What Is a Chef Base Refrigerator? A Chef Base Refrigerator (also known as a prep table refrigerator or prep station fridge) is a specialized undercounter fridge designed to sit directly beneath a worktop or cutting board. It combines cold storage with a convenient prep surface, making it perfect for high-speed kitchen tasks. Think of it as refrigeration that works as part of the chef’s workstation — not just a storage unit in the corner. https://www.thehorecastore.com/refrigeration/chef-base-refrigerator
