Bergedorf district school. Hamburg, Germany.

The glass-walled production kitchen of the Bergedorf district school prepares fresh and healthy lunches from regional products for up to 1,400 pupils and teachers daily. Multifunctional cooking appliances and a highly motivated team under the catering manager Oliver Jalaß make this possible.

"We have the benefit of putting pasta on a plate in a flash, for example. The system heats up very quickly, the pasta is automatically raised out of the water at the end of the cooking time and we can reload immediately. That is effectiveness."

Oliver Jalaß, Catering Manager

The solution: VarioCookingCenter®.

The RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® is used for a wide range of products, from scones, pastries and pies to steaks and roasts. The group’s customers expect the same high standard of food, whichever site they use, so consistency is vital.

“The new SelfCookingCenter® whitefficiency® is brilliant at cooking everything to the same quality, whether it’s salmon steaks or croissants.” This is thanks to a new feature called HiDensityControl, which ensures absolute consistency of cooking, throughout the cabinet, from the top shelf to the bottom.

With croissants, Fait Maison has found the SelfCookingCenter® whitefficiency® not only bakes them to perfection, light, fluffy and crisp, but also saves about 10% in ingredients. “The croissants come out about 20% bigger from the RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® than from our old ovens,” says Mohamed Osman. “So not only are they better, but we also need less dough per portion.”
