The Energy-Wise feature on Rational's SelfCooking Centers can reduce energy consumption by up to 60% compared with conventional cookers, because the combi-ovens heat up so quickly, rising from room temperature to 300ºC in less than eight minutes.

The Overnight Cooking programme can save more energy by slow-cooking food at night outside of peak-time power consumption and will also cut shrinkage (by 20% when roasting a joint), which reduces the amount of raw ingredients needed.

The Centers' CalcDiagnosis System reduces the inefficiences that follow limescale build-up and the CombiFry basket accessories for pre-fried foods reduce the quantity of fat to be disposed of.

By replacing the need to buy separate deep fryers, stoves, boiling pans, tilt pans, convection ovens, steamers, toasters, grills, spits, r™tisseries and pizza ovens, the combi-ovens also replace up to 50% of a commercial kitchen's needs in a single unit.
