When we introduced the VarioCookingCenter® a few months ago, we had no idea how much better it was going to get. When you have a unit that's so incredibly versatile and then add a layer of control unrivaled in any commercial kitchen solution, the result is nothing short of spectacular.
Where RATIONAL's iVario Pro truly stands out is its ability to do just about anything in the kitchen. While it looks like a tilting skillet, the iVario Pro can do so much more. It can boil, fry, deep-fry, and pressure cook. It's built for speed, precision, intelligence, and ultimately, savings for operators.
Let's get right to it. Take a look for yourself.
The iVario Pro features, iVarioBoost, controls and functions that provide speed and precision, not to mention efficiency. This level of control allows for a variety of applications, turning the push of a button into a set of instructions that will perfectly cook product to a specific temperature, both inside and out. Imagine cooking with a no-fail ability to keep temperatures below the scorch point depending on what's being cooked.
Units resemble a tilt skillet but have so much more potential. With individual ceramic heating units that can be adjusted in different ways, the simultaneous versatility is limited only by your imagination. You can boil water differently in zones even in the same pan.
This is as far as we've come thus far to implement the intelligent kitchen. This is reliability to a desired result, without all the supervision. It's the employee that never calls in sick or the line chef that does exactly what you want him/her to do -- every time. That being said, though the iVario Pro is part of the RATIONAL iCookingSuite designed to provide reliability and intelligence, it's not designed to take jobs away from your staff. It's designed to make them easier.
And then there's the flexibility and control we mentioned above. With multiple zones controlled so precisely, extra requests for dietary issues are easy. Different preferences with doneness are easily achievable. Regardless of portion size, things get cooked the way their supposed to be cooked.
With iVario Pro and the iZoneControl features, operators can simultaneously cook different items on the same surface, receiving direction from the unit on what needs to be done next. This makes work easier and saves energy in the process.
This is a whole new way at looking at the cooking process, and you kind of need to see it to believe it. Look for opportunities to view and demo the iVario in the future, and be sure to join us at our upcoming RATIONAL roadshow we're holding in Alexandria, Virginia in September.
