It is designed to provide a continuous supply of hot water for high-demand commercial environments — from hotel banqueting and contract catering through to busy staff restaurants and large canteens. The autofill function means the unit replenishes itself from the mains water supply without operator intervention, maintaining a ready reservoir throughout service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 135 litres, this is a substantial unit built to handle sustained throughput during extended service periods. The twin-tap configuration allows two members of staff to draw simultaneously, which meaningfully reduces bottlenecks during peak times such as morning coffee service or a large seated lunch. Recovery performance is a practical consideration at this capacity, and the three-phase hardwired supply this unit requires is what makes consistent, efficient heating at scale possible — something a single-phase unit of comparable size would struggle to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwin taps with swivel arms reduce spillage and keep the service area cleaner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutofill operation removes the need for manual monitoring or refilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow voltage switching adds a layer of operational safety in wet environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard diagnostics help maintenance staff identify issues quickly, reducing downtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCounter-mounted footprint keeps it accessible without consuming floor space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a three-phase hardwired electrical connection, which must be carried out by a qualified electrician. A mains cold water supply connection is also needed for the autofill function. The unit is counter-top mounted, but at 135 litres full it carries considerable weight — the supporting surface and any cabinetry beneath should be assessed for load-bearing capacity before installation. Access for routine servicing and descaling should also be factored into where the unit is positioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model is well suited to operations that need a reliable, high-capacity hot water supply running throughout a full service day — hotel F\u0026amp;B operations, large staff canteens, contract catering kitchens, and similar high-footfall environments. For smaller operations or sites without three-phase power, lower-capacity single-phase models are available. For very high-volume sites where demand consistently outpaces a 135-litre reservoir, a higher-output boiler may be worth considering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure whether this capacity and configuration is right for your operation, or if you have questions about the installation requirements for your site, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Instanta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39729590534204,"sku":"CTSV135T18","price":3797.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/ctsv135t.jpg?v=1634746790"},{"product_id":"rational-ivario-pro-xl-cooking-centre","title":"Rational iVario Pro XL Cooking Centre | 150L Bratt Pan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rational iVario Pro XL is a large-capacity electric cooking centre built around a single 150-litre pan. Unlike a conventional bratt pan, it is designed to handle a wide range of cooking methods — frying, boiling, blanching, deep frying, poaching, and slow or overnight cooking — within one piece of equipment. The control system is intelligent rather than manual, meaning it monitors and adjusts the cooking process in response to what is in the pan rather than simply maintaining a set temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a busy production kitchen, the headline advantage of the iVario Pro XL is consistency at volume. The ceramic heating technology, which Rational refers to as iVario Boost, responds quickly to temperature changes and distributes heat evenly across the pan base. When cold product is added in bulk — a common issue with conventional bratt pans — temperature recovery is fast enough that searing quality is maintained without the operator needing to compensate manually. This makes a practical difference during high-output service periods where the pan may be working continuously for several hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe iCooking Suite control intelligence is worth understanding before purchase. Rather than programming a temperature and walking away, the system tracks the cooking process and prompts the operator only when an action is needed — turning, adding liquid, lifting product. For sites with mixed-skill brigades or where consistency across shifts matters, this reduces the dependence on individual cook judgement. Automated functions such as Auto Lift for pasta are genuinely useful in production environments rather than being novelty features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn optional iZone Control function allows the pan base to be divided into independently controlled zones of variable size and position. This is useful when preparing smaller batches or different products simultaneously, and it means the full pan surface does not need to be heated when working at lower capacity. This option is specified and priced separately at order stage, so it is worth confirming requirements at the point of enquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent results across a broad range of cooking methods in a single pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast heat recovery reduces quality variation when adding cold product at volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligent control system reduces reliance on individual operator skill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional zone control allows simultaneous preparation of different products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOvernight and low-temperature cooking expands production scheduling options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of installation, the iVario Pro XL is an electric unit and will require an appropriate three-phase power supply. The pan is a substantial piece of equipment and the floor loading, access routes, and extraction requirements of the kitchen should all be confirmed before ordering. The unit is supplied without a stand as standard; height-adjustable stand options are available and worth discussing depending on operator ergonomics and workflow. A site visit from Rational or a specialist prior to purchase is genuinely advisable at this level of investment — not as a formality, but because the configuration options meaningfully affect day-to-day usability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe iVario Pro XL is best suited to high-volume operations: contract caterers, large staff restaurants, hospital or education catering, and production kitchens where throughput and consistency are the primary concerns. For smaller kitchens or lower service volumes, smaller capacity models in the iVario range are worth considering instead. Equally, sites with particularly demanding output requirements may benefit from a conversation about whether a single XL unit or multiple smaller units better fits the workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are weighing up the iVario Pro XL against other options, or want to understand how the configuration choices would work in your specific kitchen, our team is happy to talk it through — a conversation before ordering is usually time well spent on equipment at this level.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rational","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":9548678365244,"sku":"WW9ENRA.0002275","price":16377.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/products\/RationaliVario2XL.jpg?v=1599395245"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/collections\/filter_f7dda193-6770-488e-8124-eb507857c871.jpg?v=1522600587","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/collections\/120-to-150-litres.oembed","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
