Tudor Hall. Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

“We bought our CombiMaster Plus in 2004 and it is still a workhorse in our kitchen.”

Gabriel Giammaria, Head Chef, Tudor Hall.

2004 RATIONAL is still going strong.

We bought our CombiMaster in 2004 and it is still a work horse in our kitchen. Now adding a SelfCookingCenter to the picture? It’s just incredible,” Giammaria said.

“With the help of our RATIONAL equipment, we were able to serve a turkey dinner for 450 guests in 12 minutes. And cooking meats in the SelfCookingCenter is so simple – probe it and forget it.

"Having a RATIONAL enables us to keep up with demand, even if we are short staffed. It helps us gain flexibility, allowing us to make food in advance of when we need it. We can even prepare extra when an unexpected special request comes in, and have it on the table in six minutes. With so many food allergies these days, this has really helped us keep our guests happy."

Tudor Hall’s homemade pizza consistently earns rave reviews from guests, and proofing dough in the SelfCookingCenter® 202 takes just one hour – a significant time savings that makes it easy to serve a fresh homemade product.

“We were even able to add a children’s menu, which our customers really like. Such a simple idea, but we were really only able to make it happen because of how much more flexible our kitchen is," he said.
