Welcome to High Sabatino's Foodservice Equipment Blog

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.

In the foodservice industry, speed, accuracy and quality are of the utmost importance. Today there are so many options on the market when it comes to cooking equipment. It is important to understand the differences between these types of equipment.

If there was one theme to take away from the 2017 NRA Show, it was innovation. The foodservice industry is embracing technology, and it was shown in every booth and demonstration at this year’s show. There were a couple booths that stuck out, however.

High Sabatino Associates is one of the region's leading providers of foodservice equipment in schools, colleges, and universities. From Virginia Tech's state-of-the-art Turner Place dining facility to your local elementary school, we are experts in finding the right equipment for every situation. Two issues that all school kitchens face are efficiency and the ability to create healthy but tasty dishes that students enjoy. Using the right equipment can help with both.

As we wind down from NAFEM and gear up toward the 2017 National Restaurant Association Show, we decided to take a collective look at all the lines we represent here at High Sabatino.

As many of you know, the biggest food service equipment tradeshow, The NAFEM Show, is making its biennial appearance in Orlando this February. Here is a sneak peek of what you can expect to see at NAFEM17.

I have the great opportunity to work as an intern at High Sabatino & Associates over the winter. On my first day, I was thrown into the excitement of a Rational Demonstration for their combi-oven called the SelfCookingCenter.

When it comes to combi ovens, Rational's CombiMaster Plus employs the latest technologies to achieve results. From enhanced heating control options to a generator that delivers 100% hygienic steam, every aspect of this oven was designed with care and precision in mind.

I went to the Rational headquarters in Munich, Germany this fall. While there, I was given the incredible opportunity to experience Oktoberfest in the city where it all began. I was able to learn so much during that week, not only about beer, food, and the history of Oktoberfest, but also about the history of Rational, one of the world’s leaders in food service equipment manufacturing.
