Organizer O120Z with Ice Compartment

A worktop organizer designed to keep chilled ingredients within reach during service. The O120Z model from BHS includes a dedicated space for ice or ice packs, allowing perishable items to be stored at safe temperatures without leaving the preparation area. This arrangement eliminates the need to step away from the worktop, reducing movement and maintaining workflow efficiency in busy kitchens.

The organizer holds three separate containers, each with a capacity of 0.95 litres. These containers sit directly on the ice or ice packs, ensuring consistent cooling across all stored items. The method relies on conduction: the ice draws heat from the containers, keeping contents chilled without mechanical refrigeration. This approach is simple, requires no power, and is particularly useful for ingredients that need to stay cold but are used frequently, such as herbs, garnishes, or prepped vegetables.

To use the organizer, ice or ice packs are placed in the designated compartment at the base. The three containers are then positioned on top, ensuring they make full contact with the cooling surface. Ingredients are loaded into the containers as needed, and the organizer remains in place on the worktop throughout service. The ice or packs are replaced as they melt to maintain the required temperature.

Constructed to fit standard worktop depths, the O120Z measures 509 mm in length, 202 mm in width, and 200 mm in height. The footprint allows it to sit alongside other equipment without obstructing movement, while the low profile keeps ingredients accessible without reaching. The organizer is designed for use in professional kitchens where space and efficiency are critical.

The three 0.95-litre containers provide separate storage for different ingredients, preventing cross-contamination and allowing organised access. The size of each container is suited to small batches of frequently used items, reducing waste and ensuring freshness. The overall volume of the organizer is determined by the number and capacity of these containers, rather than a single large compartment.

Cleaning is straightforward: the containers can be removed and washed separately, while the main body of the organizer can be wiped down with a damp cloth. The absence of moving parts or electrical components simplifies maintenance, though regular replacement of ice or packs is necessary to sustain cooling performance.

The O120Z is part of the BHS range of worktop organisers, designed for use in professional catering environments where workflow and temperature control are priorities. Its dimensions and configuration make it suitable for placement on most standard worktops, alongside hobs, sinks, or prep areas.
