Smart Tips For Small Business Owners

Main Benefits Of Maintaining The Ice Machine In Your Kitchen

by Vernon Ortiz

Whether you have an ice machine in your restaurant or an ice machine in the door of your refrigerator at home, one thing is certain; It is really convenient having instant access to that much ice any time you want. With more, better, and newer ways to get ice made in an instant, this type of appliance is more convenient than ever. If you have an ice machine of any kind, you should be doing everything you can to maintain it, as there are some big benefits to doing so. 

Ice Is Always Available for Cold and Blended Drinks

Think of all the drinks you consume or all of the drinks you serve customers. None of them are really good without ice. That is very true of any drinks that are actually made with blended ice, such as slushes and margaritas. Without your ice machine, all of those drinks are only mildly cold, and ice water is, well, just water. Maintaining your ice machine ensures that every cold drink is cold and every blended ice drink is perfectly sippable. 

You Have Instant First Aid for Burns and Heat Exhaustion

What happens when someone burns or scalds themselves in the kitchen? Even though you never want this to happen, at some point it just will. When it does, the very first thing you should do is apply ice to the scalded/burned area. This stops the burn in its tracks and prevents the burn from going deeper into the tissues. The ice also helps numb the pain and reduce inflammation. As long as you have ice available, you have an instant first aid treatment for burns.

You also have a first aid treatment for heat exhaustion. Ice applied to the forehead and the back of the neck helps reverse heat exhaustion by cooling the victim down and reducing his/her body temperature. 

You Never Have to Run to the Store for Ice

Yes, there are restaurants that actually send people to the store to buy several bags of ice every day. They either do not have an ice machine or their machine is broken and sitting in a corner or sitting idle as part of their refrigerator. When you keep your ice machine working, you will never have to make a run for ice for any reason. Your ice is always there, at the push of a lever or button. 

If your ice machine could use some repairs, contact a local company like Fugh Refrigeration, Inc to take care of the work for you.
