Deep-fried flavour, golden crispness – and no added oil? In today’s foodservice industry, we are looking for food that delivers on taste and health. The RATIONAL iCombi Pro, when paired with the innovative CombiFry accessory, offers exactly that: perfectly crispy results without the downsides of traditional deep-frying.
Whether you run a café, restaurant, hotel kitchen, hospital or education catering operation, this combination lets you serve healthier, more sustainable, and more cost-effective food – without compromising on flavour.
How Does Deep-Frying Without Oil Work?
Air frying uses hot air circulation to create the same crispy texture you’d expect from deep frying – but with little to no added oil. Inside the iCombi Pro, the advanced iHexagon air circulation system ensures every item is cooked evenly, locking in flavour while achieving that satisfying crunch.
With the CombiFry, this process works like a high-performance hot-air fryer for the hospitality industry – only it’s far more versatile. In the same unit, you can steam, grill, bake, roast, and more. That means one piece of equipment can replace multiple cooking appliances, saving space, time, and money.
