Woodlands Primary school, and their award-wining Chef Holly Charnock have transformed how the kitchen functions with RATIONAL cooking systems, resulting in the creation of healthy dishes for the pupils. Catering for 240 children, Holly uses an iCombi Pro 10-1/1 combi-steamer and iVario Pro 2-S multifunctional bratt pan, saving significant space and take advantage of accelerated cooking times.

The iCombi Pro plays a vital “My first impression of the iCombi Pro was just how different it was to the traditional oven that we had. The settings that we can put it on, the timer is invaluable for us, I can put the oven on and walk away and do something else, and it will tell me when it’s cooked, I don’t have to worry about remembering.” The iVario multifunctionality replaces other cooking appliances and pans that a traditional kitchen school would normally have. “It was so new age, shiny, sleek. Initially, we thought, how are we going to cook in this? We’re used to pots and pans and a big old-fashioned oven, however, it took us maybe two or three days and we fell in love”.
