Organizer O121C with Ice Compartment

A worktop organizer designed to keep ingredients chilled at the point of use. The O121C provides a dedicated space for ice or ice packs, allowing perishable items to be stored within arm's reach while maintaining safe temperatures during service.

In professional kitchens, ingredients that require refrigeration—such as fresh herbs, dairy, or seafood—often need to be close to the chef without occupying space in the main refrigerator. This organizer addresses that need by incorporating a chilled zone directly on the work surface. Ice or ice packs placed in the designated compartment absorb heat from the surrounding air, creating a cooler microclimate within the unit. The effect is localised and immediate, reducing the risk of spoilage during preparation without relying on distant refrigeration.

The O121C is used by placing ice or ice packs into the central compartment. Ingredients are then arranged in the adjacent storage spaces, where they remain cooler than the ambient kitchen temperature. The unit is positioned on the worktop near the chef's station, allowing quick access to chilled items without interrupting workflow. Once the ice melts, it is replaced to restore the cooling effect.

Construction consists of food-safe materials suitable for direct contact with ingredients. The organizer is divided into three compartments: one larger section of 0.95 litres and two smaller sections of 0.47 litres each. These volumes allow for organised separation of different ingredients while keeping them within the chilled zone.

No controls are fitted; the cooling effect is maintained by replenishing the ice as needed. The organizer's footprint is compact, making it suitable for busy worktops where space is limited. Its volume specifications indicate the capacity available for storing ingredients, while the inclusion of an ice compartment defines its primary function.

Cleaning involves removing any remaining ice or water, washing the compartments with warm soapy water, and drying thoroughly before reuse. The absence of electrical components simplifies maintenance, though regular ice replacement is necessary to sustain the cooling effect.

The O121C is categorised as a worktop organizer with integrated cooling for professional catering environments.
