Cook-Chill is a simple, controlled system of advanced food preparation designed to provide more flexibility in foodservice. The technique involves the full cooking of food, followed by rapid chilling and storage at controlled temperatures, for up to five days.
When needed for service, the food must be rethermalized.. The production system itself is simple to operate if well managed, and minimizes the risk of food spoilage or contamination.
Cook-Chill Systems have the added benefit of retaining food quality, nutritional value, flavor, and appearance. Using a Cook- Chill System also offers the foodservice operator added flexibility and management and, of course, profitability!
Benefits of using a Cook-Chill System
Providing confidence in food safety compliance while preserving food quality, flavour and appearance
Williams Refrigeration leads the way in the manufacture and distribution of Blast Chilling and Freezing products worldwide. From the smallest caterer to the largest production unit, whether on land or at sea, Williams provides the innovation and flexibility needed for creating the ideal cook chill system.
Williams Blast Chillers are capable of rapidly reducing the temperature of hot foods (+160°F) to low, safe temperatures (+38°F) making it easier for operators to comply with Food Safety regulations. In fact, many caterers are using them solely for that purpose, and in doing so are performing a very simple Cook-Chill operation. Nevertheless, only using a Blast Chiller to cool cooked food rapidly for immediate or same day service, is not making the most of the equipment. Williams Blast Chillers can also be used as short term storage cabinets.
Williams continually invest in product design and development to bring you the highest quality engineering performance and reliability. Using the latest control systems and technology, Williams range of Blast Chillers and Blast Freezers are all driven by our unique Simple to Use 1-2-3 Control Panel featuring the 3-step operation that all staff will find easy to operate within only a few moments of basic induction. In fact, many users need no induction at all – it’s that Easy!
Avoid the risks of food poisoning – control bacteria growth
The very young and elderly are most at risk from food poisoning, however, everyone can be affected. Litigation and prosecution are on the rise, so you can’t afford to take chances. Bacteria can divide in two every 20 minutes and in 12 hours one bacterium multiplies to become almost 69 billion. With a proper Cook-Chill System and Williams Blast Chillers, you can take the risk out of your operation.
Thousands of establishments throughout the whole spectrum of the foodservice industry use Cook-Chill Systems.
Anyone who has ever eaten at a top restaurant or hotel, at a banquet or reception, or on an airplane or ship is likely to have eaten a Cook-Chill meal. Cook-Chill Systems are also used by many institutional operators such as hospitals and universities.
The WBC35 is designed to reduce the temperature of 35 lbs. of 2” deep, uncovered food from 160°F to 38°F in approximately 90 minutes or less and is built to ISO 9001 and 14001 Standard.
The cabinet front, sides, door and interior are constructed of polished stainless steel to maintain an attractive appearance after years of heavy use whilst the door is self closing and has an easy to replace magnetic balloon gasket to prevent the cold air from escaping.
