How Commercial Glass Frosters Work
Glass frosters operate using powerful refrigeration systems that rapidly cool your glasses to temperatures between -5°C and -10°C. Unlike standard fridges, these specialist units circulate dry, cold air that quickly chills glassware without condensation—giving that perfect dry frost effect. Most models use energy-efficient compressors and fans to distribute the cold air evenly throughout the cabinet. Simply load your clean, dry glasses upside down on the racks or shelves, and within minutes, they're perfectly frosted and ready to serve. The dry cooling environment ensures glasses don't stick together or develop ice crystals—just that professional, misty finish that elevates every drink!

Top Tips for Using Commercial Glass Frosters
Always load completely dry glasses to prevent them sticking together—a good glass washer with a decent drying cycle is invaluable here. Clean your froster monthly to prevent ice build-up and maintain efficiency. For best results, chill glasses for at least 3-5 minutes before serving. If you're running a cocktail bar, chill coupes and martini glasses at slightly warmer temperatures (-2°C to -5°C) than beer glasses to prevent excessive frosting that might affect delicate flavours.
