Futureproofing Replenish Kitchen with RATIONAL.
Together, the iCombi Pro and iVario Pro can handle the preparation of every menu item. “The iVario Pro allows us to prepare rice, pasta or other carbs in one pan while making a sauce in the other,” says Tom. “We also use it for pressure cooking.” continues Tom. Meanwhile, the iCombi Pro can be preparing other parts of the meals. “It’s incredibly versatile,” states Tom. “We use it for roasting meat and steaming vegetables, as well as making crumbs and garnishes and smoking dishes. We’ve used it to make carbonaras, smoked salmon, in fact, all kinds of things,” adds Tom.
The VarioSmoker accessory is simple to use, comments Tom: “You just plug it in, add the woodchips and it’s ready to go.” The VarioSmoker integrates seamlessly with iCookingSuite, built into the iCombi Pro Tom follows on, “iCookingSuite really helps when we’re under pressure. Once you’ve selected the recipe you know exactly what the results will be, and it even prompts you if anything needs to be adjusted as it cooks.”
With the growth of the meal prep and food delivery markets increasing year after year, Tom is confident that Replenish Kitchen is ready to meet this rising demand. “The range of recipes and operations the iCombi and iVario are capable of was impressive to begin with, but the regular software updates, adding in new recipes and cooking paths, give us plenty of options going forward. It’s good to know you’re futureproofed!”
