Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Coastal Bakehouse' in Penzance were struggling with inconsistent results from their generic baking trays, which were warping in their new Rational oven. They decided to switch to genuine Rational accessories to match their investment.
"We were getting so frustrated with uneven bakes; some pastries would be perfect while others on the same tray were underdone. Switching to this proper Rational steam oven perforated tray has been brilliant. Everything comes out perfectly even now. No more hot spots, no more waste."
Samuel Jones – Owner & Head Baker
The switch resulted in a 95% reduction in baking inconsistencies and a significant drop in food waste, improving their profit margins.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash the tray with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Ensure your oven runners are clean and free from any grease or baked-on debris.
- Slide the tray into the runners carefully, making sure it's level and secure.
- For best results, pre-heat the tray with the oven for certain applications like pizza or bread.
Keeping It Going
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive chemicals, as they can damage the aluminium surface.
- For stubborn baked-on food, soak the tray in warm water and detergent before cleaning.
- Hand-washing is recommended to prolong the life and performance of the tray.
- Always store trays flat, not on their side, to prevent any warping over time.

Explore more from RationalWhy Perforations Mean a Perfectly Crispy Finish
Ever wondered why some chips are fluffy and others are just a bit... sad? It's often down to airflow. A standard solid tray is great for wet dishes, but it completely blocks heat from getting to the base of your food, trapping moisture and often leading to a soggy bottom. The perforations in this tray are the solution. Think of it like putting your food on a thousand tiny stilts. It allows the hot, dry air from your combi oven's fan to circulate completely around the food—top, sides, and crucially, underneath. This whisks away moisture and ensures every surface is evenly cooked and crisped to perfection. It’s the secret behind a truly crunchy chip and a perfectly flaky croissant base.
