Liam Sinclair – Refrigeration Expert View Profile →

  • Practical Design: The hinged lid that locks open is a simple but brilliant touch for busy chefs.
  • Manual Defrost: It's reliable but does require a little planned downtime, unlike automatic models.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Urban Griddle," a busy brunch spot in Leeds, needed to upgrade their prep station. Their existing setup was too cramped and  couldn't keep ingredients consistently cool, leading to delays during peak weekend service.

"Our brunch service is manic, and  we were losing time rummaging for ingredients. The Blizzard prep counter has completely organised our line. Everything is perfectly chilled, laid out, and  easy to grab. It’s made a huge difference to our speed and  consistency."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

The result? They have successfully reduced average order prep time by 25% during their busiest periods.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable surface with at least a few inches of clearance around the back and  sides for good airflow.
  • Once in position, let the unit stand for 4-6 hours before plugging it in to allow the refrigerant gas to settle.
  • Before you load it up, give the interior a quick wipe-down with a food-safe cleaner and  a damp cloth.
  • It uses a standard 13 amp plug, so just plug it into a regular wall socket – no special wiring needed!

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior and  interior daily with a soft cloth to maintain hygiene standards.
  • Regularly check that the air vents are not blocked by boxes or other equipment to ensure efficient cooling.
  • This is a manual defrost unit, so you'll need to power it down and  let any ice melt when it builds up.
  • Never use sharp objects or harsh chemicals to remove ice, as this can damage the cooling system.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Prep Counter

Not sure which prep counter is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Size and  Space

Always measure your available space first! This 2000mm unit is brilliant for larger kitchens with high output, but might be too big for a smaller café.

Cooling Type

Static cooling, like in this model, is perfect for delicate ingredients. Fan-assisted units offer faster temperature recovery but can sometimes dry food out.

Gastronorm Capacity

Think about your menu. This unit is designed for 1/3 GN pans, which are incredibly versatile for holding a wide variety of toppings and  fillings.

Build Material

A stainless steel gastronorm food prep counter is the industry standard for a reason. It's hygienic, hard-wearing, and  easy to keep looking professional.

Power Supply

Check you have a suitable socket nearby. A 13 amp 'plug and  play' unit like this is the simplest and  most convenient option for almost any kitchen.

Understanding Static Cooling: Why It's Great for Fresh Ingredients

Ever wondered what 'static cooling' actually means? It’s simpler than it sounds. Think of it like a traditional cold cellar rather than a modern, fan-assisted fridge. Instead of a fan blowing cold air around, a static system uses chilled plates or walls inside the unit to cool the air naturally. This gentle process is fantastic for a commercial salad prep counter because it stops delicate ingredients like salad leaves, sliced meats, and  cheeses from drying out. Your food stays fresher and  more appealing for longer, reducing waste and  ensuring every dish you serve is top-notch.
