Buying Guide: Choosing Commercial Display Showcases
A commercial display showcase is more than a storage cabinet—it is a merchandising tool that keeps food safe, visible, and at the ideal temperature. The right showcase improves presentation, increases impulse sales, and supports compliance with Australian food safety standards.
Types of Display Showcases
- Hot Display Cabinets: Uses dry heat or bain marie systems to keep pies, pastries, and cooked meals hot (65°C+) and ready to serve.
- Cold Display Cabinets: Refrigerated showcases for cakes, sushi, sandwiches, and drinks. Features fan-forced cooling and anti-fog glass.
- Ambient Displays: Room-temperature cabinets for muffins, cookies, and breads that don't require heating or cooling.
- Buffet Display Units: Self-serve setups for hotels and food courts, including sneeze guards, cold wells, and hot plates.
- Gelato Display Freezers: Specialized freezers with high visibility and precise temperature control to keep gelato scoopable and smooth.
- Meat Aging Cabinets: Precision-controlled environments (humidity + temp) for dry-aging beef to perfection.
Key Selection Factors
- Merchandising: Look for LED lighting, curved glass, and adjustable shelving to make food pop.
- Temperature Mode: Ensure you buy the right unit (Hot, Cold, or Ambient) for your specific food type.
- Energy Efficiency: Double-glazed glass and efficient compressors reduce running costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hot, cold, and ambient displays?
Hot displays use heating elements to keep food warm. Cold displays use refrigeration to keep food chilled. Ambient displays have no active temperature control and are for shelf-stable goods like cookies.
How do gelato displays differ from regular freezers?
Gelato displays maintain a very specific temperature (usually -12°C to -14°C) and control humidity to prevent ice crystals from forming, keeping the gelato smooth and display-ready.
What is a meat aging cabinet?
A dry-aging cabinet provides a strictly controlled environment (humidity, airflow, and temperature) to safely age meat, enhancing tenderness and flavour without spoiling.
