Whether with or without meat, lactose-free or gluten-free, there are a few things that all dishes in school and nursery catering should have in common: As well as top marks for quality and taste, they need to be ready quickly and at the same time so that all the children can eat together. To make this work, Benoit Gourgues, Director Operational Product Management iVario at RATIONAL, recommends combining two iVario Pro models for the kitchen equipment. “In the L or XL version, the multifunctional cooking system replaces the bratt pan, boiler and pressure cooker and is designed to prepare large quantities in a short time,“ he explains. With its 150 litre capacity, the iVario Pro XL can prepare 400 portions of vegetable soup in 35 minutes or 15 kilos of pasta in just 22 minutes.

It should be tasty and healthy, inspire curiosity and foster community: School and nursery food is more than just food. To meet the needs of all children every day, caterers need to be flexible. While some people are vegan or do not eat pork for religious reasons, others are allergic to lactose, gluten or soya. Modern and intelligent cooking systems such as RATIONAL's iVario Pro help to ensure that everyone gets high-quality, tasty and varied food despite the extra organisational effort.
Another plus point, according to Mr Gourgues: The iVario Pro is up to 4 times faster than conventional kitchen technology and uses up to 40% less energy. Combined with digital recipe management, ease of use and automatic monitoring, this means "Everything is ready on time for the break bell. Both the 100 portion turkey ragout and the 30 portion vegetarian alternative. All to a consistently high quality and without any hassle for the kitchen staff."
