"One of the greatest things that we've achieved with the Rational intelligent cooking systems is that we know exactly what we need. And now that we've created a system whereby sauces are not made in pounds, you've got extra left over, it gets chucked away, you've made too much, that's got to go. In terms of the actual cooking of the products, being able to blast chill the products, making sure they've got longer shelf life by vac packing the products".(Rehan Uddin, Owner & Chef of Indi-Yang).
