RATIONAL AG Launches the iHexagon, Renovating the Professional Kitchen Sector

RATIONAL AG is starting the year with a world first: the launch of the iHexagon, intelligently combining steam, hot air and microwave technology. This new product promises the best food quality in the shortest possible time, distributing energy equally across all media of its 6-1/1 unit. The introduction of this equipment represents a significant innovation for RATIONAL, after the combi-steamer and the iVario.

During an online presentation at the end of February, Markus Paschmann, Sales and Marketing Director at RATIONAL, with his Research and Development team, highlighted the "iClimateBoost". This function precisely adjusts steam, convection and microwave heat depending on the type of food, allowing you to produce high quality food in record time.

The iHexagon particularly targets customers looking to combine quality and speed, being ideal for meals in large quantities or catered events. Its autonomous cleaning system, iCareSystem AutoDose, also ensures increased safety and reduced costs. Thanks to its connection with ConnectedCooking, RATIONAL's digital kitchen management system, the iHexagon simplifies use in kitchens with standardized processes.

RATIONAL envisions the iCombi and iVario as primary solutions for most professional kitchens, positioning the iHexagon as a specialist solution. The product is now available in Germany, the UK and the USA, with other countries to follow. Paschmann sees this launch as the start of a “new era”.
