Make ice at home

We all enjoy a fun gathering or party where you invite your friends or family to your home. It’s great to have company on the weekend to relax and unwind together. With that, you need to tend to the food, which is why a braai is usually the easiest solution. And, of course, drinks are the order of the day for these types of meetings. For that, you need to have enough ice on hand.

Many people choose to buy ice from a store so you can get a few bags of ice, but then you will need to keep it frozen in a freezer. If you don’t have a large freezer, you need to get creative about keeping it frozen as long as possible to last through the night or until your guests go home. If you have guests who visit your home a lot, then it might be worth buying an ice machine. With an ice machine you can make ice on demand so you always have enough available for your guests. You don’t have to go to the store to buy ice packs when you can just do it at home.

For home use, it is ideal to opt for a piece of furniture small enough to fit in your kitchen. A commercial ice maker may be too large for your kitchen, but you get smaller versions that are suitable for home use. The TC180 Ice Maker is a great option due to its size. It is only 15 inches wide, making it slightly wider than a ruler. It is 26 inches deep, so it could slide alongside a standard cabinet or fit perfectly on a countertop. It is just under a meter tall at about 88 centimeters and you can adjust the height of the leg a little higher or lower. What makes this catering equipment beneficial for home users is that it has a storage capacity of 5 kilograms. This built-in storage facility means you don’t need to dispense the ice in a separate bag or container to keep it frozen in your home freezer.

It makes small cubes that weigh about 1 gram, which is ideal for any type of beverage that you serve your guests. If you have a big party for your birthday or a special occasion, you can be sure that this ice machine can produce around 135 kilograms in a 24 hour period. There will be enough buckets for your guests throughout the day or night. In order for this unit to do this, it requires a permanent water supply and drainage area. So be prepared for this when you install it. The most important thing is to enjoy frozen drinks and relax with your friends and family.
