Compared to standard refrigeration, a blast chiller rapidly reduces food temperatures, helping to maintain the taste, texture, and nutritional value of cooked dishes. Here are 5 key factors to consider in your purchase of a commercial blast chiller and how it can help with your professional operations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][elx_heading text_color=&#8221;inherit&#8221;]1. How does a professional blast chiller work?[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_column_text]A blast chilling process enables the cooling or freezing of food in a very short amount of time, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and ensuring dishes are safe for storage and consumption later. Bacteria multiplies rapidly in temperatures ranging from +8\u00b0C to +68\u00b0C. Blast chillers rapidly cool food by blasting cold air over it, reducing the temperature of cooked or heated food within 90 minutes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][elx_heading text_color=&#8221;inherit&#8221;]2. What is it used for?[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14498&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Blast chillers cool down bulk quantities of food quickly and effectively in a temperature-controlled environment. There are several advantages to this process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It guarantees compliance with existing international and local health and safety regulations for food preservation and serving.<\/li>\n<li>Food quality is preserved by reducing the spread of bacteria, saving time and food wastage.<\/li>\n<li>Having a separate appliance that quick cools food ensures that you do not compromise on the temperatures of existing food in cold storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][elx_heading text_color=&#8221;inherit&#8221;]3. What\u2019s the difference between blast chilling and blast freezing[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Electrolux Professional&#8217;s blast chillers have a chilling cycle time that brings food from 70\u00b0C to 3\u00b0C within 90 minutes. It allows for two types of chilling:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Soft chilling is a gentler process that ensures delicate products, such as fish, fruit, and vegetables, do not develop ice crystals.<\/li>\n<li>Hard chilling is suitable for denser foods, such as meat and lasagnas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, our SkyLine ChillS blast chiller models combine the technology of a blast chiller with a blast freezer, enabling our appliance to achieve a freezing temperature of -18\u00b0C in around 240 minutes. The blast freeze option, known as the X-freeze cycle, lowers the air temperature in the cavity from +10\u00b0C to -41\u00b0C and is ideal for efficiently freezing all food including raw, half-cooked, or fully cooked.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][elx_heading text_color=&#8221;inherit&#8221;]4. How to clean and maintain a blast chiller[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Like most commercial kitchen appliances, daily cleaning and maintenance are necessary for proper functioning and longevity of the machine. This includes cleaning external surfaces with warm, soapy water, avoiding the use of abrasive detergents and steel wool, brushes, or scrapers that could damage the chiller\u2019s surface. The surface should then be thoroughly wiped with a damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, use a soft cloth dampened with water and, if needed, a neutral detergent. Avoid using direct or high-pressure water jets. For optimal results and product efficiency, we recommend using approved cleaning, rinsing, and descaling agents to achieve optimal results.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][elx_heading text_color=&#8221;inherit&#8221;]5. Choosing the right blast chiller for you[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;16px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Restaurants should choose a cooling appliance that is tailored to their specific capacity, size, and efficiency requirements, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Adherence to local health and safety regulations and minimum energy performance standards are also key factors in the decision-making process.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on selecting the right blast chiller for your needs, fill in the contact us <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electroluxprofessional.com\/sg\/commercial-kitchen-equipment\/blast-chillers-and-freezers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and we\u2019ll be in touch.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A blast chiller is an essential appliance for professional kitchens to comply with food hygiene standards and preserve top food quality.
