What Are the Benefits of a Sushi Fridge?
By Stana Peete Submitted On February 19, 2014
Sushi is one of those dishes that you either love or you hate. It is an acquired taste that many people around the world have acquired. Thus making it a very popular dish in every country and the interest in sushi is growing rapidly all over the world. This is the reason why oriental restaurants need to have certain processes in place to ensure the best quality and freshest sushi in town. Restaurant owners need to ensure freshness by investing in a sushi fridge.
Why should you invest in a sushi fridge and not just use the commercial fridge that you currently have? What are the benefits and reasons for acquiring a sushi fridge?
Well, let's take a look at the following benefits:
- First of all, you need to consider the shelf life of prepared sushi. Sushi is a dish that is consumed raw. Without the cooking process this leaves the raw fish open to many bacterial risks which need to be contained and monitored. Once the sushi is prepared, it needs to be placed into the refrigerator immediately if it is not going to be consumed right away. Then it needs to be served within 24 hours of refrigeration. After this time period the risk of contamination increases. The first and main benefit of a sushi fridge is that it keeps the sushi refrigerated and fresh therefore decreasing the growth of bacteria. Ensuring the safety of the dish to be served.
- The second benefit of the sushi fridge is that you can store all the sushi dishes in one commercial fridge separately from the other food items. Keeping it separate from other food items, such as meat and chicken, will lower the risk of cross contamination. Thus keeping the sushi fresh and healthy.
- Sushi fridges are ideal for display purposes. Place your display fridge in a position where your customers can clearly see the fridge and its contents. The delicately and beautifully styled sushi will entice customers to buy these dishes because they look appealing. This is a good tactic because it encourages more customers to buy what they see and consequently your sushi dishes should all be sold before the end of the day.
It may seem like an unnecessary expense to purchase another fridge for your restaurant but the benefits of having a sushi display fridge far outweighs the negatives. You want to ensure the freshness of the dish and consider the safety of your customers. So there is no question that a sushi fridge will add value to your restaurant.
