Maintaining the right temperature in commercial refrigeration is crucial for ensuring food safety, enhancing the quality of produce, and minimising waste, but can also improve energy efficiency and extend life span of equipment. Despite common misconceptions, commercial refrigeration doesn't hold temperatures accurate to the degree that it is set when in use and thermostats will show fluctuations. Get an in depth insight into why temperature fluctuations are a common feature of commercial refrigeration, including how you know fluctuations are normal and when to recognise that there maybe an ulterior issue.
The importance of temperature in the realm of commercial refrigeration is widely understood. Primarily, observing recommended food storage temperatures = food safety. While commercial refrigeration and temperatures is often discussed from a user perspective, what they should be doing and how they should use equipment, what happens before equipment comes to market to guarantee that it is, indeed, providing safe temperatures during use.
Investing in commercial appliances is expensive, so you want the most efficient and cost-effective equipment. That's where energy labels come in - they can provide valuable insight into how much electricity an appliance uses and aid in your decision-making.
Gastronorm pans and trays are a common feature of any professional catering and food service operation. Here we answer some simple regularly asked questions and simplify the seemingly endless configurations to help businesses to ascertain how these simple pieces of equipment can be tailored to their individual needs.
The one main reasons why refrigerators are used in businesses and at home is to keep food cold. Fridges are important because food stays fresh for longer, thus helping cut down wastage in both homes and businesses. They also help increase profits in businesses by maintaining the quality of food for a longer time and allowing chefs the time and opportunity to create their best foods.
More production of food which is, in normal circumstances, highly perishable has increased the need to have storage mechanisms that prevent wastage and unwanted loss. However, as much as refrigeration is an important part of our lives, one question remains, how does a refrigerator work and how does it maintain such cold temperatures for a long time?
