Blast Chillers
Whatever the type of Blast Chiller you use, it
must be capable of chilling the hot food to between 32°F and
37°F within 90 minutes of placing it in the Blast Chiller
and commencing to chill. This is not only to ensure safety, but
also preserves the appearance, tex-ture, flavor and nutritional
value of food. Your Blast Chiller should be equipped with a food
probe or probes with which you can monitor the temperature of
the food.
Every dish has its ideal cooking method to suit
its density or structure, this applies to Blast Chilling too.
It is important to have the options of Hard or Soft Blast Chilling
available to ensure food is not damaged in the process and the
quality is maintained.
The speed at which chilling takes place will
be affected by the shape, size and density of the food, its moisture
content, heat capacity and entry temperature. Placing lids on
containers or stacking them on top of one another, will increase
the chilling time required. However, covering food can protect
against contamination, and is therefore sometimes appropriate
as long as chilling can still be achieved within the required
time limits.
Hard Blast Chill
During the 90 minute process the air temperature
in the cabinet drops below freezing point. This is designed for
dense, large products, which are difficult to chill and have a
higher fat content such as meat-based sauces, meat joints, mashed
potato and lasagna. The air temperature of the cabinet ensures
the product reaches the required 37ºF within the 90 minutes
without the risk of freezing or damaging the food.
Soft Blast Chill
During the 90 minute process the air temperature
remains above 32ºF. This is ideal for delicate and light
products such as fish, rice, vegetables, cream, desserts, cakes
and fried foods. The soft blast chilling cycle gently reduces
the product temperature to 37ºF in the required 90 minutes
with no risk of damaging the delicate product.
