Sponsored: Guests become regulars when restaurants deliver impressive results using RATIONAL kitchen equipment
To keep guests returning, restaurateurs face constant challenges. Food must be well presented, nutritious and consistently high in quality, even as costs continue to rise. At the same time, the shortage of skilled staff puts additional pressure on kitchens. One solution is innovative equipment that delivers reliable results and supports teams of all skill levels.
“The greatest compliment for a restaurateur is when guests return,” says Jacob De Klerk, Corporate Chef at RATIONAL Middle East. “That only happens when food both tastes and looks good.” Achieving this standard can be difficult with limited staff, which is why many operators rely on the iCombi Pro. This intelligent combi-steamer automatically plans and adjusts cooking processes based on the food and load size, ensuring consistent results every time.
The system combines precise heat and fresh steam in the right balance. Chefs simply select the dish or method on the display and load the iCombi Pro. From frying and grilling to baking, braising and steaming, it manages the process and alerts the user only when action is required. Whether handled by an experienced chef or a semi-skilled worker, the iCombi Pro guarantees the same high-quality results, service after service.
Al Safadi’s Executive Chef Omar Harbaly shares his experience using the RATIONAL iCombi Pro: “I can handle multiple tasks efficiently. Instead of staying near the cooking area, I dedicate my time to managing other responsibilities. With just the push of a button, I save recipes from the menu. In one oven I can use all cooking modes—steam, roast, or sear. This oven enhances time efficiency in the kitchen, giving me more time for other tasks.”
The combi-steamer also delivers reliable results in terms of taste, colour, and quality for multiple applications. “Pastry is a very sensitive product, and each item needs individual conditions. The iCombi Pro® was just the perfect solution for us. It controls the temperature and humidity. Thanks to its intelligence, the temperature inside the unit is uniform and stable. I can also adjust the fan speed when needed. One more value is the fact that the preheating, raising, and lowering of the temperature can be done immediately,” says Karim Bourgi, award-winning Pastry Chef.
The iCombi Pro is designed to help chefs deliver consistent, high-quality results. When paired with the right accessories, it ensures uniform cooking, exceptional flavour, and reliable presentation, service after service.
