RATIONAL SelfCooking Center simplifies Thanksgiving celebrations for foodservice operators

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. – July 27, 2010 – Operations with RATIONAL SelfCooking Centers don’t have to stress over preparing the Thanksgiving feast. A 202 SelfCooking Center unit can prepare up to fifteen, 20-pound birds in less than three hours, as opposed to five hours using conventional cooking equipment. Chefs have something to be thankful for because they can save labor time and still produce a high-quality dinner with significantly less effort.
 
The SelfCooking Center can prepare high-quality turkey because it automatically determines, then regulates the optimal combination of steam and heat. The circulation of the air accelerates the cooking process, but does not dry out the meat. Not only is the cooking process faster, but the end results are superior because the meat remains moist and flavorful. Another benefit is that the cooking process does not require monitoring or basting, saving time to focus on the other details of the feast.

“In regard to turkey, what used to take us four to five hours to prepare, the SelfCooking Center prepares in about two and a half hours,” said David Hemdal, executive chef at the Strongbow Inn, Valparaiso, In. “I can fit 10 to 12 whole birds in the 202 unit, the capacity and efficiency enables us to produce a lot of turkey per day,” said Hemdal.

The turkey is not the only classic Thanksgiving menu item that can be prepared in the SelfCooking Center. Other staples including the corn, stuffing, potatoes and rolls can be prepared just as efficiently in the unit with ease and quality results due to the 57 various cooking processes.

“SelfCooking Center owners can’t believe that they ever prepared Thanksgiving meals without it because of the amazing, quality results it provides in a fraction of the time it took to prepare the food with conventional equipment,” said Steve Snitkin, RATIONAL corporate executive chef.

The Chicken and Duck Superspike accessory also simplifies the preparation and improves the results of preparing other poultry, including chicken and duck. As with the turkey, the cooking time is expedited and the results are improved with minimal product yield loss. The SelfCooking Center 202 unit can roast up to 96 whole chickens in only 35 minutes.

To experience the efficiency and quality results of the SelfCooking Center first hand, operators can sign up for a TeamCooking Live event by visiting RATIONAL's website. The free educational events take place weekly at more than 50 venues nationwide.
