KOLD-DRAFT® to Chefs: Don't Overlook the Importance of Ice

October 12, 2010—KOLD-DRAFT® ice is ideal for back-of-house foodservice applications because the purer, more solid, and slower-melting ice lasts longer in storage bins, prep areas for meats and fish, buffet lines, seafood displays, and salad bars. The slower-melting full-cube or half-cube ice can help operators save money, time, and labor.

And KOLD-DRAFT remains the popular favorite for beverage service because the ice won't dilute drinks, helping to ensure perfect taste from first sip to last.

The science validates the KOLD-DRAFT message to owners, operators, and chefs looking for a better option for facility-wide ice service. KOLD-DRAFT ice is known for its perfect shape, purity, hardness, and proven slower melt rate*. KOLD-DRAFT's 1-1/4-inch full cubes are among the largest in the industry, and the only true "square cube." That means they not only look better, but also last longer. Need half cubes or crushed ice instead? KOLD-DRAFT crushed ice is made from harder, denser KOLD-DRAFT cubes, so it lasts longer and melts more slowly than flaked or other crushed ice.

The Ice Machines

KOLD-DRAFT's complete line of commercial ice makers includes compact ice machines that are ideal for small-volume ice production or as a backup during peak business hours; commercial ice makers that can be stacked, saving valuable floor space in small kitchens or anywhere space is a problem; and the workhorses, designed for large-volume production in restaurants and foodservice, or any application where ice is in constant, continuous demand. And KOLD-DRAFT equipment also offers some of the best recovery rates in the industry, producing more ice, more often.

Chefs and restaurateurs can also count on KOLD-DRAFT ice machines to last longer than any competitor's machine—and they're also energy efficient and "green," using environmentally friendly R-404A refrigerant.
