“It helped us to cut our cooking time on our chickens from two hours to fifty minutes.”

The RATIONAL Solution.

When the team at Mid-East Food Centre first began exploring new cooking equipment to support their kitchen, they were reluctant to make changes. Store-owner, Margo Njaim, shares, "We were nervous about making the switch because we had been following the same cooking method for 25 years. Looking back, I'm so glad we made the switch. Our RATIONAL has given us back so much time."

Since adding the RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® to their kitchen, the team has completely stopped using their old rotisseries for their ready-made chickens. "Our RATIONAL helped us cut our cooking time on our chickens from two hours to fifty minutes.

We also get much more consistent cooking results," said Mid East Food Centre's Store Manager Chris Khristophi, "We always know we are going to get the same results without all the guesswork. We simply insert the probe and press a button."

The kitchen team at Mid East Food Center is quite large, which meant a lot of training was required to ensure that food items were consistently high-quality. Now training is less of a burden.

Chris adds, "The RATIONAL is so easy to use that anyone can operate it and still get the exact same results."

Customer benefit:
