RATIONAL United States

RATIONAL United States RATIONAL is the world market and technology leader in the field of hot food preparation for professional kitchens. (TNS Infratest 2016 study).

For over 50 years, RATIONAL has focused on providing unparalleled cooking solutions, delivering outstanding and consistent food quality. It all began with the idea of combining steam and convection cooking into a single appliance. So we developed our first combi-steamer in 1973, and we have been continuously working to improve it ever since. Yet our company has never just been content with being a

mechanical engineer. We see ourselves as an innovative solutions provider. Above all else, our utmost priority is to satisfy our customers. This vision has transformed RATIONAL into a global market and technology leader. RATIONAL products are an integral part of industrial kitchens. With over 1,000,000 RATIONAL appliances on the market, our appliances have become a standard in professional kitchens all over the world. And what we're particularly happy about: 93% of our global customers confirm that RATIONAL offers maximum customer benefit. Definitely one reason why almost all of them would also recommend RATIONAL.

At 11,000 feet, water boils at 192°F. Avalanche closures rewrite the day in minutes. And the team still pushes up to 12,000 à la carte meals across 20 food and beverage operations at peak season.

Snowbird Resort relies on the iHexagon, RATIONAL’s intelligent high-speed combi with microwave power to:

• Cut cook times by half or more
• Eliminate hot holding entirely
• Deliver consistent quality from summit to valley

“With the technology of iHexagon, I really see cooking, especially in large scale à la carte services, to really have the ability to go where it hasn’t gone before with freshness and quality,” says Chef Ben Mogren.

Precision, built in.

From steaks to cakes, the iCombi Pro’s 6-point core temperature probe monitors internal food temperature across multiple measuring points, giving iCookingSuite the feedback it needs to hit your target core temperature and deliver repeatable results. By contrast, conventional cooking without a probe often leans on time and visual cues—yet color and appearance aren’t reliable indicators of doneness. With iCombi Pro’s monitoring and intelligence, the probe turns “best guess” into a standard you can repeat every single time. 🥩🎂
