Refrigerated Saladette
On the Bianchi Pro website, you can purchase a refrigerated saladette for restaurants and professional kitchens, along with various saladette accessories to make food preparation easier.
What is a Refrigerated Saladette and Where is it Used?
A refrigerated saladette is a piece of equipment primarily used in professional settings, such as restaurants, catering services, and delis, to store and serve fresh ingredients, including salads, vegetables, fruits, and other ready-to-use foods. It functions as a refrigerated display case, keeping ingredients at the ideal temperature to maintain their freshness.
Saladettes are equipped with refrigerated compartments, where containers of ingredients can be stored. The top section is often designed to hold GN pans, allowing easy access to ingredients, while the lower section provides temperature-controlled storage for other food items, such as sauces and dressings.
In some professional kitchens, a refrigerated salad bar is preferred—a larger, more equipped version ideal for self-service stations or high-volume food preparation.
Three Key Features of the Best Saladette
The best refrigerated saladettes share three essential features:
- Energy efficiency – A high-quality saladette is designed to minimize energy consumption while maintaining a stable, optimal temperature. Models with low-energy technology and advanced insulation help reduce operating costs and environmental impact.
- Even cooling distribution – A good cooling system ensures consistent temperature throughout the unit, avoiding hot spots that could compromise ingredient freshness. The best models feature precise temperature control and uniform cold air circulation.
- Easy cleaning and hygiene – The surfaces should be smooth, durable, and easy to clean, ensuring high hygiene standards at all times. Models with removable shelves and practical drawers simplify daily maintenance and reduce the risk of contamination.

Must-Have Saladette Accessories
The most essential saladette accessories include:
- GN Pans (Gastronorm Containers) – Stainless steel containers ideal for storing salads, vegetables, and dressings, designed to fit perfectly into saladette compartments.
- Lids for GN Pans – Essential for protecting ingredients, keeping them fresh for longer, and reducing waste. Transparent lids allow for easy content visibility without opening them.
- Adjustable Dividers – These help optimize space inside the saladette by organizing ingredients more efficiently.
- Ice Baskets – In refrigerated salad bars, commonly used for storing seafood or delicate products, ice baskets help maintain the ideal temperature without affecting food quality.
