  What is a refrigerated preparation table?

  The refrigerated preparation table (refrigerated saladette table) is an essential element for restaurant professionals, offering a remarkable two-in-one solution for storing fresh products while allowing for direct preparation. This multifunctional furniture serves not only as a storage area for temperature-controlled ingredients but also as an organized space for utensils and dishes, thus optimizing efficiency in the kitchen.

  Varieties of refrigerated work surfaces Refrigerated work surfaces come in various formats tailored to each specialty of catering, whether it's pizzerias, sandwich shops, or pastry shops, each benefiting from a specific configuration to meet its needs.

  Refrigeration options: positive and negative Depending on the nature of the products to be stored, refrigerated work surfaces are divided into positive models for fresh foods and negative ones for frozen products.

  Specific work surfaces

  Pizza cabinets: Designed for the preservation of pizza ingredients and equipped with storage spaces for preparation tools, these cabinets with granite work surfaces are ideal for pizzerias.

  Saladettes: Ideal for sandwich shops, they allow you to store fresh vegetables while facilitating sandwich assembly, with some models even offering a showcase to display toppings.

  Each type of refrigerated work surface is designed to maximize efficiency and quality in food preparation, ensuring freshness and food safety.

  Selecting an appropriate refrigerated preparation table

  For managers of pizzerias, sandwich shops, bakeries, pastry shops, or any other type of restaurant, choosing a professional refrigerated preparation table is crucial for efficiency and service quality. Here are some tips to help you select the furniture that perfectly suits your needs.

  The first step in choosing your refrigerated preparation table is to clearly define its use within your establishment.

  What types of dishes do you offer?

  What are the specificities of your culinary offer?

  These questions will guide you to the most suitable model, whether it's a traditional table (positive or negative), a specific pizza furniture, a pastry tower, or a saladette.

  Selection criteria and advantages by type

  Professional preparation table: Ideal for maintaining food at the right temperature and preparing your dishes in optimal hygienic conditions. Made of stainless steel for durability and easy maintenance. Available in refrigerated models (positive or negative) according to your storage needs.

  Pizza cabinet: Designed to facilitate the work of pizza makers with space to store dough and a granite work surface for preparation. Customization options such as gastro bins for toppings and an integrated saladette increase efficiency.

  Pastry tower: Specifically designed for bakeries and pastry shops, it allows you to work pastries on a non-stick granite surface and store them at the ideal temperature. A hygienic choice that facilitates cleaning and optimizes work organization.

  Refrigerated saladette: Perfect for sandwich shops, it allows you to prepare and store fresh ingredients within easy reach, maximizing workspace and reducing movements. Constructed of stainless steel, it ensures durability, ease of maintenance, and efficiency.

  Selecting the cooling system for your refrigeration equipment

  When purchasing a refrigerated preparation table, the type of cooling system is a determining criterion. It directly influences the management of your food stocks. You will have the choice between static cold and ventilated cold, each presenting its advantages and limitations.

  Static cold Static cold relies on natural air circulation, made possible by the evaporator. This method results in uneven temperature distribution within the device: the upper part is warmer compared to the lower area. It is therefore essential to organize products according to their temperature requirements.

  Advantages Disadvantages -More affordable financially

  -Lower initial acquisition cost

  -Reduced noise level

  -Uneven temperature requiring specific product arrangement

  -Sensitivity to temperature variations during frequent door openings

  Ventilated cold Ventilated cold uses a fan to circulate cold air, ensuring a uniform temperature inside the device. This feature eliminates the need to sort food according to their cold requirement, thus simplifying storage.

  Advantages Disadvantages -Uniform temperature throughout the device

  -Designed for regular and intensive use

  -Simplified storage thanks to homogeneous refrigeration

  -Possible food dehydration due to constant airflow, requiring careful packaging of each product

  -Higher purchase cost compared to static cold

  The decision between static cold and ventilated cold will depend on your specific needs, including budget, type of products to be stored, and frequency of equipment use. A wise choice will guarantee the freshness and quality of your products while optimizing the operation of your kitchen.

  What work surface?

  The choice of work surface is essential to optimize the functionality of your refrigerated preparation table, directly impacting the quality and efficiency of your culinary preparations. Two materials predominate in this area: stainless steel and granite marble, each with specific characteristics adapted to different uses in catering.

  Stainless steel work surface

  Advantages Disadvantages -Versatility: Stainless steel is a standard in the restaurant industry, thanks to its robustness and ability to withstand the demanding conditions of professional kitchens.

  -Durability: It is known for its resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, ensuring a long service life.

  -Maintenance: Its smooth surface facilitates cleaning and hygiene, a major asset in a food environment.

  -Economy: In comparison, stainless steel offers a good value for money, combining durability and affordable cost.

  -Lightness: Easy to handle and install, it is suitable for various kitchen configurations.

  -Thermal conduction: Stainless steel can alter the temperature of foods placed directly on it, which can be a disadvantage for some delicate preparations.

  Granite work surface

  Advantages Disadvantages -Resistance: Granite is extremely resistant to wear, maintaining its aesthetic appearance and texture over the long term.

  -Thermal stability: It does not absorb heat from foods, avoiding the problem of preparation sticking to the surface.

  -Hygiene: Granite offers a non-porous surface that limits bacterial proliferation.

  -Aesthetics: In addition to its practical qualities, granite brings a touch of elegance and sophistication to the workspace.

  -Specific treatment: To maintain its properties and appearance, granite requires the application of hydrophobic or oleophobic products to protect it from water and grease stains.

  What storage?

  The choice between drawers and swing doors for storage in professional kitchens significantly influences efficiency, accessibility, and optimal use of space. Each option has advantages and disadvantages to consider depending on the size of the kitchen, the type of activity, and preferences in terms of workflow.

  Drawers

  Advantages Disadvantages Easy viewing and access: Drawers offer excellent visibility and accessibility to utensils and equipment, allowing significant time savings during preparation.

  Optimal organization: They are perfect for organizing and storing small materials and gastronorm containers, often used for mise en place.

  Space-saving: Drawer opening is less cumbersome, which is particularly advantageous in tight or busy spaces.

  -Reduced refrigerated space: Installing drawers can reduce the available space for refrigerated storage, which can be a compromise for some establishments requiring a large volume of cold storage.

  Swing doors

  Advantages

• Fridge pizza salad

  The pizza saladette fridges offer precisely controlled temperatures, which are essential for pizza ingredients sensitive to temperature fluctuations. They allow restaurateurs to preserve the texture and flavor of dough and toppings, ensuring that each pizza is as good as the last. Additionally, their top surface can serve as a workspace for stretching dough and topping pizzas, making the preparation process more efficient.

  How to choose the right pizza saladette fridge for your pizzeria Choosing the right pizza saladette fridge is essential for any pizzeria aiming to optimize its efficiency and the quality of its products. This type of fridge combines refrigeration space to keep ingredients at hand and a workspace for pizza preparation, offering significant time savings and constant freshness of ingredients.

  When selecting, the size and capacity of the fridge should be considered. Tailor the size of the fridge to the available space in your kitchen and your storage needs. Next, consider the type of cooling: ventilated systems offer even cold distribution, while static systems may be more affordable but require meticulous ingredient organization.

  The material of the workspace is also crucial. Marble, for example, does not stick and maintains a constant temperature, ideal for pizza dough preparation. Stainless steel, although durable and easy to clean, may not be optimal for directly working the dough.

  Storage configuration is another important aspect. Drawers offer quick and easy access to ingredients, while swinging doors can provide more space for larger containers.

  A precise and reliable temperature control system is essential to ensure ingredient freshness. Choose a fridge with easy-to-use control.

  Maintenance and hygiene are paramount. Opt for a model that is easy to clean with smooth surfaces and materials resistant to corrosion. Finally, determine your budget by considering both the initial investment and potential long-term savings.

  Don't hesitate to seek advice from experts to guide you in your choice. A specialist can help you select the model that best suits your specific needs.

• Display counters

Ideal for bakeries, delicatessens, or salad bars, our glass display counters are the perfect solution to attract customers and boost sales through attractive and professional display.

  Refrigerated glass display counter: A must-have asset for the food industry

  The refrigerated display counter is an essential refrigeration equipment in the food industry, offering a dual advantage: optimal storage of products at the right temperature while allowing clear display through a transparent glass. These counters are indispensable in various establishments such as sandwich shops, bakeries, ice cream parlors, and butcher shops, playing a crucial role in product presentation.

  When it comes to professional refrigerated display counters, the choice depends on the type of products to be displayed. For example, ice cream display counters, specially designed to showcase different ice cream flavors, feature specific compartments and an appropriate cooling system. Pastry display counters, on the other hand, are intended for sweet preparations and highlight pastries with their multiple levels and often panoramic design. For limited spaces, countertop display cases are ideal, while horizontal display cases offer versatility suitable for multiple food trades.

  The choice of a refrigerated display counter should consider various criteria, including the type of cooling. Static cold, although economical, offers a less homogeneous temperature, while ventilated cold ensures a constant temperature and better food preservation. Static cold display cases are suitable for foods requiring a temperature of 4 to 6 °C, such as raw vegetables, while more delicate products like raw meats or fresh fish require ventilated cold.

  Note that:

  -For delicate products such as raw meats, fresh fish, or salmon requiring a temperature of 0 to 2 °C, prefer ventilated countertop refrigerators.

  -The cold zone is limited to the height of the worktop. If foods are placed beyond this zone, they will not be properly preserved. For a wide variety or quantity of foods, consider wider or longer counters.

  -The size of your counter also depends on the available space. If space is limited, opt for more compact models, especially if the cooking line is placed behind the counter (maintain a minimum distance of 70 cm between hot areas and the display case).

  -Finally, since these display cases are generally heavy and bulky, consider accessibility during installation. If in doubt, feel free to contact our services for personalized advice.

  Other important elements to consider include the motor (integrated or remote), refrigerant fluid, lighting, dimensions, and type of glass. Each choice must be adapted to the available space, the specific needs of the products to be displayed, and the layout of the establishment. It is also crucial to consider accessibility during the installation of the display cases, which are often heavy and bulky. When in doubt, it is recommended to consult experts for personalized advice, ensuring that your investment in a refrigerated display counter perfectly meets your restaurant needs.
