The Benefits of a Modern Commercial Ice Cream Freezer
Display freezers for ice cream have been among us for a long time and they still have a very important role in selling ice cream. But, there are a lot of additional facts you should be aware when it comes to ice cream freezers. They are especially important in the summer, making the cool, tasty treat all the more appealing with the moist air surrounding.
But more than just the popularity and impact of freezers on summer ice cream sales, there are a few more things to know about them.
Being able to upgrade and offer more
A standard ice cream dipping cabinet may offer room for 2-4 types of ice cream and ingredients, but you can raise your standards. Newer models give you an interesting option. They can be upgraded so they will offer more alternatives. You can choose between 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 serving space options. Yes, each one is more than just productive and can assist you in making better sales. Also, they look nice and can boost the productivity of your restaurant or a coffee house.
Very little cleaning required
One of the interesting advantages of newer freezer is the fact you can use your ice cream freezer for a long time before it actually needs a proper cleaning. Conventional freezers will require daily cleaning, which is a time-consuming and annoying procedure. New models donโt. Their design is specifically developed for this purpose and they are capable of staying clean for a longer period of time.
We should add that they are also more durable than conventional models and they are equipped with systems which maintain the proper temperature at all times.
They can fit anywhere
A modern ice cream cooler will fit anywhere you want it. It can be perfectly positioned in the smallest corner of a restaurant or a shop and it will still provide the best results. Older ones are more complicated to implement into your restaurant and they require more space.
Come in a variety of shapes and different glass panels
An ice cream fridge can look any way you want it to look. The number of glass panels and their shape is something that can make a difference. You can choose between various options which will make your ice cream look any way you want it to look. A single panel is the base model but you can get those with 4 panels, which look high-end.
Summary
A modernized ice cream freezer is definitely something you will want. Nowadays, they are essential, but more than that, they can make your place look extraordinary. Old models were a decent choice, but new ones are just great. They come with a variety of features and they are impressive even for people who have been in the ice cream business a long time.
Must Have Features For Your Ice Cream Freezers
A commercial display freezer is a powerful piece of equipment that will keep things cold. But, the real question is what else can it offer? In order to answer this, we must understand that there are several different levels of ice cream display freezers. Basic models are freezers with a display panel, which is sufficient, but not ideal. More sophisticated models are far better in this area and they offer plenty of additional features.
The size
Obviously, the first and the most important factor to consider is the size of a freezer. There are various models out there and each one is a bit different. Some of them may keep so much ice cream that you cannot sell all of it during a single day. Others are more oriented towards smaller applications, for coffee houses where a few ice cream servings per day are sufficient.
The shape
The shape is usually similar, for all models. Basically, you have a flat freezer where you will place your ice cream and a glass cover which is used to keep the ice cream cool, but also to allow for potential customers to have a peek. Upright freezers are not so popular or useful. Only a few models with this design are available, but they are difficult to find and they are generally impractical.
Eco-friendly freezers are the best option
All of these freezers are optimized to operate for working hours and even through the night. When the temperature outside is higher than usual, a freezer will have to use more energy to keep the temperature low. On the other hand, when the temperature is lower, a freezer will use less energy. But, eco-friendly models are optimized to use a low amount of energy at all times. They are real money-savers and you definitely want one. Older units are not energy efficient models and they can cause a severe spike in your energy bill.
Storage Space
Some freezers have room for 4 different ice creams, while other have space for 16 different ice creams. It is up to you, but recommended models are capable of offering an upgrade in the terms of space inside. You can add a few more flavors and extend your offer. Those with a place for 16 ice creams are high-end models.
Design
An ice cream dipping freezer must look nice at all times. In case it isnโt, your customers may get a bad impression about the ice cream. The models with big glass surfaces are the best choice, while those with smaller ones are less ideal. In any case, the first type is highly recommended. They are also great due to the fact they are more practical to use. Keep in mind that ice cream freezers designed for kitchen usages are fully closed and they wonโt come with glass panels.
Summary
The best ice cream freezer display doesnโt have to be the biggest. It has to be the one which suits you the most.

How To Make Ice Cream Better
Ice cream is a great treat that deserves to be served and displayed well. It is always delicious, but there are ways to make it even more desirable.ย ย It will look much better in an ice cream dipping cabinetย and it will be more appealing to guests. So, the real question is, how can you make and serve ice cream to your customers in the best way possible?
Cool it properly
Before any other step, it is essential to cool the ice cream to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. A high-quality ice cream display freezer will be capable of providing this service at all times. In a nutshell, it creates a wonderful foundation for the ice cream to be ready to become other shapes, sizes or mixtures.
Chilling is also beneficial for the texture and flavor. Tiny ice crystals actually make the ice cream taste better- however, it is important to maintain a happy medium in term of ice crystals because too many will create a frosty, unpleasant taste. So, the bottom line here is that a chilled ice cream base makes it better, more delicious and appealing to more people.
The more butterfat, the better
Did you know that ice cream has a similar texture to bread? Basically, both of them are foams, meaning that there are millions of tiny connections in the ice cream, as well as bread. So, how you can make the connections better? One way you can do this is you can add more cream. This will make the ice cream fluffier and more pleasant from the first taste.
Essentially, milk makes ice cream firmer. Some of the best-known types of ice creams and some of the best manufacturers add more milk than cream, which has the benefit we mentioned. You can choose any direction/firmness you want, just try to aim for a good mixture and combination of firmness and softness, by utilizing both cream and milk and constantly checking the consistency. Commercial freezers can help provide consistency in terms of texture, so contactย Excellence Industriesย and make sure you are up to par with current refrigeration standards.
Add sugar or honey
Bakers will add sugar to bread to make it sweet. You can do the same with your ice cream. Adding sugar or some other type of sweetener is beneficial. First of all, the ice cream wonโt freeze completely if the sugar levels are high. This will provide a much better taste. Some lower quality freezers will freeze ice cream without sugar completely, which may affect its taste and flavor, so watch out for that at suppliers other than Excellence Industries.
There are some alternative to sugar. You can use honey, which gives the ice cream an interesting flavor. You can use glucose syrup as well. Both of them are healthier than using actual sugar. Corn syrup can also be utilized. However, watch out for the consistency of the ice cream as using sugar alternatives may alter it, especially corn syrup, which is known to give ice cream a chewier texture.
Summary
Ice cream is delicious, but not always foolproof. You have to take into account the amount of milk/cream being used, as well as the amount of sugar- as these variables contribute to the texture and consistency. A great way to ensure your ice cream is at optimal temperature, consistency and taste, is to buy a high-quality commercial freezer, such as those offered atย Excellence Industries.
