Chef Bases
Refrigerated equipment stands designed to support cooklines while providing cold storage beneath cooking appliances.
Chef bases combine refrigerated drawers with a reinforced top surface capable of supporting cooking equipment such as griddles, charbroilers, and countertop fryers. These units give chefs immediate access to chilled ingredients placed directly beneath the cooking area, improving speed and workflow efficiency.
