About Rational Combi Ovens

Combi ovens combine three cooking methods: convection cooking, steam cooking, and combination cooking. The convection mode circulates dry heat for pastries and breads, while steam mode poaches fish, rice and vegetables. The combination mode maintains precise humidity levels for superior cooking control.

Rational combi ovens control humidity inside the chamber, maintaining the desired atmosphere to reduce shrinkage and weight loss while improving cook times. At 100% relative humidity, you can cook with high heat without burning or drying out food products.

Frequently Asked Questions – Second Hand Rational Ovens

Should I buy a new or second hand Rational combi oven?

The decision depends on your budget and kitchen requirements. New Rational ovens offer the latest technology, full manufacturer warranty, and zero operational hours. Second hand Rational ovens provide 40-60% cost savings while delivering the same cooking performance, making them ideal for start-ups, budget-conscious operations, or kitchens seeking backup equipment. For high-volume operations requiring maximum uptime, new units are recommended. For lower-volume kitchens or those with experienced service partners, second hand units offer excellent value.

What’s the price difference between new and used Rational ovens?

New Rational iCombi Pro 10-grid models retail from £8,000-£10,000, while second hand versions range from £4,000-£6,000 depending on age and condition. New 6-grid models start around £5,500, with used equivalents from £2,500-£3,500. Ex-demo units (less than 12 months old) offer 20-30% savings. Older SCC models provide the greatest savings at 50-60% off new prices.

Are used Rational ovens reliable?

Yes, Rational combi ovens are engineered for longevity with proper maintenance. Many used units have 5-10 years of operational life remaining. Professional reconditioning, which includes servicing, cleaning, and parts replacement, ensures reliable performance. At Anglia Catering Equipment, all second hand Rational ovens are tested and come with warranty coverage. Rational’s robust build quality means even 10-year-old units can deliver consistent results when properly maintained.

What warranty comes with second hand Rational ovens?

Second hand and reconditioned Rational ovens from Anglia Catering Equipment include warranty coverage. Terms vary by unit age and condition, typically 3-6 months on parts.

How do I choose between Rational models (iCombi Pro vs Classic vs SCC)?

The iCombi Pro is Rational’s latest range with advanced features like intelligent rack monitoring and cloud connectivity via ConnectedCooking. The iCombi Classic offers proven technology at lower cost, ideal for straightforward cooking operations. SCC (SelfCookingCenter) models are older but remain highly capable, perfect for budget-conscious buyers. For high-volume operations, choose iCombi Pro.
