If you work in a professional kitchen, you will know how important skill and precision is throughout the cooking process. When things need to be prepared quickly in a fast-paced environment, the pressure to deliver results while maintaining standards can be intense.
When every second counts and the demand for perfection is unwavering, one cooking tool has emerged as a true game-changer: the pressure cooker. This humble kitchen appliance, often underestimated in home kitchens, becomes a culinary hero when it comes to efficiency, flavour infusion, and consistent results.
The iVario Pro by RATIONAL is a flexible cooking solution that cleverly integrates the ability to boil, fry, and deep fry into a single appliance. One of the most impressive features of the iVario Pro is its ability to perform pressure cooking, taking culinary possibilities to new heights.
This culinary technique involves cooking food within a sealed vessel, creating an environment of elevated pressure and temperature. The process significantly reduces cooking time without sacrificing flavour, infusion, or tenderness. Traditionally, pressure cooking required setting up specialised equipment, but with the iVario Pro, this is smartly integrated into its existing repertoire. Braised dishes, delectable casseroles, soups, and more can now be cooked at the same time and with the same equipment as a variety of other dishes.
With the push of a button on the iVarioBoost heating, the appliance quickly builds pressure and automatically keeps it constant, protecting the texture of the food and cooking it in significantly less time.
So, if the iVario Pro functions faster, does it also use more energy?
Surprisingly, the iVario Pro uses 40% less energy than other traditional kitchen appliances. Whether you’re using the shallow or deep fry option or just boiling food, this system accelerates cooking using less energy.
The key advantage of pressure cooking with the iVario Pro lies in its precise control over temperature and pressure levels. Chefs can tailor these parameters to suit the specific requirements of their dish, ensuring consistent results every single time. The iVario Pro's modern pressure-cooking capabilities offer a level of efficiency that is invaluable in a professional kitchen.
To avoid pressure loss, the lid is tightly locked with a patented internal locking system. The temperature and pressure of the cooking cabinet are constantly monitored throughout the cooking process, automatically decreasing at the end of the cooking procedure to allow the lid to be opened safely and easily.
The cooking system allows predictable results, so the dish isn’t over or undercooked. Food cooked at precise temperatures preserves its structure, ultimately resulting in a better-tasting dish. This means that the iVario Pro also contributes to a sustainable kitchen, as reduced cooking times mean lower energy consumption and less wastage of undercooked or overcooked food.
The iVario Pro’s pressure cooking takes versatility one step further by offering chefs the option to pre-programme their own custom settings, empowering their creativity and allowing them to adjust cooking processes according to changes in ingredients, requirements, or even the cooking environment itself.
For a chef or restaurant owner, the iVario Pro by RATIONAL is the perfect option for your business compared to the conventional industrial pressure cooker. It’s convenient, effective, and easy to use and clean. It offers the functionality of multiple pieces of kitchen equipment within one manageable footprint, and there are even two versions of the appliance; one is for restaurants, and the other is for businesses and industry catering so that you can take your pick depending on the requirements.
If you’re looking for equipment that evolves with the demands of the industry, upgrade your kitchen with the iVario Pro and redefine your culinary experience!
