There's no better way to ensure properly chilled plates or frosted glasses than by using the Avantco GF36-HC 36" black glass froster.
This glass froster is the perfect way to cool your salad plates before service or put a delicate layer of frost on your craft beer glasses. By frosting beer glasses, you can keep your craft beers cool and fresh tasting! Plus, salads served on chilled plates stay crisp longer so you never need to worry about limp, wilted lettuce leaves. While this unit is not for storing food or beverages, it is great for preparing the plates or glasses you will use to serve guests. Also, it does not need to be running continuously so your staff can turn it off after hours to save electricity!

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers
Does Avantco warrant this item for use in a food truck?
Avantco warrants new equipment sold to food truck customers to be operational for a period of 30 days from the date of delivery if installed and maintained correctly.
I haven’t heard of R-290, R-600a, R-513a, or R-448A refrigerant before. What is it?
R-290 (also known as high purity propane or CARE 40) and R-600a (also known as refrigerant grade Isobutane or CARE 10) are hydrocarbon refrigerants. R513a (also known as Opteon XP10) and R-448A (also known as Solstice N40) are HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants. They are being used by some manufacturers in response to the EPA’s Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program.
