Smoking Hot
Rational’s VarioSmoker is a new combi-steamer accessory that smokes meat, fish and vegetables using wood chips or pellets, which impart a smoked taste. Through variation in temperature and preparation time, chefs can control the flavour and intensity of foods. The machine allows them to cook and smoke food simultaneously, saving time, space and money.
