Nice Ice N25 Icemaker Polar T316

Feb. 14, 2012 - PRLog -- Why don’t chefs like ice machines? Because you can’t cook with an ice maker, but buying one comes out of the restaurant equipment budget. A busy restaurant doing lots of G&Ts and jugs of tap water gets full use from the relatively high cost of an ice maker, but for a small restaurant most ice makers make much more ice than is needed.

Why are ice makers so expensive? They might look like a little fridge, but are actually very complex mechanically. It’s a fridge that is simple – a tin box, a compressor and a condenser – so comparing the cost of a big upright fridge and a little ice maker is not a fair one.

So why pick the Nice Ice machine? The N25 is one of the smallest ice makers you can buy with a price to match. It has a daily output of 25kg which should be adequate for all but big restaurants and a holding bin that takes 4kg, which ties in to the rate of ice production.

Cheap and cheerful ice makers usually produce cloudy ice that looks like it has been made in plastic ice trays bought from the supermarket, but the Nice Ice N25 uses modern paddle technology. That not only produces crystal clear ice that doesn’t look naff floating on the top of a tot of 18-year-old Highland Park, but is a very hard ice that doesn’t start to crackle like a bowl of rice krispies as soon as the spirit hits it.

Anything else about the Nice Ice N25? Not really, it has the usual things any ice maker should have in terms of construction and ease of cleaning, but the one big reason it made it into this listing is it is affordable ice. While nobody ever pays full list price for kitchen equipment, careful shopping should get you one of these ice makers for under £300.
