Cooling Wells
Cooling wells offer an optimal balance between food safety, presentation, and business efficiency, making them an invaluable asset for food service establishments. These devices are specifically engineered to maintain optimal temperatures for food items and beverages while also enhancing their visual appeal. This dual benefit ensures the food remains appetizing on display while complying with established safety standards.
Cooling wells are therefore the ideal solution for maintaining food freshness at buffets while providing easy access for guests. To enhance hygiene and ease of life, our selection of cooling wells all accept GN1/1 pans.
Why should you get a cooling well for your food service establishment?
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.
What are the different types of cooling wells?
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.
Essential features to look for when purchasing a cooling well
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.
