THE WORKING VIEW

Why this cooking center earns its place

A multifunctional cooker that handles boiling, shallow frying, and deep frying within a single stainless steel tilt-pan. The 50-litre capacity suits kitchens preparing batches for 100+ covers in one hit. A single machine replaces a separate stockpot, fryer tank, and braising pan—useful when space is tight and you need flexibility across service.

The iVario range is built for continuous kitchen work. Tilting the pan lets you empty it easily without lifting or pouring—safer with hot oil or boiling stock. The multifunctional design means one set of controls and one piece of equipment to maintain, rather than coordinating three separate machines. Rational's build reputation sits on robust construction and reliable heating elements designed for punishing daily use.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Questions, answered straight

Fill to 80 % (40L) for safe boiling and frying. Larger loads reduce circulation around the contents, slowing cook time and risking uneven results. Stay within 40L for consistent output.

Technically yes, but not advisable. If you're switching between oil and stock, drain and clean the pan between tasks. Oil residue in stock clouds the dish and affects the boiling temperature.

Rational's heating elements are designed for rapid recovery—typically 15–20 minutes for a full load, depending on supply temperature and gas/electric power. Once hot, the recovery between batches is faster.

The tilt lets you pour contents into a nearby bowl, tray, or drain without lifting a heavy pan of hot liquid. Safer for staff, faster work, and no spillage. The tilt lock keeps it level during cooking.

Yes, but the depth matters. Deep frying requires headroom to prevent oil boil-over. Use the same 80 % fill rule—40L of oil—and monitor the surface. Never leave a fryer unattended while hot.

Annual inspection of the heating element, tilt mechanism, and control thermostat. Contact 01792 732702 to schedule a service visit. Most kitchens service just before a busy season (spring for Easter events, late summer for festivals).
