Blast Chiller Chilling Rates - Master Bilt MCR-33101 Installation & Operation Instructions

PLACE PANNED FOOD ON RACK FOR CHILLING
Rack should be:
Fully loaded with pans of food before it is moved into the Blast Chiller
NOTICE
Partial loads of food do not reduce the effectiveness of the Blast Chiller.
Pan placement:
-There is no requirement for specific placement of foods on the rack
-All locations are equally exposed to the flow of super-cooled air within Blast Chiller.
CHILLING RATES FOR BLAST CHILLER
Chilling rates are dependent upon food:
-Density
-Mass
-Input temperature
Example:
Blast chilling rates vary:
Light density foods (such as eggs) may require 12-15 minutes of blast chilling time
High-density foods such as stews or roasts may require up to 90 minutes of blast
chilling time
Pans of poached, scrambled, or fried eggs cool to 36-40F more quickly than pans
beef stew
Check food temperature with an accurate hand-held thermometer
NOTICE
See your Cook-Chill Training Manual for suggested chilling times.

1. Covers:
a. Shield food
b. Cause slow foods surface cooling
