The Chefbase series is a refrigerator designed to hold hot cooking equipment on top, while housing cold ingredients at the bottom. Its quick-access drawers make it easy for chefs to grab the item they need in cooking. Everest chefbases are built with a unique, patented, anti-warp worktop which withstands intense heat from griddles, grills and fryers while insulating the refrigerated interior. The line is equipped with Blizzard R290 - the industry's first, all-in-one, slide-out cooling cartridge designed for rapid cooling, safety, and ease of replacement without the need for onsite brazing. Blizzard R290 uses natural, climate-friendly, hydrocarbon refrigerant, an effective alternative to hydrofluorocarbon-based refrigerants that meets the daily energy consumption standards of the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environment Protection Agency. Enjoy significant reduction in energy costs and carbon emissions with more efficient cooling.
