The Balmoral. Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

Advanced cooking equipment to feeds hotel's guests.

The Balmoral hotel in Edinburgh is one of the most recognisable buildings in the city. The ideal location for conferences, weddings and all kinds of celebrations. “We serve everyone here,” says executive chef Jeff Bland. “From your granny to the Queen!”

The kitchens at the Balmoral include a diverse selection of RATIONAL’s range. This includes ten combi ovens, both SelfCookingCenter® and CombiMaster® ranging from the XS, which is 55.5cm deep and 65.5cm wide, to the 202 unit, which can hold 20 2/1 Gastronorm pans and prepare up to 500 meals a day. Complementing the combi ovens are five RATIONAL VarioCookingCenter® appliances. The SelfCookingCenter® units integrate RATIONAL’s advanced software to control every step of the cooking process.

The RATIONAL Solution.

Consistency of results was one of the major factors when choosing equipment. “When doing a minimum of 1,000 covers a day, you need to ensure everything comes out exactly how you want,” says Jeff. “Once we had to make 300 soufflés, and we got 300 perfect soufflés! We were very impressed with that.”

The speed and efficiency of the machines was also important. “It doesn’t take long for the VarioCookingCenter® to get up to working temperature, and the turnaround between batches is very quick.” This efficiency is also key in the SelfCookingCenter® where the temperature is consistent throughout, everything gets cooked to perfection without having to make adjustments,” says Jeff. “It saves a lot of time.”

With chefs used to working on traditional equipment, introducing modern technology can seem challenging, but Jeff was impressed at the level of support RATIONAL offers. “The training sessions were fantastic with plenty of great advice, seeing the results helped me to change my attitudes about what this equipment could do.”
