Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from operators buying this kind of equipment.

What's the difference between a sandwich prep table and a pizza prep table?

A sandwich prep table has a shallow refrigerated rail on top sized for standard 1/6 and 1/3 size pans, built for building sandwiches and salads to order. A pizza prep table has a wider, deeper rail designed to hold full-size pizza topping pans and dough. Phoenix Food Equipment stocks Nordic Air sandwich prep tables and pizza prep tables in single and double door configurations for kitchens across the GTA and Canada.

What is a chef base and how is it different from an under-counter refrigerator?

A chef base is a low-profile refrigerated or freezer unit built to sit under a griddle, range, or other cooking equipment, doubling as both cold storage and a sturdy equipment stand. An under-counter refrigerator is a standalone unit meant to fit beneath a prep counter without supporting cooking equipment on top. Phoenix Food Equipment carries Nordic Air chef bases and under-counter refrigerators and freezers to fit either need.

What is a blast chiller used for in a commercial kitchen?

A blast chiller rapidly cools hot food from about 60°C down to 4°C within a couple of hours, keeping food safely out of the temperature danger zone and preserving texture and quality better than a standard refrigerator. It's commonly used for batch-cooked soups, sauces, and cook-chill programs. Phoenix Food Equipment stocks Nordic Air blast chillers and freezers for commercial kitchens throughout Ontario and Canada.
