In this episode of The Deep Dive, we reveal the ins and outs of pizza & salad prep counters. Learn how they keep ingredients chilled, can be organized for speed & efficiency, and ensure food safety—ideal for pizzerias, delis, and salad bars.
16.05min | Expert-led | Real-world advice
0:00: Welcome to the deep dive.
0:01: Today we're really zeroing in on commercial pizza and salad prep counters.
0:06: That's right.
0:07: Our sources today, they're from E equipment.
0:09: They've got what, half a century of experience supplying the UK restaurant scene.
0:14: Yeah, 50 years, they know their stuff.
0:17: And our mission really is to figure out why they call these units non-negotiable.
0:22: You know, not just helpful, but absolutely essential for places wanting fresh food, served fast.
0:28: Exactly.
0:29: And easy equipment, they offer, well, a huge range of gear, bottle coolers, ice machines, ovens, loads of things.
0:37: But we're diving into that specific pizza salad prep counters category today found under commercial fridges on their site.
0:44: OK, so prep.
0:45: It's more than just like a fridge with a shelf on top, right?
0:49: What's the core idea?
0:50: Yeah, totally more than that.
0:51: It's a clever mix really.
0:53: Down below you've got properly chilled storage.
0:55: We're talking 2 to 8 °C usually.
0:58: OK, that's the key temperature range.
0:59: Absolutely crucial.
1:00: Keeps ingredients safe, you know, out of that danger zone between 5 and 60 degrees where bacteria love to grow.
1:06: Then on top of that fridge base, there's a dedicated workspace and it's designed to hold all your toppings, your ingredients right there.
1:14: Ready for assembly.
1:15: , so it's like your cold storage and your production line all rolled into one.
1:20: Makes you think, doesn't it?
1:22: Those super efficient kitchens you see sometimes.
1:24: You're probably watching one of these in action.
1:26: Ever been just amazed at how fast a pizza or salad gets made.
1:30: This must be a huge part of that speed.
1:33: Oh, it is, and it's not just about shaving off seconds though it does that too, that integrated design, it fundamentally changes the kitchen workflow.
1:41: No more running back and forth to a separate fridge.
1:43: Everything's right there.
1:44: Like your fingertips.
1:46: Exactly.
1:46: It speeds things up, sure, but also helps keep those ingredients top quality because they stay chilled right until you use them.
1:53: So yeah, let's dig into some of those key features, see why they're non-negotiable.
1:58: OK, first up, that controlled cooling, the 2 to 8 degrees, we mentioned food safety, but.
2:05: Why else is that so vital for a business?
2:07: Well, beyond stopping bacteria, which is obviously paramount.
2:11: Yeah.
2:11: That consistent chill preserves the quality.
2:15: Think crisp lettuce, bright tomatoes, you know, good quality sliced meats, keeping them in that range means they hold their texture, their flavor, their whole appeal for longer, which directly impacts the final product the customer gets.
2:28: Absolutely.
2:28: Better taste, fresher food, simple as that.
2:31: And the integrated workspace sounds simple, but having your prep surface right over the chilled stuff, that's got to be a game changer for efficiency.
2:38: Oh, massive.
2:40: If you've ever tried prepping food where your ingredients are, like across the kitchen, you instantly get why this setup works.
2:47: It's just a fundamental improvement.
2:49: Think of the seconds, maybe even minutes, save.
2:51: Every single order adds up quickly over a busy shift.
2:55: Hugely lets you serve more people faster with the same staff.
2:59: Plus, it tends to make the workspace tidier, more organized, less clutter, fewer mistakes.
3:05: Now, gastronome compatibility, that term pops up a lot.
3:08: For those of us not fluent in kitchen speak.
3:10: What's that mean?
3:11: Why care?
3:12: Right, gastronome or GN, you'll hear it called GN.
3:15: It's basically a standard set of sizes for food containers, like universal sizes used all across professional kitchens, like a standard measurement system for food pans.
3:25: Exactly.
3:26: So when a prep counter says it's GN compatible, it means those standard pans fit perfectly into the wells on top.
3:32: OK.
3:32: And the benefit is efficiency swapping ingredients, restocking, organizing.
3:38: It's all streamlined.
3:38: You can pull a GN pan from your main fridge, drop it straight into the prep counter, take it out to clean it.
3:45: No messing about transferring food between different containers.
3:48: Saves time, reduces hassle, maybe even less food waste.
3:51: Definitely helps with portion control and managing stock too, yeah.
3:54: And these counters, they're built tough, right?
3:57: Stainless steel that's not just for looks, I assume.
3:59: Not at all.
4:00: Commercial kitchens are, well, demanding places, constant.
4:03: use heat spills, stainless steel is tough.
4:07: It can take a beating.
4:08: plus it's non-porous, which means it's easy to clean and keep hygienic, really important.
4:13: So durable and safe, makes the investment worthwhile long term.
4:17: That's the ideas.
4:19: The adjustable temperature feature also sounds useful.
4:22: Guessing not all ingredients want the exact same chill.
4:25: Precisely.
4:26: That 2 to 8 range is great generally, but maybe you want your salad greens slightly cooler than your cooked meats within that range.
4:32: Adjustability gives you that fine tuning ability, optimize it for whatever you're storing, maximize freshness, and shelf life.
4:39: And they come in different sizes, 234 doors, clearly about matching the unit to the kitchen's needs, right?
4:45: Small takeaway versus big pizzeria.
4:48: Exactly right.
4:48: A little place with a simple menu, a two door might be plenty.
4:52: Enough storage, enough workspace, but a busy city place.
4:55: Yeah, high volume, lots of different toppings.
4:58: They'll need the bigger capacity of a 3 or 4 door model, more topping space on top, plus way more storage underneath for backups.
5:05: It's all about scaling the gear to your actual output.
5:08: Makes sense.
5:09: Then there's forced air cooling.
5:11: Hear that about home fridges too, but what's the advantage?
5:14: Consistency, that's the key.
5:16: Forced air uses fans to push the cold air all around the unit.
5:20: Top and bottom.
5:21: Both the storage area below and the ingredient wells up top.
5:24: It gets rid of warm spots you might find in simpler static cooling systems.
5:29: so everything stays at the right temperature, no matter where it is in the unit.
5:32: Exactly, which is vital for food safety, obviously, but also just for keeping all those different ingredients at their best quality and energy efficiency always a big factor now.
5:42: Lower running costs.
5:43: Absolutely.
5:45: Modern units are much better these days.
5:47: Good insulation, efficient compressors, smarter controls, they all help cut down electricity use, which means lower bills, good for the planet, good for the pocket.
5:56: That's it, makes financial sense alongside being a bit greener.
6:00: OK, so we get the features, the benefits.
6:02: If someone's actually looking to buy one, what are the absolute must think abouts before they splash the cash?
6:08: Number one, size and capacity.
6:11: Measure your space.
6:12: Carefully, they go from 900 millimeters up to 2.5 m wide.
6:16: Huge range, it is.
6:17: So measure first.
6:18: Then think hard about your menu.
6:20: How many different topping containers those GN pans do you actually need out and ready?
6:25: Right, depends on the complexity of your pizzas or salads.
6:27: Totally.
6:28: And don't forget the storage underneath.
6:30: Will a two-door hold enough backup stuff, or do you need a 3 or 4 door for your volume?
6:35: Match the size and the capacity to what you actually do?
6:38: And workflow, installation, you mentioned positioning it near the oven, but not too near, that sounds important.
6:43: Yeah, it's about creating a smart layout.
6:46: You want it handy for the pizza station, obviously, but stick it right next to a hot oven and it's going to struggle to stay cool.
6:52: Work harder, use more energy.
6:54: Exactly, and check the plug.
6:56: Most are standard 13 amp plugs here in the UK, but just double check.
7:01: Avoids hassle later.
7:03: Good practical tip and refrigerant type.
7:05: You mentioned R290 earlier as being better for the environment.
7:08: Yeah, R290 is a natural hydrocarbon, much lower impact on global warming compared to older types of refrigerants.
7:15: Choosing an R290 unit is, well, more sustainable, could be important with future regulations too.
7:21: Looks better for the business image as well, perhaps.
7:23: OK, good point.
7:24: So features, buying tips.
7:26: Let's get practical.
7:28: How do these things actually work day to day?
7:29: Paint us that picture.
7:30: OK, so imagine the bottom part.
7:33: It's basically a solid commercial fridge.
7:36: Shelves you can adjust, temperature control keeping everything nice and cool, 2 to 8 degrees, your workhorse storage.
7:42: Got it, reliable fridge underneath.
7:45: Then the top surface, often stainless steel, sometimes even granite, nice and tough for working on rolling dough, whatever, and built into that worktop are the refrigerated wells designed perfectly to hold those GM containers full of your chopped peppers, shredded cheese, olives.
8:03: All your ingredients.
8:04: OK, I see it.
8:05: So you're literally standing there working right above your chilled supply, super streamlined.
8:09: That's exactly it.
8:10: And that forced air cooling we talked about, it chills those topwells too.
8:14: keeps the toppings cold even when they're out.
8:16: Yeah, circulates cold air constantly.
8:18: So even during a mad rush when the lids might be off a lot, those ingredients stay properly chilled.
8:23: A chef can stretch dough, reach over, grab toppings, boom, boom, boom, no walking away, everything cold, everything close.
8:30: That sounds incredibly smooth.
8:31: We actually have a quote here from Marco Romano, a pizza equipment specialist.
8:35: He says, when you're tossing dough and prepping toppings, A good pizza prep counter is your best friend, cold storage below, workspace on top, and everything within arm's reach.
8:46: Trust me, the right setup keeps your kitchen flowing smoother than melted mozzarella.
8:51: Huh.
8:52: Great analogy, and he's spot on.
8:54: It just optimizes that crucial prep stage.
8:57: But like any food equipment, safety's got to be top of mind, right?
9:00: What are the absolute must-do safety guidelines?
9:03: Oh, definitely.
9:04: First off, daily temperature checks.
9:06: Use a proper probe thermometer.
9:08: Make sure it's staying in that safe 28 degree C zone.
9:11: No guessing, absolutely.
9:13: Then rigorous cleaning every day.
9:16: Sanitize the work surfaces, wash out those ingredient containers, prevent any cross-contamination risk.
9:21: Makes sense.
9:22: Also, never block the air vents.
9:24: The unit needs to breathe to cool properly.
9:26: Well, don't stack boxes against it.
9:27: Exactly.
9:28: Use a FIFO system first in, first out for your ingredients.
9:32: Rotate your stocks so you're always using the oldest first.
9:35: Cuts waste, ensures freshness, and a big one.
9:39: Never ever switch the unit off if there's still food inside.
9:43: Obvious maybe, but crucial.
9:45: Things will spoil fast.
9:47: And finally get it professionally serviced once a year, just keeps it running safely and efficiently.
9:52: Good checklist and to really get the most out of them, any top tips for actually using the counters day to day.
9:58: Yeah, a few simple things help.
10:00: Pre-chill it, turn it on for at least a couple of hours before you load it up with food.
10:05: Get it down to temperature properly.
10:07: Good tip.
10:08: When things are slow, keep the lids on the topping containers, helps maintain the temperature, stop stuff drying out.
10:14: Clean those GN pans daily, definitely, and give the air filter a quick, clean weekly helps with airflow and efficiency.
10:22: OK.
10:22: Think about layout when you load it.
10:24: Arrange your toppings logically for how you build your pizzas or salads, speed things up.
10:29: Like an assembly line.
10:30: Pretty much.
10:31: And keep backups of your main ingredients in the main walk-in fridge or another fridge.
10:36: Avoids running out mid-service.
10:38: Smart planning.
10:39: So putting all this together, what are the real tangible payoffs for a business investing in one?
10:45: The bottom line benefits.
10:47: Well, the biggest one usually mentioned is time, big time savings.
10:51: Easy equipment, reckon it can speed up service by like 40%, 40%.
10:56: That's huge.
10:57: It's a massive difference per order.
10:59: Then obviously fresher ingredients.
11:01: Keeping stuff at the perfect temperature means better quality, better taste.
11:05: Customers notice that.
11:06: Happy customers, repeat business, exactly, and less waste.
11:11: Proper cooling makes ingredients last longer, less stuff getting thrown out, which saves money directly.
11:16: Time, quality, less waste.
11:18: Strong arguments and the numbers back it up, you know, a good setup can help a team knock out like 100 pizzas an hour.
11:25: Wow, yeah.
11:26: Or think about this.
11:27: Being just 1 degree C off the ideal temperature can cut the shelf life of some things by 25%.
11:33: It can be.
11:34: And modern units often have auto evaporation for condensation.
11:37: No manual draining needed saves a bit of labor.
11:39: Nice little bonus.
11:40: And look, a good quality counter, if you look after it, it can last 10 years, maybe more.
11:45: Solid investment.
11:46: Really compelling stats, and we have another expert view here from Chris, their refrigeration specialist.
11:52: He says, The right pizza prep counter can boost output by 30%.
11:57: It's all about keeping ingredients accessible and perfectly chilled, the cornerstone of consistent quality.
12:02: Yeah, sums it up well.
12:04: He flags the pros, better workflow, less prep time, food safety.
12:09: It also reminds us, you know, they need regular cleaning and maintenance.
12:12: Sure, it's a responsibility, comes with the territory, but the benefits for the right kind of place way outweigh the.
12:18: So who are these right kind of places who really needs one of these?
12:22: Well, pizzeria is obviously, especially high volume ones.
12:24: It's almost standard kit, yeah, but also any restaurant doing lots of made to order salads, sandwiches, huge benefit for them too.
12:33: Speed, freshness, right, deli counters, cafes, yeah, fast food places assembling burgers or wraps with fresh toppings.
12:40: perfect for them.
12:41: Speeds up the line.
12:42: Even hotel kitchens.
12:43: Think breakfast prep, room service orders, they can really streamline things with one of these surprisingly versatile kit.
12:50: And there's a real world story, right?
12:51: It's a pizzeria in Birmingham.
12:53: Yeah, good example.
12:55: They were struggling with workflow, keeping ingredients fresh.
12:58: They put in a three-door prep counter, paired it with a dough mixer, and the result.
13:02: Owner said prep time was cut in half, literally half.
13:05: The ingredients stayed fresh way longer.
13:08: And overall output jumped by 35%.
13:11: 35% increase.
13:12: That's significant.
13:13: The massive impact on their business, productivity, profit, it all ties together.
13:18: Great case study really shows the difference that can make coming.
13:21: And I bet people considering buying one have common questions.
13:25: What sort of FAQs pop up?
13:26: Yeah, typical stuff like how often to clean.
13:29: Daily for the containers, weekly deep clean for the unit is the usual advice.
13:33: OK, ideal temperature.
13:35: Generally aiming for that 2 to 5 degrees C range within the unit, nice and safe, keeps things crisp.
13:41: Can you leave toppings in overnight?
13:43: Yes, usually fine if they're properly covered with lids and you're following all the food safety rules, right?
13:48: Capacity for toppings depends on the model, but often holds around 6 to 12 of those standard GM 13 size pans.
13:55: Installation.
13:56: Easy or hard?
13:58: Mostly pretty easy plug and play for standard ones, but getting the position right, away from heat, ensuring ventilation, maybe get professional advice on that bit.
14:08: Good idea.
14:08: And can you use a salad prep counter for pizza?
14:11: Often, yes.
14:12: The main difference might just be the layout of the wells on top, but fundamentally they do the same job.
14:17: Worth checking the specifics though.
14:19: And just flicking through, say, the easy equipment site, you see loads of options, don't you?
14:24: Well, yeah, different sizes like we said, 2 door, 3 door, some with stainless steel tops, some with granite.

These clever units combine refrigeration with accessible workspace—imagine a commercial fridge with a built-in preparation area! The lower section functions as a standard refrigerator with adjustable shelving and temperature control systems maintaining 2-8°C. Above sits the preparation area featuring a durable stainless steel or granite worktop alongside refrigerated ingredient wells (gastronorm containers) that keep toppings fresh and within arm's reach. Most models use forced-air cooling systems that circulate cold air throughout, ensuring even temperature distribution. Simply prep your pizzas or salads directly atop the counter, with everything you need just centimetres away!

For optimal performance, always pre-chill your prep counter for at least two hours before loading ingredients. Keep lids on topping containers during quiet periods to maintain freshness and temperature. Clean gastronorm containers daily, and don't forget weekly cleaning of the air filter to maintain cooling efficiency. Arrange toppings in logical order based on your menu for faster assembly, and consider keeping backup ingredients in your main refrigerator for quick refills during busy periods.
