What is a blast chiller?

A blast chiller (sometimes also referred to as a shock chiller, blast cooler, blast freezer, rapid freezer, or shock freezer) is a powerful cooling appliance designed to rapidly reduce the temperature of foods, while preserving their freshness, quality, and most importantly, limiting bacterial growth. In addition, by using a blast chiller to lower the temperature of a dish before placing it in a storage cooler cabinet, you also avoid compromising other chilled foods already in the storage cooler.

Widely used in commercial kitchens, restaurants, and food manufacturing facilities, blast chillers/ freezers play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and taste of your dishes, as well as ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations.
