Chef Connell’s team prepares about 5,000 meals daily, including staff meals and banquets. During the peak season, this can swell to 10,000 meals. That adds up to 3.6 million covers a year, and RATIONAL helps to make it possible. RATIONAL combi ovens are used in five of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach kitchens to prepare a good majority of food served.
Chef Connell is convinced RATIONAL combi ovens are the most well-built, reliable, and technologically advanced on the market. He values their precision, versatility, and consistency. “Sous vide, roast, braise, pastry applications: the sensitivity of RATIONAL technology takes care of all of that and allows you to prepare things to such a degree of refinement and perfection.”
He notes that braised short rib comes out tender and juicy, and perfectly done. The RATIONAL chicken superspike accessory allows rotisserie chicken juices to drip on vegetables arranged beneath, with spectacular results.
“A RATIONAL saves you in so many ways; from product reliability, efficiency, and consistency, it just makes your life easier,” Connell said. “There are no combi ovens that perform like it, and that has been the case for over 25 years.”
