Buying Guide: Selecting the Right Food Display Case

Buying Guide: Selecting the Right Food Display Case

Food display cases allow commercial establishments to draw attention to products such as baked goods, deli meats and raw meats, while heated or refrigerated food cases maintain a food-safe temperature. There’s a wide variety of food display cases that have different purposes on the market. To help you choose which kind of display case is best for your operation, a cooling and AC system repair specialist lists the most common options here:

Right Refrigerated Display Case

  • Meat and seafood cases. These are refrigerated single-level cases that hold fresh meat, poultry and seafood at their ideal temperatures without allowing them to freeze. Normally, these cases have frost inhibitors to prevent the glass from frosting and, since fish often rests on ice, trays to catch runoff.

  • Deli cases. These refrigerated cases have multiple shelves and hold at around 40° F. Deli cases retain moisture to keep products such as cured meats and cheeses fresh.

  • Hot display cases. These refer to a number of heated cases that hold prepared food items at correct temperatures for service. They can range from a small countertop pizza or concession case to full-size floor models and self-serve style units. According to a heater maintenance expert, heated cases often have humidity controls to allow end-users to fill the devices with various products.

  • Bakery cases. These cases can be either refrigerated or unrefrigerated. Like deli cases, bakery cases usually feature shelves and hold from around 33° F to 41° F. These cases house delectable food items such as cakes, confections, pies and other baked goods. 

  • Open display cases. These units are for dairy, vegetables and other grab-and-go items such as sandwiches, cookies and burrito bowls. Open display cases are typically found near registers.
