What Is Salad Bar Equipment?
Salad bar equipment is used to keep salad items cold. It is most commonly used in restaurants, hospital dining rooms, and other food service areas. Salad bars can be used for restaurant patrons, allowing them to help themselves to the food, or in the kitchen, keeping food cold for servers and cooks to prepare. Salad ingredients are put into the equipment to keep it fresh and free from bacteria. The temperature is kept at no higher than 40 degrees F (4.4 degrees C), because bacteria cannot thrive in the cold.
