Dipping cabinets are a staple item for any restaurant, cafe, or ice cream shop serving hard ice cream. Visual dipping cabinets typically have sliding glass lids for quick access to product while allowing for customers to easily view product without opening the lid. Horizontal dipping cabinets feature a stainless steel top with dual access removable lids (good for both storage and display), while chest freezers are perfect for storing extra gallons of ice cream after your initial bulk purchases.

Instead, shock freeze at 0°F or +10°F; the water in the ice cream is transformed into micro-crystals that maintain initial quality intact and do not ruin the structure. Walk-in freezers can then store these frozen products as well for long-ter

Portioning tools like an ice cream disher help to not only ensure similar scoop sizes but are also great at creating a smooth, rounded scoop every time. Be sure to store these in your dipper well between use. Dippers utilize defrosted liquid in the handle for easier scooping. When your ice cream dishers and dippers are not in use, you’ll want to store them in a filled dipper well.
