Why Temperature Stability Is Better with Refrigerated Drawers
If you care about the quality of your ingredients, saving on food waste and energy, then you definitely care about temperature stability. While fluctuating traditional doored cabinet refrigerators have long been the standard, a new generation of chefs and kitchen operators are making the switch to something smarter: refrigerated drawers. Specifically, those from Adande.
A Simple but Powerful Difference
Remove the air gaps and remove the fuss of playing produce hide-and-seek with cabinets. Switching to a drawer scientifically means you’re holding the cold as cold air drops and heat rises. This cold air is then made to stay with our patented insulated containers!
Unlike door-under-counter refrigeration, the Adande container keeps the cold air inside even with frequent openings. No more air falling out as you open the fridge. Meaning fewer temperature fluctuations that harm ingredients and energy bills.
Another difference is the even cooling. With other refrigeration, fans blow cold air into the cabinet unevenly. Adande technology gently cascades cool air evenly on your produce, so you can cool confidently and trust your quality ingredients with us.
Why Temperature Stability Matters
Traditional cabinet refrigerators are prone to sudden temperature spikes, especially during busy service times when doors are constantly opened. The result? Cold air escapes, humidity drops, and food gets exposed to ambient heat and dry air, shortening shelf life and increasing waste.
With Adande’s patented ‘Hold the Cold’ technology, refrigerated drawers work differently:
- Cold air gently falls into the insulated drawer—what we call low velocity cooling—rather than being forced around the unit with fans.
- This ensures consistent temperatures and high humidity, which helps prevent dehydration and preserve freshness.
- Even during frequent openings or in the hottest kitchen environments, the cold stays where it should; around your food.
Trusted by The Professionals
Adande isn’t just another refrigeration option, it’s a trusted partner for some of the most demanding kitchens in the industry. From Michelin-starred restaurants to fast-paced hotel operations, chefs and operators across the U.S. rely on Adande’s performance and reliability. Our modular design means drawers can be used:
- Freestanding
- Under counters
- As equipment stands
- Or even built into custom cook lines
Wherever they’re used, they deliver consistent results with minimal cold air loss, lower running costs, and superior food preservation.
Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly
Thanks to their airtight, insulated design and seals, Adande drawers significantly reduce energy consumption. Less compressor cycling means lower utility bills and because food stays fresher longer, kitchens waste less, saving even more money.
Plus, by minimising the environmental impact of food waste and energy use, Adande helps commercial kitchens move toward more sustainable operations without compromising on performance.
Designed for Real Kitchens
Whether positioned directly under a high-temp grill or stacked in prep areas, Adande drawers thrive in every environment. And with a clear bird’s eye view of the ingredients inside, chefs can access what they need faster, speeding up service and improving workflow.
In short? When it comes to temperature stability, performance, and food quality, refrigerated drawers from Adande are in a class of their own. It’s not just about keeping things cold, it’s about holding the cold exactly where you need it, exactly when you need it. Switch and turn away from doored refrigeration today!
