We spoke to Craig about his experience with Adande drawers.
Do Adande drawers have any impact on your ingredients/ produce?
Massively due to the size of the draw, we keep all of our prep in smaller tubs, organised In the large flat drum of the fridge. Where the refrigeration is so compact it allows for a direct chill in the draw area, keeping ingredients chilled to a desired temperature.
Have you noticed a reduction in food waste?
Yes, the chill on the Adande fridges are so efficient, much better than a free-standing fridge as the cold air stays in the draw area, keeping
produce, chilled and fresh.
Refrigeration is known for consuming a lot of energy – Can you tell you use less energy with Adande drawers?
Yes, we are a fully induction kitchen to with Adande built into our cooking suite. We also have 2 other stacker fridges with one set to freeze. This not only allows for energy saving, but less foot work as everything is to hand.
“These Adande fridges can be built into the suites to allow more space and for more efficiency. Without a doubt some of the best equipment I have used and proud to be able to work with these companies to be able to put the best food on the plate. Also Craft Guild of Chefs approved always by my side in the busiest days”.
Craig Edgell, Head Chef at Buoy & Oyster

small working space, and can do 350 covers+. But, with the help of Adande refrigeration it allows us to be clean tidy and efficient.
