Dukers DCB36-D2 two drawer chef base refrigerator in stainless steel

Product Description

The Dukers DCB36-D2 is a two-drawer refrigerated chef base — a low, 26-5/8" tall cabinet designed to sit under countertop cooking equipment and hold cold product directly beneath it. At 36" wide it pairs with a single griddle, charbroiler or fryer battery and turns what would be a dead equipment stand into refrigerated storage.

Refrigeration under the cooking line

A chef base solves a specific problem: countertop equipment needs a stand, and cooks need cold product within reach of that equipment. Combining the two means the burger patties sit directly under the griddle cooking them and nobody turns their back on the line to fetch anything. The reduced 26-5/8" height puts the equipment on top at normal working height rather than chest height.

Drawers built around 1/6 pans

Each of the two drawers carries two divider bars, giving a total working capacity of nine sixth-size pans across the unit. Sixth pans are the right granularity for a cooking station — one protein, one cheese, one garnish, each in its own compartment and each swappable mid-service without disturbing the rest. Pans are not included with the unit.

A tight, cool temperature band

The cabinet holds 33°F to 38°F, a narrower and colder window than the 33–41°F typical of a general-purpose undercounter. That matters directly under a heat source: the setpoint has to be low enough that radiant and conducted heat from the equipment above does not push product out of safe holding. A 1/5 HP compressor running R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant with a 1.76 oz charge does that on 1.7 amps and 200 watts.
