[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Daily chilling, preserving and storing processes in any \u00a0professional kitchen\u00a0must be both safe and efficient<\/strong>. Choosing the right freezers and blast chillers hence becomes critical in these environments<\/strong>. A freezer is designed to maintain food at a temperature below freezing, while a blast chiller rapidly cools food by blowing cold air over it, gradually lowering the temperature<\/strong>. This process helps to preserve food quality while it cools. In this article, Electrolux Professional shares about distinctions between both processes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][elx_heading text_color=”inherit”]What are the functions of a blast chiller?[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Blast chillers offer the best option for rapidly freezing food products for extended storage periods<\/strong>. This supports chefs, who can now prepare menu items and quickly freeze them for regeneration later, optimizing time and resources<\/strong>. Blast chilling involves cooling food to a low temperature quickly, allowing it to pass through the so-called \u201cdanger zone\u201d more rapidly and preventing harmful bacteria from developing and multiplying<\/strong>. The “danger zone” refers to the temperature range between +8\u00b0C (46.4\u00b0F) and 68\u00b0C (140\u00b0F), where bacteria grow at an accelerated rate<\/strong>, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]Existing health guidelines mandate that food be safely blast chilled by reducing its temperature from +70\u00b0C (+158\u00b0F) to +3\u00b0C (+37.4\u00b0F) or below within 90 minutes. The<\/strong>\u00a0Electrolux Professional range <\/strong>easily achieves this mandate, adhering to the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)<\/strong> process and guidelines. The HACCP International Certification is a unique recognition that validates Electrolux Professional’s commitment to ensuring the highest level of hygiene along the entire food chain<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][elx_heading text_color=”inherit”]What are the functions of a commercial freezer?[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]A freezer is an equipment that maintains food at very low temperatures<\/strong>, preventing it from spoiling. Although a domestic freezer is typically integrated into a refrigerator, commercial freezers are equipped with robust compressors designed to withstand frequent door opening and closing while maintaining a steady temperature across the entire cooling system<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15042″ img_size=”350×291″ alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][elx_heading text_color=”inherit”]When do you choose a blast chiller over a commercial freezer?[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text]There are three primary reasons why blast chillers are preferred over commercial freezers<\/strong>. Firstly, they are better at preserving the quality and appearance of food<\/strong>. They save\u00a0time and money<\/strong>. Finally, they keep food safer from bacteria<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Depending on the size of the kitchen and the volume of food prepared, a blast freezer may be a useful addition to a traditional freezer,<\/strong> especially if both safe freezing solutions and ample storage capacity are needed.<\/p>\n

Electrolux Professional<\/strong> offers a wide selection of blast chillers<\/strong><\/a> that comply with all health and safety regulations. Choosing a blast freezer from Electrolux Professional can provide peace of mind and help maintain the highest standards of food quality and safety<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
