Product Description

Key Features of the Rational 101E Combi Steamer:

1. Clear and Intuitive Control Panel with Pictograms

Navigating complex machines can be a hassle—especially in a busy kitchen. That’s why the Rational 101E comes equipped with a control panel that uses simple pictograms, allowing even inexperienced users to operate the steamer efficiently.

The visual interface removes the language barrier and provides instant clarity, making day-to-day operations straightforward, fast, and stress-free. This feature is especially valuable in kitchens with rotating staff or where multiple nationalities are working together.

2. Rack Monitoring with Individual Time Programming

No two dishes are the same, and neither should their cooking times be. This feature allows you to program individual cooking times for each rack, enabling the simultaneous preparation of different dishes without the risk of overcooking or undercooking. The system monitors each tray independently, making non-stop loading possible—perfect for high-volume operations where time is money. It ensures that every dish is cooked with the precision it deserves, regardless of what’s cooking beside it.

3. Program Memory for 350+ Cooking Programs with 12 Steps Each

Consistency is key in professional cooking, and this combi oven helps you achieve it effortlessly. The Rational 101E can store over 350 cooking programs, each with up to 12 sequential steps. Whether you’re roasting meats, baking pastries, or steaming vegetables, you can save your perfected cooking procedures and recall them instantly. This not only enhances food quality but also ensures every team member can replicate your signature dishes to the same high standard, every time.

4. Fully Automated Cleaning and Care System

Cleaning a commercial combi oven can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. This model eliminates that challenge with a fully automatic cleaning and care system that operates independently of your kitchen’s water pressure. The system includes six programmable cleaning cycles, capable of running even overnight without supervision. It ensures the interior of the cooking chamber and steam generator are thoroughly cleaned, promoting hygiene, machine longevity, and hassle-free maintenance. Say goodbye to manual scrubbing and hello to stress-free compliance with food safety standards.

5. Detergent and Care Tabs with Cleaning Prompts

The Rational 101E takes hygiene a step further with its innovative solid detergent and care tabs, specifically formulated to work with the cleaning system. It automatically detects when cleaning is required and displays a cleaning prompt, guiding users through the necessary steps. The system even tracks the chemical dosage and cleaning stage in real-time. This ensures optimal performance, reduces the risk of residue buildup, and protects your team from handling liquid chemicals, enhancing both food safety and user safety.

6. Precision Core Temperature Probe with 6 Measuring Points

Achieve perfect results with the integrated core temperature probe, which includes six individual sensors to monitor internal food temperature accurately. If the probe is inserted incorrectly, the system automatically compensates to ensure the food still reaches the desired temperature. This ensures your meats, fish, and baked goods are always cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and safe to serve. No more guesswork or wasted batches—just precision, every single time.

7. Five Programmable Air Speeds and Humidity Control

Fine-tuning cooking conditions has never been easier. The Rational 101E features five programmable fan speeds, allowing you to control how heat and steam circulate inside the oven. Whether you’re baking delicate pastries or roasting large cuts of meat, you can adjust the airflow to suit your dish. Additionally, the programmable humidifying function enables precise control of humidity levels between 30°C and 260°C, helping you maintain moisture, prevent drying, and enhance texture and flavor. It’s a level of control that’s hard to find elsewhere.

8. Built-in Safety Features for Peace of Mind

Safety is paramount in any kitchen, and this combi oven includes multiple built-in protections. The left-hand hinged door includes a safety locking mechanism to prevent accidental opening during operation. The control panel is lockable, preventing unauthorized changes to settings.

The unit also features an integrated fat drain to minimize the risk of spills and slipping, contributing to a cleaner and safer work environment.

9. Ethernet Interface and Menu Pad for Digital Control

Stay connected and in control. The Ethernet interface allows for seamless software updates, integration with kitchen management systems, or remote diagnostics.

Meanwhile, the menu pad allows users to quickly navigate cooking options and cleaning cycles. Together, these features bring the Rational 101E into the digital age, ensuring your kitchen runs smarter, not harder.
