Welcome to High Sabatino's Foodservice Equipment Blog

We love it when people come by the High Sabatino test kitchen to spend time with our team of experts including our executive chef, Tommy Abbott. We also know how important your time is, and we certainly don't want anyone wasting it. That's why we make our in-house demonstrations as fun and educational as possible.

What if you could cook more with less hassle and less equipment taking up space in your commercial kitchen? Doesn't that sound ideal? Imagine using less space while increasing productivity and reducing energy consumption. Couldn't that make business more profitable and enjoyable? Fortunately for you and all of your foodservice operation needs, that dream is a reality! You can reduce your cooking footprint while increasing the output and maximizing your operational success.

Prime rib is one of the most popular -- and profitable -- proteins. It can pose challenges, though, because it often requires longer cook times and greater amounts of attention. All of that can change when you pair a combi oven from RATIONAL with the TenderChef from Carter Hoffmann, and our own Chef Tommy proved that in a recent demonstration.

Change in a restaurant that has been successful for its traditional cooking methods can be a difficult thing to swallow for the business owners. For Frank Cerminaro, this was the case when he realized he had to make the transition from conventional ovens to combi ovens. The demand for his fabulous menu was not being met by current cooking methods, and changes were required.

School cafeteria meals don't have to be predictable. With today's students, food that isn't tasty is boring and irrelevant. At the same time, school districts and the foodservice equipment companies that support them are making things easier on today's directors and cafeteria staff. Combi oven technology is one of these improvements.

The NAFEM Show is the one time every two years when our industry can marinade in the latest innovations and technologies that help make commercial kitchens more efficient, more productive, and more profitable.

We don't generally publicize it. We don't really talk about it in this way. Heck, we never really thought about writing a blog post about it until a few weeks ago. But here at High Sabatino, there's one general thing you should know about our lineup of foodservice solutions.

Changing customer preferences combined with limited space can be challenging factors in operations across, not just Maryland and Virginia, but the entire foodservice landscape.

Maryland and Virginia foodservice operators know that their guests care about results and RATIONAL iCombi and iVario cooking equipment provide just that. No matter how you want your finished product to look and taste, one press of the button replaces temperature adjustments, pan rotations, and frequent monitoring. For operators, that means consistent quality, more time for kitchen staff, and happy guests.

These intelligent cooking solutions grill, roast, bake, fry, and steam. But that’s not all that's possible. Let’s examine five surprising things that RATIONAL intelligent cooking equipment can do for your commercial kitchen.

Commercial kitchens are a melting pot of several different pieces of cooking equipment. For some kitchens, this equipment can take up valuable space. What if you could replace several pieces of cooking equipment with a few smaller pieces? Well the answer is, you can.
