Choosing the Right Salad Prep Fridges for Your Business

The salad prep fridges collection covers 66 refrigerated preparation counters for cafes, delis, sandwich bars, takeaways and salad bars. These units combine a chilled top well that holds gastronorm pans of prepared ingredients with refrigerated storage underneath, in two-door and three-door widths. FED-X, Thermaster and Turbo Air are among the brands in the range.

Size the counter by the number of doors and the top well width, since that decides how many pans of ingredients are within reach during service. Check whether the top is refrigerated or simply insulated, because a refrigerated well holds ingredients at temperature through a long service while an insulated one relies on the pans being cold when loaded. Bench height and depth matter where the unit joins an existing run. A lid over the well protects ingredients between orders.
