Caffè Culture Combi: space-saving, multi-functional, user-friendly cooking

The Rational SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency shows its coffee shop credentials

What’s the best sort of cooking equipment for the coffee shop sector? Limited space means it has to be multifunctional, but customer expectations mean it has to be able to produce quality results, despite staff often having limited cooking skills. At Caffè Culture 2013 Rational will demonstrate how the SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency can provide the ideal solution.

Visitors will be able to see how the Rational combi steamer can cook everything from pies to paninis, from jacket potatoes to muffins and from bread to pizza –all at the touch of a button, and all with perfect results.

What if you need to cook lots of different items, such as rolls, pastries and croissants? Clever features like EfficientLevelControl tell the user which foods can be cooked at the same time, adjusting the cooking time for each shelf according to the amount of food loaded and how often, and for how long, the door is opened during the cooking process. It means coffee shops can even prepare a full breakfast, including bacon, toast, eggs, sausages, hashbrowns, tomatoes and mushrooms, in just six minutes.

Because it is multifunctional, a SelfCookingCenter saves space, in fact it can replace 40 to 50% of standard appliances, reducing the kitchen footprint by at least 30%. Options such as the Ultravent condensation hood, which eliminates unwanted cooking fumes and steam, can do away with the need for extra, expensive extraction systems, making it possible to site the combi steamer front of house.

The latest Rational SelfCookingCenter whitefficiency has up to 30% more capacity, cuts energy consumption by up to 20% and reduces production times by up to 30%, compared to previous models.
