If you’re looking for a way to keep food items on display chilled without the hassle of ice, then a drop-in cold well is the perfect solution for you. These drop-in refrigerated cold wells can be easily mounted into wood or metal countertops, and their compressors will circulate refrigerant around the food pans to keep contents cold and at safe serving temperatures for hours at a time. You can find units with built-in compressors, as well as styles with remote compressors that can be controlled from several feet away.
Use a drop-in cold well to hold anything from salad, fruit cocktail, and drink garnishes to jello, pudding, and other chilled desserts. Our selection of drop-in refrigerated cold wells includes options with different numbers of compartments, so you can set out multiple types of food at once. You’ll also find forced air units that supply a cool air flow over top of food, as well as recessed units that prevent food contamination. We even carry curved models for use in semi-circle countertops, wells with slim profiles for installation in thinner counters, and slope top styles that provide maximum food visibility.
Since a drop-in cold well doesn’t require ice to keep contents cold, you don’t have to worry about replacing melted cubes or cleaning up pools of water. Simply plug the unit in and add food pans filled with fruits, vegetables, shredded cheese, and pasta salad. Best of all, these cold wells feature sleek and durable stainless steel constructions for a sophisticated display.
