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 - Unit description and functional features
Intelligent functions: > Intelligent energy and temperature
management with high power reserves and accurate heat distribution over
the entire pan surface area > Intelligent cooking path control for
automatic adaptation of the cooking process to the defined desired
result e.g. browning and degree of cooking to achieve this safely and
efficiently, regardless of the operator, the amount of food to be cooked
and the loaded volume > Intelligent, automatic lifting of boiling and
deep-frying baskets for perfect cooking results, optimal ergonomics and
resource efficiency > Accurate monitoring and calculation to
