Can an undercounter freezer hold ice cream for scooping?

Hard ice cream can be stored in one, but scooping from a standard freezer is often difficult because it holds product colder than a serving texture. Dipping cabinets and gelato cases are built for serving temperatures, so many operators keep backup tubs in the undercounter freezer and the tubs in use in a dipping case.

Are freezer drawers worth choosing over doors?

Drawers let a cook see and grab frozen portions without bending to reach the back of a cabinet, and opening one drawer exposes less of the interior than opening a full door. Doors handle boxes and irregular shapes more flexibly. Drawers are common at fry stations and sauté lines, while doors are usually enough for general storage.

Commercial Undercounter Freezers in Canada

Undercounter freezers keep frozen product at the point of use: fries and proteins next to the fryer, desserts at the pastry station, frozen fruit beside the blender. They fit beneath counters in the same footprint as undercounter refrigerators, with doors or drawers, and save cooks a walk to a reach-in or walk-in during service. Quick-service kitchens, cafés and bars rely on them for items used by the portion.

About commercial undercounter freezers

Before you buy

Place the freezer where it will be opened most, but keep it out of the direct heat of fryers and griddles unless the manufacturer rates it for a hot line.
Check that the drawer or door opening fits the containers you use, such as fry bags, portion packs or pans, before comparing capacity figures.
Find out whether the model defrosts automatically and where the melt water goes, since frost builds faster in a freezer that is opened constantly.
Check the plug configuration and amperage on the specification sheet so the station has a suitable receptacle within cord reach.
