Frequently Asked Questions About Drop-in Cold Food Wells
As you search for the perfect commercial kitchen equipment, you may have questions about drop-in refrigerated cold wells. We've compiled some of the most common questions to help guide your purchase.
A cold food well is designed to keep food items chilled at safe temperatures. It's commonly used in restaurants, catering businesses, and buffets to maintain the freshness of ingredients while they're being served or prepared.
The temperature range for drop-in cold wells is typically between 33°F and 41°F. This range ensures that the food remains cold enough to prevent bacterial growth and maintain its quality without freezing.
A drop-in cold well works by circulating refrigerated air around the food pans, thereby maintaining a consistent, cool temperature. The cold air surrounds the pan, thus ensuring that the food stays at the optimal temperature. It's essential to remember that these units are designed for holding food at safe temperatures, not for cooling them down.
The lifespan of drop-in cold pans can vary widely depending on their usage, maintenance, and the quality of the unit itself. However, with proper care and regular maintenance, they can typically last between 10 to 20 years.
Cleaning a drop-in refrigerated cold well involves several steps:
- First, unplug the unit and remove any food pans.
- Then, clean the interior with a mild detergent and warm water, using a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the surface.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry.
- Finally, sanitize the unit according to local health department guidelines before replacing the food pans.
Regular cleaning helps ensure the longevity and efficiency of your equipment.
