Residents of retirement and nursing homes want more variety and quality from their homes when it comes to catering. Food is no longer a minor matter, even in hospitals. Being able to offer a varied, healthy and high quality menu requires more than just good ingredients. Many operators of homes and chefs are under cost pressure, as a result, production must be maximized and cooking times minimized. Energy consumption and operating costs must also be kept as low as possible.
Our two cooking systems could be the possible solutions to all these challenges: the iCombi Pro and iVario Pro. They will help you optimize cooking processes, minimize energy consumption and ensure the highest food quality.
A sustainable kitchen not only helps the environment - but also your wallet. With RATIONAL cooking systems, you save energy and water. The iCombi Pro and iVario Pro also score points when it comes to spacing requirements. They save up to 30% of space compared to conventional cooking technologies. This reduces investment costs as the purchase of numerous cooking systems won't be necessary. These cooking systems are as efficient as can be. Due to optimal preparation of food, you use less raw materials. You won't have to worry about weight and quality loss due to water leakage either. And since you can always reproduce quickly, overproduction and unnecessary waste is also avoided.
Cook-&-Serve or rather Cook-&-Chill? Only fresh ingredients or high-quality convenience products? None of this is a problem with the RATIONAL iCombi Pro and iVario Pro cooking systems. Produce fresh, large quantities such as 160 cordon bleus with just one load in the iCombi Pro 20-half size. Or use the sous-vide method for a gentle, vitamin-preserving technique of cooking.
It can get hectic at lunchtime when many different dishes are waiting to be served at the same time. What if you could schedule your production times? This is easily possible with RATIONAL technology and iCombi's iProduction Manager. Pre-produce and regenerate ready-made food directly in the GN container. All that will be left to do it portion it and you're ready to go. Even elective patients food requirements will be a breeze. RATIONAL finishing technology also works with arranged plates, without loss of quality.
Up to 70% reduction in energy costs*
Short preheating times eliminate the need for standby mode. Continuous loading with the iProductionManager in the iCombi Pro and zone heating of the ladle with iZoneControl in the iVario Pro save energy.
Less working hours*
Routine tasks such as turning, checking and adjusting are no longer necessary. The ultra-fast cleaning in the iCombi Pro and the super-easy cleaning in the iVario Pro save time. This frees up 1-2 hours of time per day.
30% less space*
Together, the iCombi Pro and the iVario Pro replace around 90% of conventional kitchen equipment. Be out with the tilting pan, the boiling pan and the deep fryer - for more freedom of movement. Or for additional retail space.
Up to 25% less raw material consumption*
The iCombi Pro intelligently adjusts the cooking processes, which reduce weight and cuts losses. Nothing burns or boils over in the iVario Pro, with almost zero percent loss. All this results in 25% less raw material consumption.
