RATIONAL, is expanding its presence in southern India with a new training centre in Bangalore. From now on, intelligent solutions for catering and professional kitchens will be presented here at cooking events in their newly launched facility at Koramangala, said a release.
“We are delighted that the new training centre will enable us to reach out more effectively to companies in Southern India. In addition to the office in Delhi, this is another place where we can talk to caterers and show them solutions that enable them to prepare large quantities of food to a consistently high quality,” said Vishal Raman, managing director of RATIONAL India.
“RATIONAL’s cooking systems make this possible in part because of their built-in intelligence. The iCombi Pro combi-steamer plans the cooking process itself, automatically adapting to the food being cooked and notifying you when action is needed. The MyDisplay function can also be used to customise the on-screen user interface so that the operator only sees the functions he needs on any given production day. This virtually eliminates errors, especially for non-specialist employees. All the operator has to do is select the appropriate icon on the display and load the iCombi. Now, thanks to the precise and powerful supply of heat and fresh steam, you can be sure of consistently high quality results. “For example, vegetables retain their natural colour, bite, nutrients and vitamins. And they do so evenly across all racks,” he said..ConnectedCooking ensures even greater reliability. With Digital Kitchen Management, cooking programs can be created on a PC, tablet or smartphone and sent to networked RATIONAL cooking systems at the click of a mouse. This ensures the same standards at each location.
“Apart from the quality of the food, the most important thing in the catering and professional kitchen sector is the ability to prepare large quantities in a short time,” said Raman.
RATIONAL has developed the iVario Pro multifunctional cooking system for this purpose: With a usable volume of 150 litres, the XL version can cook up to 80 litres of dal in 30 minutes or 100 servings of fried rice in 20 minutes. The patented heating technology, which heats the entire pan base evenly to 200 degrees C in less than 2.5 minutes, is responsible for the high speed. In addition, only as much heat is introduced into and removed from the food as is needed, preventing sticking and overcooking. Despite its high performance, which makes the iVario Pro up to four times faster than conventional kitchen technology, it uses up to 40 percent less energy.
