Stainless steel blast chiller with door ajar allowing condensed water vapor to exit the freezer chamber

Blast Chillers (aka Blast Freezers or Flash Freezers) are designed let chefs to quickly & safely lower the temperature of food faster & more efficiently than a traditional ice-bath or other methods. Blast Chillers can typically chill food from 160°F to 41°F or less in about 90 minutes. Compare this to HACCP guidelines, which require food be chilled from 140°F (or more) to 70ºF in two hours, and then below 41ºF in another 4 hours or less (A total of 6 hours). The rapid chill process also minimizes loss of moisture (shrinkage), maximizes nutrition and minimizes loss of food taste/quality that occurs during longer cooling periods.
