Why this ice pack earns its place
The Fusion Buffet Ice Cell isn't magic, but it's close. It's a simple, elegant system built around these cooler blocks. You freeze them in a regular freezer, place them in the plastic base tray, and layer your display trays on top. The blocks radiate cold upwards into whatever you've arranged above — charcuterie, cheese, appetisers, or bottles — and keep everything at serving temperature for a full three-hour service window. No cables, no noise, no refrigeration footprint in the dining room.
Each block weighs 2.56 kilograms (they're dense, which is why they hold their cold so well) and measures 240mm × 280mm across and 70mm tall. You get two in the pack, which is enough to chill a decent-sized display. The blocks are specifically designed to fit the standard and low-profile Gastronorm risers from D.W. Haber's Fusion Buffet range, so the sizing is engineered to work perfectly with the trays, pouches, and modular components.
The beauty of the system is that it's repeatable. Freeze the blocks overnight, build your display in the morning, serve for three hours, then break it down and refreeze for the next event. No waste, no complexity, just cold that lasts. The blocks are the investment that pays for itself across dozens of services and hundreds of events.
