Traulsen CLES-36HT-BN 2-Drawer Refrigerated Chef Base, Bullnose Edge
The Traulsen CLES Series 36" refrigerated chef base places cold ingredient storage directly beneath the cooking line, cutting out the trips to a remote reach-in or walk-in during active service. The 2 drawers hold (2) 12" x 20" x 6"D pan capacity, with (1) full size and (1) half size 6" deep pan per drawer (pans supplied by others) configured for the mise en place a busy line depends on. The stainless steel top with bullnose edge - a rounded bullnose front lip that softens the counter edge and reduces the risk of chipping or snagging - doubles as the mounting surface for equipment positioned above.

The self-contained R290 refrigeration system runs front-breathing, so the unit installs flush against a wall or adjacent equipment with zero side or rear clearance needed. The high-humidity evaporator coil sits outside the food zone to avoid drying out stored ingredients, and the non-electric condensate evaporator does away with drain line plumbing. A water-resistant microprocessor controller with LED display keeps temperature monitoring clear and holds up to the moisture of a cooking line environment.
Heavy gauge stainless steel drawers with foamed-in-place recessed handles and magnetic snap-in gaskets seal tightly on every close across all 2 drawers, and each one lifts out without tools for cleaning. 2" thick foamed-in-place polyurethane insulation runs through the 36" cabinet and drawers to hold temperature efficiently through service, and (4) 4" plate casters on an adjustable channel let you roll the unit out to clean underneath and behind it.
This 36" chef base is a good fit for high-volume kitchens that need cold ingredients within arm's reach of the line, whether positioned under a range, griddle, or charbroiler - the bullnose edge is worth choosing where equipment carts and sheet pans regularly bump the counter edge.
