Top 4 Stainless Steel Products for Your Salad Bar
Salads are a big deal in the United States, and it's no surprise given how popular they've become. A recent survey showed that over 60% of Americans regularly include salads in their meals, with the average person eating about four salads each week. This trend has kept salad bars as a key part of dining culture across the country. But remember, the success of your salad bar largely depends on the quality of your equipment, particularly stainless steel products.
Let me break down some essential salad bar items you should consider. This list includes products from IMC, along with their specifications. So, let’s dive right in.
First up, we have tray and silverware counters. These are crucial because they provide a convenient spot to store forks, knives, spoons, and trays before customers start building their salads. IMC’s Model #TSCL is a great choice for this. It’s made from high-quality 16-gauge type 300 series stainless steel with a 14-gauge frame and an 18-gauge apron. The TSCL comes with an 18-gauge stainless steel silverware enclosure that’s fully welded and adjustable. Plus, it has casters for easy movement. Here's what it looks like:

Next, we have cold food counters. The FDA recommends keeping veggies and leafy greens at 41°F (5°C) or below to prevent bacteria growth. To do this, you'll need specially designed cold food counters. These units help maintain the right temperature while providing a visually appealing setup for your customers. Depending on the size and traffic of your salad bar, you might need more than one cold food counter. IMC offers two models that fit the bill: Model #CFCR and Model #CRBC.
The CFCR model features a fully integrated refrigerated cold pan. It has a self-contained refrigeration system with a compressor and copper coils attached underneath. It also includes an on/off switch, pilot light, and a 5-foot cord with a plug. Depending on your needs, you can add between 2 and 6 ice pans. The refrigerated unit ensures cold air continuously flows into the ice pans.
For larger, busier salad bars, Model #CRBC is a top choice. This is IMC’s premium cold food counter. It’s equipped with a mechanical refrigeration unit, cold pan, and stainless steel panels welded to the frame. The refrigerated compartment uses a blower to maintain the temperature, making it perfect for extended storage of cold food.

Now, let’s talk about condiment counters. No salad is complete without dressings and seasonings. A well-designed condiment counter keeps everything organized and easily accessible for customers. IMC’s Model #CNC is specifically built for this purpose. It’s crafted from 16-gauge stainless steel on top and 14-gauge stainless steel for the frame, both made from type 300 series stainless steel.

Lastly, we have beverage counters. After creating the perfect salad, customers usually want a refreshing drink. Beverage counters offer a practical solution by providing both workspace and extra storage below. They’re perfect for keeping beverage glasses, strainers, and straws within reach. IMC’s Model #BVC is an elegant option. It’s made from 16-gauge stainless steel on top and 14-gauge stainless steel for the frame, again using type 300 series stainless steel. The unit also includes a 6-inch backsplash to keep your walls clean.
