Tradition meets technology.
Bouley’s love affair with RATIONAL began the first time he used a combi to prepare rotisserie chicken instead of using conventional equipment. “We realized that the RATIONAL program was much more efficient,” says Bouley. “The moisture was unbelievable, the skin … everything we were looking to accomplish in a very expensive rotisserie, we were doing in the RATIONAL – with less labor, less cleanup, and in less time. So that’s when our attention went to RATIONAL.” The more he explored, the more he liked about a tool that both simplified and amplified his cooking. “We never would’ve have been able to embrace certain techniques, no matter how we manipulated the environment to accomplish a certain goal,” says Bouley. “RATIONAL makes it simple.”
The challenge:
Chef David Bouley wanted to improve the nutrient density and health benefits of his dishes.
The solution:
Bouley uses a RATIONAL combi oven to prepare rotisserie chicken and other dishes, which allow him to achieve better moisture and skin texture than with conventional equipment. It also helped him with the fermentation of black garlic, which required specific humidity levels to increase its nutritional value.
Customer benefit:
The RATIONAL combi oven simplifies and amplifies Bouley's cooking, allowing him to achieve consistent, high-quality results. It also provides efficiency in the kitchen with intelligent programming that allows for the simultaneous preparation of multiple dishes.
