Chef Bases

Chef bases are made to maximize your workspace by supporting equipment above and storing ingredients

below. You’ll often find griddles and grills positioned atop these bases. The chef base is equipped with

a heat shield that deflects heat and safeguards the refrigerator cavity below. It is essential to adhere to

the manufacturer’s instructions to prolong the unit’s life and maintain safe food holding temperatures.

While chef bases are NSF-7 certified for open food storage, it’s important to note they are not intended

for long-term storage. They are specifically designed for the cold storage of immediate-use products on

the cooking line, ensuring freshness and accessibility. A typical

use would be to store burgers, chicken, steak and other proteins

below a grill.

Chef bases are available in various lengths to suit different

kitchen layouts and equipment needs, but it is important to

consider the weight of the equipment that is intended to be

placed on top.
