Landsberg am Lech, October 2008
The RATIONAL success story has reached yet another high point. In October 2008 the 400,000th unit left the factory of the world market leader in commercial kitchen technology.
SelfCooking Center® continues its success
Dr. Günter Blaschke, Chairman of the Board of RATIONAL AG: “The 400,000th unit is a milestone in the history of our company. We are especially pleased about the enthusiasm which our latest innovation, the SelfCooking Center, has triggered throughout the world. The growth potential of this very young technology is still enormous, and we have already set our sights on the 500,000th unit.
From the first combi-steamer to the SelfCooking Center®
In 1976 RATIONAL invented the combi-steamer technology. The equipment of the first series was limited to the two modes “Dry heat” and “Steam”. Ventilation was performed manually with the “Regulating flap for fresh air flushing” Thanks to continuous further development, the combi-steamer became more advanced, but also increasingly complicated to use.
With the invention of the Rational SelfCooking Center®, cooking has now become simpler than it was 30 years ago: the chef only has to enter the desired result – the intelligence of the SelfCooking Center® guarantees the optimum cooking process and therefore always produces perfect results.
