Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Anchor Inn in Salcombe, Devon, needed a way to cope with the huge demand for fish and chips during the summer tourist season without installing another bulky deep fryer. They invested in several Rational CombiFry trays to use in their existing iCombi Pro oven.
"The CombiFry trays have completely streamlined our service. We can now produce perfectly crisp, golden chips for hundreds of covers a day with the press of a button. The consistency is spot on, and we've significantly cut down on our oil purchasing and disposal costs."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
This simple change allowed them to increase their output of 'fried' sides by over 50% during peak hours without any extra capital expenditure on fryers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the tray is clean and dry before use.
- For best results, arrange food in a single layer without overcrowding the tray.
- Slide the tray securely into the 1/1 GN racking in your Rational combi oven.
- Use the corresponding cooking path on your oven for pre-fried products for perfect results.
Keeping It Going
- Clean after every use to prevent food residue from baking on.
- The stainless steel construction makes it fully dishwasher safe.
- For stubborn residue, soak in warm, soapy water before cleaning.
- Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive cleaners which can damage the surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Rational CombiFry tray dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, absolutely. It's made from durable stainless steel and is designed for easy cleaning in any commercial dishwasher.
Q: What does 1/1 GN mean?
A: 1/1 GN refers to the standard 'Gastronorm' size, which is approximately 530 x 325mm. It's the standard full-size tray for most commercial combi ovens.
Q: Can I use this tray in a non-Rational oven?
A: While it may physically fit in other 1/1 GN ovens, it is specifically engineered for the airflow and cooking programmes of Rational combi ovens to achieve optimal results.
Q: Do I need to add any oil when using the CombiFry tray?
A: It's designed for use with pre-fried products (like frozen chips), which already contain some oil. You do not need to add any extra oil or fat.
Q: What kind of foods can I cook with this?
A: It's perfect for a wide range of pre-fried and breaded items, including chips, French fries, wedges, onion rings, spring rolls, chicken nuggets, and fish cakes.
Q: Is this the same as the Rational CombiFry basket?
A: This item is the tray-style grid. The term 'basket' is often used interchangeably, but this is the flat, perforated 1/1 GN tray.
Q: How many portions of chips can it hold?
A: This depends on the portion size, but for best results, you should cook in a single, even layer. For large quantities, it's better to use multiple trays.
Q: Is the material prone to rust?
A: No, it's made from high-quality stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion in a professional kitchen environment.
The Rational Ecosystem: More Than Just an Accessory
Investing in a genuine Rational accessory like the CombiFry tray isn't just about buying a piece of metal; it's about maximising the potential of your entire cooking system. Rational ovens are renowned for their intelligent cooking processes (iCookingSuite), which automatically adjust time, temperature, and climate. This tray is precision-engineered to work in perfect harmony with that technology. The specific size and pattern of the perforations are no accident—they are calculated to allow the oven's sensors and fans to deliver exactly the right amount of hot air to every corner of the tray. This synergy between hardware and software is what guarantees absolute consistency, reduces food waste from bad batches, and ultimately delivers a higher quality, more profitable product for your business day in, day out.
Explore more from RationalWhy the Perforated Design Delivers a Superior Crunch
Ever wonder why chips from a CombiFry come out so much better than just baking them on a normal tray? It's all down to the meticulously engineered perforations. This isn't just a tray with holes in it; it's a specialised tool for managing airflow. Think of it like a conductor's baton for the hot air inside your combi oven. Instead of letting food sit and steam on a solid surface, the perforations allow the oven's powerful fan to push hot, dry air all around every single item on the tray. This '360-degree cooking' method blasts moisture away from the surface, which is the secret to achieving that deep-fried, golden-brown crunch without the deep fryer. It ensures every chip, wedge, or nugget is evenly cooked and perfectly crisp, from the centre of the tray to the very edges.
