RATIONAL® CombiMaster® (CM) - 20 x 1/1 GN, Electric
About this oven
The RATIONAL® CombiMaster® (CM) is a manual-control combi oven designed for chefs who want full control, reliability and consistent performance every day. Built to Rational's engineering standards, it covers steam, convection and combination cooking in a single cabinet, so you can roast, bake, steam, grill, poach and regenerate without switching equipment or finding floor space for a second appliance.
Where an automated combi makes the decisions, the CombiMaster® hands them to you. A mode selector with separate dials for cabinet temperature, core temperature and time means there's nothing to navigate mid-service, and anyone can be shown how to run it in five minutes.
What you get:
• Three cooking modes - steam, hot air and combination, used individually, in sequence or together, to commercial combi-steamer standard
• ClimaPlus® humidity control - the oven manages cabinet moisture automatically, without a humidity setting to adjust
• Core temperature probe - cook large joints to a precise internal finish instead of to the clock
• Multi-speed fan system - even heat distribution across a full load • Integrated steam generator - fresh steam on demand, no filling and no warm-up wait
• Seamless stainless steel cabinet with rounded corners, integrated splash guard and double-glazed door, built for fast wipe-downs at the end of service
There are no automatic cooking programmes, cleaning is semi-automatic and requires a CTU (Water treatment unit) to prevent scale. What you get in exchange is far less electronics than an automated combi: less to fail, and a large part of why these ovens are still working daily shifts twenty years after they were built.
