The RATIONAL combi oven is the recommended oven for KFC franchisees in North America because of its excellent performance and the total cost of ownership. It helps operators to increase both employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction, all while reducing energy costs. KFC operators around the world use more than 18,000 RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® combi ovens to prepare biscuits, cookies, flan, egg tarts, mac and cheese, potpies, chicken pizza, chicken nachos, roasted wings, and grilled chicken by simply touching a button.
KFC franchisees are able to select a unit size that will work best for their store. With five pan and three pan capacities approved, the RATIONAL combi can fit almost anywhere. Many franchisees opt to add the UltraVent Plus recirculating hood, which enables them to cook grilled chicken without investing in additional hood space. Most municipalities do not require a hood for just baking.
