Welcome to High Sabatino's Foodservice Equipment Blog

We love it when people come by the HighSabatino test kitchen to spend time with our team of experts including our new chef, Tommy Abbott.

You make everything from scratch. Even your homemade beef stew cooks overnight, almost every night. With limited space, you need to be very smart about how you prep, cook, cool, and store your products. There's no time or space for ice baths, and you need to be quick to get things out of the way. Every inch in the kitchen counts. Every minute counts. Here's how you can maintain freshness with a blast chiller.
