Cool Under Pressure : Why a Blast Chiller Might Be Your Kitchen’s Smartest Addition.

When it comes to food safety, efficiency, and prep flexibility, few pieces of kit punch above their weight quite like a blast chiller. And right now, we’ve got something rare on our hands — a graded Blizzard BCF20 in as-new condition. That’s not a typo. This is a chance to upgrade your kitchen with serious cooling power — without breaking the bank.

Why Blast Chillers Matter

Blast chillers rapidly lower the temperature of cooked food, taking it through the danger zone (8°C–63°C) in record time. That means:

• Improved food safety and reduced bacterial risk
• Better shelf life for chilled prep
• Fresher taste and texture retention
• Compliance with EHO and HACCP requirements

For caterers, restaurants, and prep-heavy sites, it’s the ideal way to stay ahead during busy service or batch cooking.

Spotlight on the BCF20

The Blizzard BCF20 is a compact and highly efficient blast chiller/freezer, capable of chilling up to 20kg of food at a time or freezing 15kg. It’s designed to accept 5 x GN 1/1 trays, giving you just the right balance of space-saving footprint and operational power.

• Rapid cooling: Chill 20kg from 70°C to 3°C in 90 minutes
• Versatile sizing: At just 755mm wide, it fits neatly into tighter kitchen layouts
• Full stainless steel inside and out for easy hygiene
• Digital control panel with core probe for accurate readings
• Self-closing door and manual defrost

Whether you’re handling prep for tomorrow’s service or rapidly cooling down sauces and roasts post-cook, the BCF20 is sized just right to keep production moving.

A Rare Graded Find

What makes this one special? It’s a graded model — but Grade A, in near-perfect condition. These units rarely come up, and when they do, they don’t hang around long.
