Innovations from market leader Rational are helping to reduce operating costs
Landsberg am Lech, January 2009
Operating costs at catering firms are rising continually. One key reason for this can be found in high spending on energy. Now in particular, the industry needs to provide new, energy-efficient products for a noticeable easing of the burden. In this respect, the Rational SelfCooking Center sets new benchmarks:
New intelligent care that saves energy costs
Which factors influence the energy consumption of cooking appliances? aFactors driving up energy costs are often to be found where you wouldn't expecta, explains Victor Brown, General Manager of Rational UK. aScale deposits on the heating elements of a cooking appliance noticeably increase electricity consumption, for example. CareControl, the new, intelligent care system in the SelfCooking Center, prevents these, avoiding any kind of scaling. Optimum heating power is therefore guaranteed at all times.a
Another key factor in this context is efficiency in the transmission of energy to the food. The SelfCooking Center ensures, fully automatically, that at all times only exactly the amount of energy is added to the cooking cabinet as can be absorbed by the food being heated up.
Multifunctional technology to avoid standby time
One further important factor when it comes to energy efficiency is the workload of the cooking technology. We all know the situation: in the morning, a range of different cooking appliances are heated up and then, as for example with the deep fryer or grill plate, first used hours later, and then only a couple of times a day. Nevertheless, these appliances use up significant amounts of electricity throughout the day.
Multifunctional cooking appliances offer clear benefits here: the SelfCooking Center is brought up to operating temperature just once a day and, thanks to the many application options, is then continually in use - for example, for baking, grilling, deep frying and poaching. This avoids the unnecessary wastage of energy.
The SelfCooking Center optimises the use of energy
One further key point is the amount of energy loss in the kitchen. In this respect, enclosed cooking compartments, such as the one in the SelfCooking Center, are significantly more efficient than open cooking points, such as stoves, kettles or deep fat fryers. With the SelfCooking Center, the energy is used only for cooking and doesn't unnecessarily heat up the kitchen environment. In addition, this drastically reduces energy costs for air conditioning equipment.
A practical test in aThe Ivya restaurant confirms: CareControl saves money and space.
Landsberg am Lech, 01/2009
At present, aThe Ivya is the most popular restaurant in England and one of the most fashionable in Europe. As a Rational test customer, master chef Alan Bird was one of the first to experience the advantages of the new care intelligence of the SelfCooking Center.
Alan Bird: aLimescale in all areas of the kitchena
aIn London, hard water is a real problem,a says Alan Bird. aWe have problems with limescale in all areas of the kitchen. Although we use filter systems, these take up valuable space in the kitchen and the filters constantly need changing.a
No limescale, complete safety
Alan Bird is delighted with CareControl: aAlthough water is heated more often than in any other kitchen appliance, there are no visible limescale depositsa, explains Alan Bird. aIn the past a technician had to change the water filter and descale our old combi-steamer at least four times a year. Simply the service costs for the water filter and descaling the combi-steamer cost us at least a900 every year and sometimes even more.a
aJust in Timea cleaning
The innovative Rational CareControl automatically detects the current degree of soiling and the general condition of care of the SelfCooking Center and calculates the ideal cleaning and descaling ajust in timea.
