Solid Swing Door Commercial Prep Fridge

The pizza and sandwich prep fridges are designed to prepare pizzas and sandwiches. Due to its reduced dimensions and multiple functionalities, this preparation counter is a refrigerated appliance used in fast-food establishments, pizzerias, and sandwich bars. In addition, the refrigerated structure is designed to contain GN containers in which you may keep the various ingredients necessary for producing the finished products. These preparation tables exist in 2 and 3 doors variants.

An efficient and hygienic serving method is necessary for professional catering and fast food environments. Commercial sandwich prep fridges are versatile refrigeration appliances that can be useful in any front catering establishment. These prep tables are also ideal for catering professionals who have limited space. They will also allow you to keep your food cool while serving as a work surface.

Pizza and sandwich prep fridges are a must-have in any professional kitchen. But how do you decide which type of prep fridge to purchase with the multiple options available in the market?

These pizza and sandwich prep fridges perfectly combine a refrigeration system and an adequate workspace to prepare your pizza, salads, sandwiches and fast food. There are a variety of sizes, styles and options available. However, keep a few primary considerations in mind:

What are the different types of refrigerated prep tables?

Sandwich prep fridges

This prep table is much more versatile than the pizza fridges. However, despite their similarity, the sandwich prep fridges are shallower and perfectly suited for sandwiches and subs.

Pizza Fridges

On the other hand, the pizza prep table or pizza fridges offer a deeper surface with storage space that can accommodate larger ingredient containers.

What are some essential features that you must check?

Table Size

Choosing the prep table size carefully is vital because it must fit perfectly in the intended place. The size of the tables varies from 1200mm and can go up to 2000mm. Each offers different benefits. Smaller prep tables are ideal for limited space kitchens but contain less storage. On the other hand, large tables offer a lot more surface area for food preparation and plenty of storage.

Are you serving more sandwiches? In this case, you will be better served with a table offering a large work surface. Another thing to consider when buying a prep table is the number of ingredients you will use when preparing the food. In this case, a large table will give you more space to have your ingredients close at hand.

Doors and Drawers

Should you choose a table with doors, drawers or a combination of both? First, be aware that preparation tables with drawers are more ergonomic and are easier to access than doors. In addition, they offer the best storage-to-space ratio.

The most important thing is to carefully weigh the pros and cons of each when making a choice. In particular, doors and drawers can complicate the routine of smaller kitchens depending on where the prep table is set up. In any case, one must consider the use, space and traffic around the preparation table before making a choice.

How to determine the ease of preparation?

Again, it is essential to know exactly the use of the commercial sandwich prep fridges and commercial pizza fridges before making a choice. Some food prep tables offer more storage for ingredients and less work surface, while others provide the complete opposite.

The standard surface

Generally, such a prep table has two rows of containers for ingredients and space for condiments. It also offers a good preparation surface with easy access to the refrigerator. It is ideal for the preparation of sandwiches and salads.

"Mega top" prep tables

These units can easily hold 50% more ingredient containers than standard models. These prep tables are ideal for restaurants and sandwich counters regularly serving various ingredients and condiments.

Cutting surfaces

These tables have a deeper cutting surface with the same benefits as the standard unit. This unit is perfect for more complex menus, larger sandwiches and salads.

What Refrigeration Technologies do prep tables feature?

Several methods are available for refrigeration.

Air Cooled

Air cooled units are the perfect starter solution. Indeed, this system is standard for sandwich preparation tables, as they require little maintenance.

Cold wall

This model, mainly for pizza tables, allows you to configure the storage spaces according to your needs. On the other hand, this system can sometimes generate differences in the temperature of the containers.

Cooling liquid

The newest in terms of refrigeration, this system is mainly used for cold buffets. These models are the best option for keeping the ingredients at an even temperature but are also the most expensive.
