Casselin Refrigerated Sauce Rack GN 2/4 for Professional Kitchens

A refrigerated sauce rack keeps prepared sauces at serving temperature without reheating. The eutectic plate inside the unit stores cold energy when connected to a power supply, then releases it gradually to maintain a consistent chill around the pots. This method avoids the noise and vibration of a compressor, making it suitable for front-of-house use where quiet operation matters.

The operator loads the four porcelain pots with sauces, soups or condiments, then places the rack in a refrigerated area or connects it to a power source to charge the eutectic plate. Once charged, the rack can be moved to a worktop, buffet line or pass without losing its cooling effect for several hours. The pots sit directly on the plate, ensuring even temperature distribution across all four containers.

The frame is built from black epoxy-painted steel, chosen for its resistance to chipping and corrosion in a busy kitchen. Each porcelain pot has a diameter of 125 mm and a depth of 145 mm, holding 1.25 litres. The GN 2/4 footprint matches standard gastronorm trays, allowing the rack to slot into existing counter setups or storage trolleys.

Controls are minimal: the eutectic plate requires only a power connection to charge, with no thermostat or timer to adjust. The 540 mm width fits neatly between standard worktop appliances, while the 200 mm height leaves clearance for lids or serving utensils. At 7.5 kg, the rack is light enough for one person to lift onto a counter or into a cupboard.

Cleaning involves removing the porcelain pots to wash separately, then wiping the steel frame and eutectic plate with a damp cloth. The epoxy finish resists staining, but abrasive cleaners should be avoided to preserve the surface. The pots are dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing prolongs their gloss.

The rack is designed for GN 2/4 compatibility, fitting equipment from brands that follow the gastronorm standard. It appears in the Casselin catalogue under refrigerated serving equipment, alongside chilled display units and buffet stations.
