Why this counter fridge earns its place
The Lincat Blu Chef Base BD20032 FD187 is a refrigerated chef base — a low, heavy-duty unit that takes countertop cooking equipment on top while keeping chilled stock in two gastronorm drawers underneath. It is designed for heavy-duty Opus 800 equipment such as chargrills, griddles and induction hobs, turning the space beneath the cook line into useful refrigerated storage.
In service, the section works off the top and pulls chilled prep straight from the drawers below, so ingredients stay to hand at the pass without a separate fridge. The drawers accept 1/1 GN 100mm-deep containers, with 34 litres of net chilled volume and a -2 to +8 °C operating range for service stock that needs to stay close to the heat.
It is built in 304 stainless steel inside and out, with self-closing heavy-duty drawers, removable drawers, rounded internal corners and removable rubber magnetic gaskets for cleaning. At 615 × 813 × 826 mm and 125 kg, it is a serious base rather than a light counter; the castors help pull it out for deep cleans, and the 230V three-pin plug connection keeps installation straightforward.
