Rational combi oven: why this brand leads the professional kitchen

In every professional kitchen, consistency, speed and quality are paramount. Anyone looking for equipment that delivers all of this will sooner or later turn to Rational. The German brand is recognised worldwide as the absolute standard in combi ovens and combi steamers. At Retail Equipment Europe in Steenwijk, both new and used Rational systems are available.

Half a century of innovation in the professional kitchen

Rational has produced and sold more than 1.5 million cooking systems in over 100 countries, making it the world market leader with a market share of more than 50%. The journey began in 1976 with the CD 101, the first unit to combine steam and convection for multifunctional cooking.

More than an oven: an intelligent cooking system

What sets Rational apart is the intelligence of the system. A Rational combi steamer combines steam and convection in one intelligent system. Advanced climate control automatically adjusts the ratio of temperature and humidity to suit the dish, delivering optimal results for baking, roasting, grilling, steaming, poaching and regenerating.

The iCombi Pro: the crown jewel of the Rational range

• iDensityControl: intelligent climate management system using sensors and active dehumidification to maintain ideal conditions.
• iCookingSuite: set the desired cooking result; sensors detect size, quantity and condition of the food and respond dynamically.
• iProductionManager: advises which dishes can be prepared simultaneously and optimises for speed, finishing time or energy use.
• iCareSystem: self-learning cleaning system that detects the level of soiling and selects the appropriate programme.

The iCombi Pro increases productivity by 50% and reduces preparation times and energy consumption by up to 10% compared with previous models.

Energy savings and sustainability

Rational combi ovens reduce electricity costs by up to 70% compared with conventional cooking setups, work three times faster and use 40% less energy than traditional equipment. The iCareSystem saves 50% on chemical use and 25% on energy during the cleaning cycle.
