What Chefs Seek in Refrigeration: The unsung hero of every professional kitchen
In the intensely busy world of professional kitchens, refrigeration is the backbone of chef’s operations. From preserving ingredients’ freshness, to ensuring food safety standards are met, the right refrigeration equipment can make or break a culinary masterpiece. But what exactly do chefs look for when it comes to refrigeration? Let’s delve into the main factors.
Reliability
Above all, chefs look for refrigeration equipment they can rely on, day in and day out. Unplanned breakdowns can spell disaster in a busy kitchen, leading to costly food spoilage and disrupted service. Chefs prioritize refrigeration units known for their durability and consistent performance, minimizing the risk of unexpected failures and costs. When looking for the most robust refrigeration, ask other chefs for their experience with certain equipment to reassure you that whatever refrigeration you choose, not only will it last, but if it ever does break down you’ll receive the best/ quickest service from the company.
Temperature Control
Maintaining precise temperature control is non-negotiable in the world of professional cooking. Chefs require refrigeration solutions capable of holding specific temperatures for different types of ingredients, from delicate produce to perishable proteins. The ability to adjust settings accurately and quickly is paramount to preserving food quality and extending shelf life. Adande gives you the flexibility to set the temperature of your refrigeration unit to within 0.1 °C to suit the food you are holding. You are able also to change the temperature, from fridge to freezer and back again, as you need.
Space Efficiency
Chefs look for under counter fridges that maximise storage capacity without taking up too much valuable space. The Adande design allows for seamless placement of combi ovens on top, as well as doubling up as a convenient prep counter surface, great for orders on deck. Stackability with Adande units (up to 3 drawers) also means you can take true advantage of your kitchen space, with the option of having a blast chill function included. That’s the perfect under counter refrigerator freezer!
