Cooling wells offer benefits that extend beyond just keeping food cool. They uphold food safety standards by maintaining ideal temperatures that deter bacterial growth. Simultaneously, their design enhances presentation and allows for versatility in displaying a variety of dishes, from breakfast products to salads, and cold desserts.

In addition to usage at buffets in restaurants and hotels, cooling wells are also used for providing easy access to cold beverages in places such as canteens and cafeterias.

Cooling wells come in various types, including drop-in, countertop, and built-in models, each catering to a particular set of requirements and spaces. At TEFCOLD, our ranges of cooling wells are all designed to be built into a counter. Built-in cooling wells are excellent for permanent installations and help conserve valuable counter space.

When purchasing a cooling well, consider factors such as temperature control, size and capacity, ease of cleaning and maintenance, and the type of cooling mechanism.

• Temperature control and cooling systems
  Cooling wells are available with different types of cooling systems. If you need it for displaying temperature-sensitive food items, we recommend a cooling well with ventilated cooling. If you need a cooling well for beverages or less temperature-sensitive food, like e.g. salads, you can use a cooling well with static cooling. This has a longer pull-down time, but on the other hand it uses less energy.
  
  
• Size and capacity
  Cooling wells come in all sorts of sizes. Make sure to choose one that corresponds to your establishment's demand.
  
  
• Gastronorm dimensions
  If you use the cooling well for food items, make sure it has GN dimensions. This will ensure compatibility with other kitchen equipment and just make life much easier.
