Freezers

Choosing the right commercial freezer for a home or business setting is primarily a matter of how much space is available and how many cubic feet is needed. Commercial freezers from as little as seven to as much as almost 20 cubic feet are available in varying price points and style.

A popular choice for commercial freezers are chest freezers, which can be chosen in the standard lift lid or with the sliding lids of commercial ice cream freezers. If space is an issue, upright commercial freezers are also an option. These can provide as much cubic feet of storage space as chest style freezers as well.

When using a commercial freezer, it is important to have the appropriate storage containers. Polycarbonate and polyethylene containers in varying sizes are available and are good choices because they are not only freezer safe, but are dishwasher safe as well. Lids for storage containers are an important consideration. Lids must fit snugly in order to preserve freshness, but freezer storage lids may offer more functionality than a tight fit. Choosing transparent lids may aid in quickly determining the contents of a storage container and those that have the capability of noting dates help greatly with inventory control. For those who prefer storage bags to containers, Ziploc storage offers a variety of alternatives.

Commercial grade small appliances excellently compliment commercial grade freezers. Large ice makers and ice dispensers provide ice while leaving space open in the commercial freezers for other food items. The ice makers and dispensers can be large or small, providing from 170 pounds of ice to over 300. Most ice makers give the owner an option of either water or air cooled ice as well as choice of ice size.

Of course, ice makers and dispensers are not the only commercial grade appliances that are necessary for businesses to run effectively. Coffee urns, food grinders, induction cooktops, and mechanical dial scales are just some of the commercial grade appliances available for companies or individuals interested in food production.
