Reach-In Refrigerators and Freezers

Decide how much space you have for a reach in refrigerator and freezer If your commercial kitchen is small, there are plenty of space saving reach in freezers and refrigerators. Under-counter models and prep table models are ideal for busy restaurant kitchens, because they have built in countertop space. A narrow single door reach in refrigerator fits well into a corner, out of the way, while still keeping cold foods handy to the cooks.

I recommend:  BigTray.com carries a large line of reach in refrigerators and freezers with adjustable shelves and self-closing doors. Swivel casters make moving easy. Beverage Air is another reach in freezer manufacturer that carries a large selection of reach in models.

Increase sales with reach in glass display coolers Reach in glass display coolers are an attractive way to showcase cold items. Tempt customers' palates with a display of freshly sliced meats and cheeses or a freezer display case stocked with cartons of delicious ice cream treats. Customers won't buy it unless they can see it!

I recommend:  Bush Refrigeration and Knox Refrigeration carry several different sized glass reach in display coolers, ideal for delis, grocery stores and gourmet shops.

Save money and energy with reach in refrigerators and freezers Look for a reach in freezer or refrigerator with the Energy Star seal, to keep your utility bill down. These reach in coolers feature better insulation and highly efficient compressors. They may cost more than units without the Energy Star seal, but they will save you money in the long run.

I recommend:  Consult the US Department of Energy’s website for efficiency recommendation. Use their efficiency charts to figure out just how much energy a reach in refrigerator or freezer uses per day, month and year.
