When I worked as a cook, in smaller restaurants we would have a walk-in fridge but a chest freezer or two (mostly fresh ingredients). Each freezer was just a bunch of milk crates with frozen product in them. You just shuffle the crates around. I realize milk crates aren't as freely available to the general public as they once were but the system works.
- frosted-flakes 4y agoMilk crates are still widely available. Home Depot sells them for $10 each, and I've seen them for sale at grocery and hardware stores. The lookalikes sold at Home Depot are about 1/2" smaller than the actual ones (so not suitable for vinyl records), but I haven't measured the other ones, but they looked more like the actual crates.
- Scoundreller 4y agoPeople pay for those???
- frosted-flakes 4y agoWhat do you do, steal one from the grocery store every time you buy milk?
- Scoundreller 4y agoEveryone that I know has borrowed one from the back of a national/international cafe chain.
- zikzak 4y agoYears ago the resized them so they don't fit LPs, or so the legend goes. When I was a kid, every grocery store had a mountain of these behind it and every audiophile had a wall of records in them. When you get dairy deliveries at a restaurant, in my experience no one is counting the crates that closely so we'd just borrow a few.
