So, what's new about the product?
The Rational SelfCooking Center is the first combi that doesn't need a water filter, never needs descaling and tells you when it needs to be cleaned. You just pop in the cleaning tabs - it then cleans itself.
Why is it so special?
It will slash running costs, save space and help protect the environment.
Why should people buy it?
For all the reasons above, plus the fact that it bakes and cooks everything just so. It will prove and is ideal for bake-off. All you have to do is push the relevant button for bread, cakes, pies, pizzas and so on.
So, explain the techie stuff
The CareControl system monitors what's being cooked and for how long, telling staff to run the cleaning programme when required. At that point, the operator simply places biodegradable tablets ('care tabs') into the unit's drawer, puts detergent tablets into the basket in the cooking cabinet and pushes the button - the Rational then cleans itself.
The technology determines what level of cleaning is required. For example, if the machine has been used for baking bread, it will require less cleaning than if it's been roasting chicken. This saves time and effort and means running costs are reduced.
Bottom line, what's the product worth?
It will save hundreds of pounds a year in running costs. And the way the SelfCooking Center bakes means results are always consistent.
