individual requirements of a kitchen.

A convection oven mainly works with convection, while a combi-steamer also offers the steam function. The combi-steamer combines the advantages of both methods and, thanks to the combination of humidity and convection, enables greater flexibility, better cooking results and more efficient kitchen processes - especially in cooking systems such as the RATIONAL iCombi Pro.
