Description
The FWE Refrigerated Dough Retarder Cabinet is designed to provide optimal temperature and humidity control for dough preparation and preservation. Engineered with precision and reliability, this cabinet can hold up to (10) 18" x 26" sheet pans, making it the ideal solution for bakeries, pizzerias, and commercial kitchens that require consistent dough conditioning. The dough retarder cabinet helps maintain the perfect environment for slow-proofing dough, ensuring that your products develop the ideal texture, flavor, and rise before baking.
Key Features:
- Capacity for 10 Full-Size Sheet Pans (18" x 26"): This FWE dough retarder cabinet is designed to hold up to 10 full-size sheet pans, each measuring 18" x 26". The ample capacity allows for large batches of dough to be stored and slowly proofed, making it an excellent choice for high-volume bakeries, pastry shops, and pizza kitchens. The interior is spacious and organized to ensure even air circulation around each pan for consistent results.
- Temperature Control for Dough Retarding: Equipped with a precise refrigeration system, this cabinet maintains the perfect low-temperature environment for dough retarding. The consistent refrigeration helps slow down the yeast fermentation process, giving your dough time to develop flavor and structure without overproofing. The temperature control is easy to adjust and monitor, allowing bakers to fine-tune settings for specific dough recipes and requirements.
- Even Airflow and Humidity Regulation: The FWE Refrigerated Dough Retarder Cabinet features a fan-forced air circulation system that ensures even airflow throughout the cabinet. This guarantees that the dough is consistently exposed to cool air, preventing hot spots and uneven chilling. Additionally, the unit helps maintain optimal humidity levels, keeping the dough hydrated while retarding to prevent drying out or forming an undesirable crust.
- Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Built to withstand the demands of a busy kitchen, the dough retarder cabinet is constructed with durable stainless steel both inside and out. This construction ensures long-lasting performance, easy cleaning, and resistance to corrosion. The sturdy design also provides insulation, helping the unit maintain its temperature while reducing energy consumption.
- User-Friendly Digital Controls: The cabinet is equipped with digital controls for precise temperature and humidity management. The intuitive control panel allows for easy adjustments and real-time monitoring, giving users full control over the retarding process. The digital display shows the exact temperature, ensuring accuracy and reducing the risk of error.
- Energy-Efficient Refrigeration: Despite its high-performance cooling, this refrigerated dough retarder cabinet is designed to be energy-efficient, helping reduce overall operational costs. The energy-efficient compressor system ensures that the cabinet maintains its temperature without excessive power consumption, making it an eco-friendly choice for bakeries and kitchens.
- Heavy-Duty Casters for Mobility: The FWE dough retarder cabinet is designed with mobility in mind. Equipped with heavy-duty casters, the cabinet can be easily moved within the kitchen for cleaning, repositioning, or even for off-site catering applications. The casters are built to support the cabinet's weight and provide smooth movement on a variety of surfaces.
- Secure Door with Magnetic Gaskets: The cabinet is fitted with a stainless steel door that features magnetic gaskets to ensure a tight seal, keeping cold air inside the cabinet. This tight seal helps maintain consistent temperatures and prevents energy loss. The door also includes an ergonomic handle for easy opening and closing, even when your hands are full.
- Low Maintenance and Easy to Clean: The FWE Refrigerated Dough Retarder Cabinet is designed for low maintenance and easy cleaning. The stainless steel interior and exterior surfaces are smooth and easy to wipe down, while the removable pan racks make it simple to clean the inside of the cabinet. The refrigeration system is built for long-term durability, requiring minimal upkeep.
- Versatile Applications: While primarily designed for dough retarding, this cabinet is versatile enough to be used for a range of cold storage applications. From proofing pastry dough to storing prepared food items, it offers flexibility for bakeries, pizzerias, hotels, and catering services that require precise temperature control.
The FWE Hold (10) 18" x 26" Refrigerated Dough Retarder Cabinet is an essential tool for any bakery or commercial kitchen that requires consistent, reliable dough proofing and storage. With a spacious interior, precise temperature control, and durable construction, this cabinet ensures that your dough develops the perfect texture and flavor while being efficiently chilled. Its energy-efficient design, mobility features, and user-friendly controls make it an excellent investment for high-volume dough production, ensuring consistent results and superior quality.
