How to organise the inside of your Adande
An Adande drawer is the perfect refrigeration unit for professional kitchens, offering energy efficiency and temperature flexibility. But to fully utilise all the benefits, you need to maximise the space inside the insulated container. Here’s a useful blog on how to use the Adande drawer management options to help you maximise space and save you time in your kitchen.
1. Assess Your Storage Needs
Before diving up your drawer, take a moment to evaluate what you store most frequently and where you use these ingredients in your kitchen. Understanding your storage needs will help you choose the correct layout and components for your drawer. For example, if you frequently use a popular ingredient on a variety of your dishes, it’s best to allocate a space closer to the front of your drawer for quick access.
2. Use Dividers for Custom Organization
Dividers are perfect for creating customized storage spaces within your Adande drawer fridge. Here’s how to make the most of them:
- Categorize Your Items: Group similar items together. For instance, keep all your dairy products in one section and meats in another.
- Think quantity: If you have large quantities of frozen stock that you need right at the point of use. Use the dividers create sections and layer up the stock vertically (best done in compact drawers)
3. Incorporate GN Pan Racks for Versatility
GN (Gastronorm) pan racks are incredibly useful in Adande drawers, allowing for efficient storage and organisation for you GN pans to be stably placed on top.
- Neat stackable storage: GN pan racks allow you to stack pans neatly, maximizing space. This method is especially beneficial for storing prepped chopped ingredients or sauces in piping bags
- Quickly changeable: With GN pan racks, you can quickly slot GN pans in and out effortlessly when you change up your menu, whilst keeping it neat!
4. Optimize Space Utilization
To get the most out of your Adande drawer fridge, consider these space-saving tips:
- Lids and Covers: Use lids or covers on GN pans to prevent cross-contamination and maintain hygiene. Transparent lids are especially useful for quickly identifying contents or using clingfilm on top of stainless steel pans.
- Stacking: When storing different foods in smaller GN pans we recommend holding back-up stock of each food type in the same size GN pan, stacked one on top of the other.
5. Regular maintenance and reorganization
Maintaining an organized Adande drawer fridge is an ongoing process. Regularly clean and reorganize your fridge to ensure it remains efficient:
- Keeping it clean: schedule a quick clean to keep your fridge in top condition. This can be easily done with an Adande as the insulated container is removable. Simple spray down and wipe or carry it over to an industrial sink in the kitchen to be sprayed down.
- Adapt to seasonal changes: Adjust your organisation strategy based on seasonal menu changes or new inventory.
