Simon Lloyd and Jason Cunliffe went to Wittelsheim in France courtesy of Rational AG for two days to see and learn about the highly innovative VarioCookingCenter.
The concept of the VarioCookingCenter was originally conceived and produced by Frima and proved to be immensely popular especially in Europe due to the increased efficacy and performance it had to offer.
The Frima unit on its own offers significant benefits but when combined with a Rational combination oven the synergy between the appliances was such that virtually no other appliances were needed for a total cooking solution. The appliances compliment each other so well that Rational bought the company and incorporated its own control system which any user of the Rational ovens will be familiar with.
