Useful Hints and Tips


Which Ice is Right for You?

Contour Cubes: - These patented, crystal clear, hard ice shapes are designed specifically for foodservice applications. The cubes are individually made so they are easier to handle and dispense.

Applications: Used for mixed drinks, ice displays, carbonated beverages, ice retailing, salad bars, ice dispensing.

Advantages: The cubes nestle in the glass for high displacement which means better quality drinks for customers and more profit for you. The cube's unique design eliminates splashing from a bottle or dispensing gun. Liquid flows over the contour shapes smoothly and easily.

Gourmet Cubes: - These are shaped like a small shot glass.

Applications: Bar use, upscale restaurants, waitress stations.

Advantages: These hard, clear cubes are distinctly attractive and slow melting for use in mixed drinks and gourmet drinks for bars and upscale restaurants. The size and slow melting hardness of these cubes make them ideal for banquet service when re-icing glasses of drinking water. Their non-stick characteristic makes scooping from a bin easy.

Flake Ice: - Small, hard bits of flaked ice.

Applications: Produce, seafood and meat displays, blended cocktails, salad bars, therapeutic uses in health care facilities.

Advantages: Scotsman dry flakes cool more quickly than other forms of ice. This cooling power is combined with very low production costs. Molds to any shape for convenient use in displays and salad bars.
