5 things to consider before building your Adande drawer
When designing a professional kitchen, having the right refrigeration can make all the difference. With Adande’s modular refrigerated drawers, you can create a setup tailored to your space, menu, and workflow. Here’s a guide to help you build your own Adande unit, customized to meet the specific needs of your professional kitchen.
- Assess Your Kitchen Space
What space do you have available? Adande refrigerated drawers come in various styles to fit seamlessly into different kitchen layouts. Choose from side-engine, rear-engine, or even compact units based on your available space. Side-engine units are ideal for wider spaces. While rear-engine units have a longer depth. Compact units are designed for smaller spaces, offering deep cool storage in a minimal footprint in your cookline. For full accessibility efficiency, try our matchbox units which can be accessed from each side of a kitchen island.
2. Does your menu change regularly?
If your kitchen frequently switches ingredients, you may want to select flexible refrigeration that can switch from a fridge to a freezer. This is available with our standard drawers. These units can change from fridge to freezer in less than 40 minutes! However, if sustainability is a priority, our fridge-only drawers with an A+ energy rating are a great choice. These units offer excellent energy efficiency, helping to reduce your kitchen’s environmental footprint.
3. Decide on Top Usage: Work Surface or Equipment Station
How will you be using the top of the unit? One of the great features of Adande drawers is their versatility. Whether you need a solid worktop or a base for heavy equipment, Adande drawers can accommodate you. Many kitchens choose to place grills or combi ovens on top of their Adande units, maximising counter space and improving workflow. Alternatively, the unit can serve as an additional work surface, giving your team more room to prepare ingredients or assemble dishes. Think about your kitchen workflow and decide how the top of the unit can best support your operations.
4. Choose the Right Capacity for Your Needs
What capacity do you need? With each drawer holding up to 40 kg of produce, Adande units provide easy access to ingredients without requiring constant trips to a walk-in fridge. This capacity is especially useful for professional kitchens that deal with high-volume prep, as it allows for quick, efficient ingredient access. Whether you need one drawer or a stacked setup with multiple drawers.
