Prep refrigeration

The fastest kitchens keep ingredients chilled at the exact spot they are used. Prep refrigeration gathers saladette and prep counters, refrigerated workbenches and freezer workbenches — cold storage built into the work surface, so the line never walks for stock mid-service. Neutral benches live with work tables and counters. Examples include Maxima countertop prep fridges from 955 to 2000 mm taking three to nine 1/3 GN containers, saladettes with two or three doors and cutting boards, a pizza prep fridge with seven dough drawers, counter fridges and freezers from 90 to 223 cm and Vitrum bar refrigeration tables. Upright cabinets are in uprights and reach-ins.
