Hannah Cartwright – Buffet Equipment Expert View Profile →
- Practical Hygiene: The clear lid boosts sales while protecting food from contamination.
- Manual Cooling: Relies on pre-frozen packs, so not for all-day unattended use.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Slice, a bustling deli in Norwich, needed an effective way to showcase their range of freshly made wraps on a tight countertop space, moving away from cling film which looked unprofessional.
"It's made a huge difference to how our lunch items are perceived. They look so much more appealing and customers have commented on how fresh everything looks. It’s sturdy, easy to clean, and just works brilliantly."
Robert Green – Owner
The deli reported a noticeable increase in wrap sales, approximately 15% in the first month, attributing it directly to the improved presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Place the two cooling packs flat in your freezer for at least 6-8 hours, or until solid.
- Before first use, wash the tray and lid with warm, soapy water and a food-safe sanitiser.
- Once frozen, place the cooling packs into the black base and pop the stainless steel tray on top.
- Position the unit on a flat, stable counter, ideally away from direct sunlight or heat sources like coffee machines.
Keeping It Going
- Clean the tray and lid daily with a soft cloth and mild detergent to maintain hygiene.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals on the stainless steel tray or plastic lid.
- Always ensure cooling packs are fully re-frozen before each use for maximum performance.
- At the end of the day, return the clean cooling packs to the freezer so they're ready for tomorrow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long do the cooling packs keep food chilled for?
A: When fully frozen, they will typically keep contents cool for around 4-6 hours, depending on the ambient temperature of your room.
Q: Can I buy spare cooling packs?
A: Yes, replacement cooling packs are available, which is great for rotating them throughout the day to ensure continuous cooling.
Q: Is the stainless steel tray dishwasher safe?
A: For best results and to maintain its professional finish, we recommend hand-washing the tray. The plastic lid should also only be hand-washed.
Q: What is the roll-top lid made from?
A: The transparent lid is made from a durable, food-safe plastic that's designed to be tough while offering crystal-clear visibility.
Q: Is this unit heavy to move around?
A: Not at all. It weighs just 2.81kg, so it's designed to be easily lifted and repositioned on your counter whenever you need.
Q: What kind of food is this buffet roll top display tray best for?
A: It's perfect for sandwiches, wraps, cakes, pastries, individual salads, cheese portions, and other chilled snacks.
Q: Can I stack these units for more space?
A: These specific units are not designed to be stacked. However, a purpose-built double-decker version (Olympia CB794) is available if you need more display space.
Q: Does the lid come off completely for cleaning?
A: Yes, the unit is designed to be easily taken apart, allowing you to thoroughly clean the base, tray, and lid separately.
The Unseen Advantage: Building Trust with Smart Presentation

Explore more from APSHow Passive Cooling Keeps Your Costs Down
Ever wondered how this tray stays cold without a plug? It uses a clever 'passive cooling' system, powered by the two included freezer packs. Think of it like a high-tech picnic cool box designed for your countertop. You simply freeze the packs overnight, and they act like silent, efficient engines, radiating cold upwards through the conductive stainless steel tray. This process keeps your food at a safe, appealing temperature for hours. It gives you all the benefits of chilling — freshness, safety, and happy customers — without the cost, noise, or placement restrictions of a plugged-in refrigerated unit. You can pop it anywhere you like!
