Cambro CFR18 ColdFest Insulated Round Crock, 1.7 qt., Ice-Free Cold Holding

The Cambro CFR18 is a 1.7 qt. ColdFest insulated round crock, 6 3/4" x 6 13/16", that keeps condiments, dressings and dairy at or below 41°F (4°C) without any ice. The impact-resistant ABS shell is filled with a non-toxic refrigerant gel core: freeze the empty crock upside down for at least eight hours, fill it with pre-chilled product, and it holds safe serving temperature for up to six hours. Choose White or Black above.

Refrigerant Gel Core: Cold Holding Without the Ice Bath

ColdFest rounds are double-walled: an outer and inner shell of impact-resistant ABS plastic with a sealed cavity between them that is filled with a non-toxic refrigerant gel. The gel stores far more cold than the same volume of plastic or water, and because it is sealed inside the wall there is no ice to melt, no water pooling in the well and no condensation running down the outside of the crock. The crock is frozen upside down so the gel settles toward the food-contact wall, then filled with product that has already been chilled.

Loaded that way, a ColdFest round keeps contents at or below the HACCP guideline of 41°F (4°C) for up to six hours on a buffet, salad bar or outdoor catering table with no ice, no ice-well drain and no refills. That means a crock of ranch dressing, sour cream or creamers can sit in a Versa Salad Bar insert, on a condiment station or at an off-site event and still pass a temperature check at the end of service. Cambro offers flat and seal covers and three condiment pump options for self-service, and the crock is dishwasher safe and NSF listed. Personalization is available.
