Cool Under Pressure: Adande Refrigerated Drawers for Peak Summer Service
When the British summer finally kicks in, it brings sunshine, packed restaurant patios and the pressure of fast-paced kitchen service. But with higher temperatures, chefs face the challenge of keeping food chilled and safe while preserving quality. Whether you’re running a fine dining restaurant, a busy café in the sun, or a grab-and-go QSR, Adande fridges are built to handle the heat.
The Summer Stress Test for Commercial Refrigeration
During summer, UK commercial kitchens can easily exceed 32°C, with some environments reaching up to 40°C during peak periods, especially in tight kitchens with grills, fryers, and combi ovens running back to back.
Standard commercial fridges often struggle to maintain temperatures in these conditions, leading to food quality issues, waste, and safety risks.
But Adande’s refrigerated drawer systems are built to withstand the pressure. They deliver consistent temperature control, even in sweltering conditions.
How Adande Refrigerated Drawers Stay Cool Under Pressure
Thanks to Adande’s patented insulated refrigerated drawer technology, cold air is locked in, not lost. This ensures temperature consistency even when drawers are opened regularly during busy shifts.
- Stable Cooling: Reliable performance in ambient temperatures up to and beyond 40°C.
- Flexible Settings: Each Variable cooling drawer can be set from -22°C to +15°C, in 0.1°C increments.
- Switchable Use: Drawers switch between fridge and freezer mode in less than 40 mins.
