Summer temperatures are back, putting valuable food
inventory at greater risk of damage and spoilage. It’s a good time to assess every
stage of your operation and take measures to protect food from high
temperatures in the kitchen and outdoors.
Whatever the application—small or large, mobile or fixed, electric
or non-electric, inside or out—here’s a guide to maintaining proper cold food
temperatures for quality, safety, and waste reduction across your foodservice
operation.
Storage and Prep
Delfield
4400 Series Prep Tables provide an integrated, space-efficient solution for
salad, sandwich, and other meal preparation needs.
Consistent cold temperatures
of 36°F to 40°F keep food safe, meal quality high, and food waste costs low.
An air screen ensures product stays cold without drying it out.
All 4400
series units are 100% front breathing, so they can be safely pushed against a
wall or built in.
Your walk-in cooler does the critical job of keeping food at
the proper storing temperature and humidity.
From plug-and-play options
such as Polar-Pak and KoldFront walk-ins to semi-custom EpiK Walk-Ins to custom
solutions, Kolpak
can save you money on the overall cost of ownership.
A wide variety of
efficient walk-in systems feature the latest technologies and top-notch
insulating capabilities to help you ensure that your valuable food investment
is protected.
Merchandising
The Reveal Refrigerated Self-service Mobile Case by Structural Concepts is a
self-service display for merchandising cold foods and beverages for grab ‘n go. A
dual handrail/bumper, leveling and locking casters, and evaporator pan splash
guard support mobility and flexibility.
Reveal’s
EnergyWise Refrigeration System minimizes energy consumption.
The Cambro Mobile Flex Station creates instant, adaptable, and space-saving merchandising
wherever you need it. Cambro offers five different pre-packaged Mobile
Flex Station configurations that can be accessorized with Cambro food pans,
food boxes, GoBags, and GoBoxes to maximize capacity and meet changing
needs.
Place CP814159 Camchillers in
the bottom of food boxes for short-term, non-electric merchandising of cold
foods.
The Cambro CVC75 Vending
Cart Base Unit offers eye-catching merchandising for approximately
72, 12-ounce bottles or cans in ice. A large open serving well provides
high-capacity merchandising with an in-well drain on both sides and a ball
valve drain release underneath for efficient drainage. The well also fits
5 full-sized, 6" deep hotel pans sitting directly on Cambro Buffet
Camchillers to help keep beverages (or food) cold.
Buffets and Salad Bars
The stainless steel TableCraft Wave Round Beverage Tub has a generous 6.75 gallon capacity and a style equally at home in informal and casually elegant settings. This 19"x19"x9" beverage tub has plenty of room to ice down anything from bottles of beer, champagne, or white wine to soda cans or smoothie cartons. Perfect for both indoor and outdoor events, its double wall construction insulates and limits condensation, keeping beverages colder longer.
Stainless steel Cooling Plates by TableCraft keep food chilled for up to 3 hours. Available in Half,
Half Long, and Full sizes, use these elegant chillers separately, on stands, or
in a cooling base station.
The 3-Tiered Half Long Cooling Display shown
here (#CW40309B) includes three half-size Cooling Plates and Black Powder
Coated Stand to save space and show off product. Components are also sold
separately.
Buffet Camchillers can be used in a variety of serving applications to
support cold food temperatures without the potential hazards of ice.
One side serves as
both a chiller and a riser for a 2" deep, full-sized food pan so it’s
level with the rail. Flip over to snugly hold a 4" deep, full-sized food
pan level with the rail. Freeze Buffet Camchillers overnight prior to use.
Cambro ColdFest Pans and Crocks are made with an impact-resistant shell filled with non-toxic refrigerant gel. Before using, freeze upside down overnight and fill with pre-chilled foods to keep contents cold for hours. Use in Versa Salad Bars and buffets, or outdoors or on service counters to help keep condiments chilled. Cover with optional clear, flat covers to help protect against cross-contamination.
Holding and Transport
Non-electric
Cambro insulated transporters like the
1318CC and UPC300 help maintain safe temperatures for at least four hours,
whether for cold food or hot food. The Cambro Camchiller provides additional defense against cold loss. The
Camchiller can be used to pre-chill Cambro carriers or carts before loading,
maximize cold food holding by using with chilled food, and
minimize temperature gain when the door is opened and closed. Freeze the
Camchiller flat for 8 hours before use.
Camtainer Insulated Beverage Servers keep cold beverages cold without electricity. Ideal
for catering and outdoor events, this heavy duty insulated server has
rust-proof plastic latches that secure lids tight and a vent cap to equalize pressure.
A recessed faucet eliminates drips and ensures even dispensing, with continuous
and individual pouring positions.
Sturdy, modular Cambro GoBox Beverage Holders safely transport and hold cold drinks without
spills or temperature loss. Interlocking units connect to hold up to 15
drinks in any Full-Size Top Loader GoBox
or up to 6 drinks in any Half-Size Top Loader GoBox.
Durable expanded polypropylene material of the GoBox and
drink holders maintains cold temperatures for 3 hours. Tapered compartments fit
multiple cup sizes of hot or cold cups from 8 to 32 ounces.
All-weather SlidingLid™ Ice Caddies by Cambro are made with thick CFC-free foam insulation and
rotomolded shell to hold ice for days without cracking, denting, bubbling, or
rusting. The lid conveniently slides back and under during use, reducing risk
of cross-contamination, while a recessed well and drain shelf keeps ice out of
water to minimize melting. Molded-in, ergonomic handles and stable, strong
caster options make it easy to move wherever you need it.
FWE Refrigerated Transport Cabinets are built tough to easily handle the
demands of transport, making them ideal for satellite operations, on-site
catered events, and backup cold holding for buffets and cafeterias.
With
excellent “pull-down” times that are required to reach safe operating
conditions, they feature extra insulation around the entire cabinet, including
the base.
This energy-efficient design holds cold temperatures and protects
perishables wherever they travel, from hot kitchen to transport vehicle to
serving location.
Serving
Hatco Drop-in Frost Tops are designed to hold quick-turnaround, pre-chilled food products
at ideal and safe temperatures for serving.
Each unit features auto-defrost,
activated through a programmable advanced electronic controller. Environmentally-friendly
insulation on the sides and bottom ensures better cold retention.
Offered in a
wide variety of sizes in aluminized steel and simulated stone surface finishes.
The TableCraft 3 Quart Polycarbonate Pitcher with Center Ice Core is perfect for any fast-paced bar, restaurant,
buffet, or catered event. This dishwasher safe pitcher features an ice core to
keep drinks cold without diluting them.
Fill with beer, soda, punch, water,
juice, iced tea, or any number of other chilled beverages. Your servers can
carry the pitcher or leave at the table for easy sharing.
Delivery
Insulated delivery bags are important year-round, but rapid and
potentially dangerous spoilage of summer foods like mayonnaise-based salads and
dressings make them even more critical. Cambro GoBags are made of heavy duty, high-denier fabrics and thick insulation to
support proper temperatures.
Reinforced stitching and heavy-duty straps keep
the bag in great shape, even after many washings.
