Why you should choose a Rational Oven

admin — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 07:05:44 +0000

So you think youre ready to purchase your next Combi-Oven, theres a dozen choices and you don’t know what to go for! If this sounds like your current situation then you need to read this post in full as we are going to look at the various options and give our recommendations.

Firstly you need to work out if you need a manual or automatic oven. An automatic oven virtually cooks for you taking the hard work away, the oven is pre-programmed with thousands of variables and has a core temperature probe to cook evenly and exactly and this can be done with the press of a few buttons. The manual ovens can be hard work, especially for inexperienced users, as they rely on your knowledge of cooking times and specific knowlege of the oven times. Manual machines are about 35% cheaper to buy than their automatic counter-parts but will cost more in staff bills due to the constant supervision over cooking times.

The first oven we are going to review is the Rational SCC Range, SCC is the abbreviation for Self Cooking Center and thats pretty much what an SCC oven does. Its fully automatic and cooks with steam, dry heat or a combination of the two hence the name Rational Combi Oven. This oven comes in various sizes, theres the SCC61 which is a six grid oven and the smallest one they do all the way upto the SCC202 a 40 grid oven. The Rational SCC61 can grill, roast, fry, steam, bake, poach and finish using the Rational Banquetting System.

The Rational Oven is considered to be the best on the market as they only make that one product line and can spend all their resources on making it the best. They have tested thousands of meals and cooking times and have perfected the oven. The oven also cleans itself, and has a built in water softener and filter. Rational make ovens for other manufacturers and just just rebrand the product for them (for example Lincat use Rational Ovens Rebranded). The new Rational ovens now have a two year warranty as opposed to the one year which every other manufacturer offers.

Rational ovens are also nicer to look at and have a very easy to use control panel. Lastly the Rational SCC61 is offered at £7320 list and £4589 after discounts. So its cheaper than its rivals and better.
