How Commercial Pizza & Salad Prep Counters Work

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!
