HATCO QUICK THAW

Model HQT-1

The innovative Hatco Quick Thaw will reduce
thawing times of menu favorites to a fraction
of traditional methods.

FLEXIBILITY

The patent-pending Hatco Quick Thaw is a
revolutionary breakthrough in kitchen
efficiency, thawing food faster.

Safer than conventional methods, this device
will allow operators to thaw individually
wrapped food to order, as well as blocks of
frozen seafood, thereby reducing food costs
with less product waste. This also permits
menu expansion while saving on labor, and
reducing water and energy usage.

Users can place frozen meat or vegetables
in the device’s chamber, where the items
quickly defrost in a shower of 69°F (21°C)
water from two non-bruising uniform spray
misters.
