THE WORKING VIEW

Why this accessory earns its place

The CombiFry is built around a single insight: steam-cooking frozen chips or pre-fried food takes half the space and a quarter of the oil of a traditional fryer, and it holds colour. Items go in pre-fried from an external fryer or batch-cooked frozen, then the combi-oven finishes them — steam to heat through, dry heat to crispen the exterior — all in the same cycle.

The basket holds quantity: you can load a 2/3 pan full of chips, croquettes, or fritters, then run ten pans back-to-back in a Rational SCC or CMP. No splattering oil, no long holds in a hot-box, no burnt edges from items at the back of the fryer. The design lets steam and dry heat reach every piece, so finish colour is uniform across the load. For event catering and high-volume service, this is the difference between serving hot, even chips at 22:00 and starting over at cold plates because the fryer queue got too long.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

Both work. Pre-fried items finish faster (colour and crisp in 4–6 minutes). Frozen items take longer (10–15 minutes) because the combi has to heat them through first. Plan timing accordingly, and let the combi come to full temperature before loading.

Load the pan into a Rational SCC or CMP that's already running a steam-finish cycle. Typical settings: 140–160°C with 30–50% humidity to steam-cook, then a final minute at 200°C dry heat to crisp. Your equipment manual has the exact sequence for your model.

Fill it to the top. The basket is designed to hold maximum load — there's no loss of quality by using full capacity. Stacking items tightly actually helps even cooking because they insulate each other.

Rational's CombiFry basket is stainless steel. It resists corrosion in normal kitchen use. Dry it after washing to prevent discolouration spots, and treat it like any other stainless steel pan.

No. The basket is engineered for Rational's equipment — the heating zones, moisture control, and cycling are matched to SCC and CMP ovens. In a different oven, the heat won't reach all items evenly.

The items sit in the basket and won't shift. You can carry a hot-loaded pan from the fryer area to the oven and from the oven to plating without spillage, as long as you're moving it level. Let it cool slightly before moving if it's piping hot.
