Metos iVario Pro XL+, with capacity of 150 L and cooking surface 59 dm2.
Equipped with pressure cooking option and solid substructure.
Metos iVario is one of the most modern cooking systems for maximum
productivity, flexibility and simplicity when boiling, frying,
deep-frying and pressure cooking, and therefore replaces
almost all conventional cooking appliances. Its unique heating
technology offers maximum power and precision, and thanks to its
intelligent cooking assistants, who thinks and supports
you to achieve outstanding food quality every time, without any
monitoring or checking. Up to 4 times as fast, with up to 40% less
energy and a huge space gain compared to conventional cooking
appliances. This means that an iVario will pay for itself within just a
few months.
iVarioBoost
iVarioBoost is the patented heating technology made from ceramic heating
elements, which are connected with the fast-response, scratch-resistant
high-performance pan base. Therefore, the iVario heats the pan evenly to
200 oC (392 °F) in less than 2.5 minutes and quickly reduces its
temperature, if necessary.
At the same time, there is enough reserve capacity available to quickly
absorb temperature fluctuations when searing large quantities or pouring
in liquid. For you this means maximum
performance, but also no sticking or boiling over. The device delivers
great results and boosts productivity by as much as fourfold, while
reducing cooking losses by 17 % and energy
consumption by 40 %.
iCookingSuite
The iCookingSuite is your intelligent cooking assistance for the iVario,
providing ease of use and the greatest possible support for cooking.
Intelligent sensors in the pan base recognise
the load size, the condition and size of the food, and continually
adjust the cooking process. As soon as you need to take some action, the
iCookingSuite will let you know. For you this means full reliability and
a high standard of quality. At the same time, you save on monitoring,
time, raw materials and energy.
iZoneControl
With iZoneControl, you can divide the pan base into individual heating
zones and operate them with different temperatures or cooking paths.
Areas that are not in use are not heated.
This makes one big iVario into four little iVarios. You specify the
desired result and start the cooking sequence for the desired zones. As
the iZoneControl makes suggestions as to which
zone is best for your foods, you can work even more efficiently, and
save time and energy. For you, this means high flexibility, time savings
and always having everything under control.
Programming mode
With the program management, manual programs can be intuitively created
and intelligent cooking paths can be saved and clearly managed with
their customised settings.
> Boiling: 30 °C – boiling temperature
> Roasting: 30 °C – 250 °C
> Deep-frying: 30 °C – 180 °C
