Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Cairn Hotel in Inverness needed to streamline their kitchen process for their popular Sunday carvery service. Handling vast quantities of boiled vegetables and  potatoes was becoming a bottleneck, so they invested in genuine Rational iVario 2S accessories alongside their new unit.

"We were manually draining huge, heavy pots, which was slow and  frankly, a bit dangerous. This basket drops in, lifts out, and  the job's done. Our team can now plate up much faster, and  the kitchen feels calmer and  more organised."

Ewan McGregor – Executive Chef

This simple addition helped them reduce veg prep and  plating time by an estimated 25%, allowing them to serve guests more efficiently during their busiest periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, remove all protective packaging from the basket.
  • Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Ensure your iVario 2S cooking pan is clean and  ready.
  • Simply lower the basket into the unit – no tools or fitting required!

Keeping It Going

  • After cooking, remove any large food particles to prevent them from baking on.
  • The basket is 100% commercial dishwasher safe for a simple, hygienic clean.
  • For any stubborn residue, soak and  use a non-abrasive pad.
  • Store it in a clean, dry place when not in use to maintain its condition.
