Why Choose a Chef Base Instead of an Equipment Stand?

Unlike standard equipment stands, chef bases provide active refrigeration under your griddle, range, or charbroiler. This allows line cooks to store proteins, toppings, and prep items directly below the cooking surface, reducing steps, improving speed, and keeping ingredients within safe temperature zones throughout service.

Built for the Line

The MGF8450 features (2) self-closing refrigerated drawers with recessed handles, designed for constant open-and-close use during peak service. With 7.7 cu. ft. of refrigerated storage, this unit keeps high-turn ingredients cold, organized, and immediately accessible.

Line Cook Use Cases

• Grill stations storing proteins, patties, and marinated meats
• Flat-top stations holding prepped vegetables, cheeses, and sauces
• Sauté lines needing quick access to portioned ingredients
• Breakfast stations storing eggs, bacon, and dairy
• High-volume kitchens reducing trips to walk-in refrigerators

Consistent Refrigeration Performance

A Dixell digital temperature controller maintains a reliable 34°F to 40°F temperature range, ensuring food safety and consistent cold holding. The side-mounted self-contained refrigeration system allows for efficient cooling while keeping service access straightforward.
