Ideal for restaurants, hotels, pubs, schools, care homes and catering operations, it rapidly chills or freezes freshly cooked food, helping businesses comply with HACCP food safety regulations while maintaining exceptional flavour, texture and nutritional value.

By quickly reducing the temperature of cooked food, the Cirrus minimises the amount of time food spends within the bacterial danger zone, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth. This allows chefs to prepare food in advance without compromising quality, making batch cooking, menu planning and portion control easier while reducing food waste and improving kitchen productivity.
