Hoshizaki Premier K 2 A DL 3D C U Refrigerated Counter 2 Door 3 Drawer

The Hoshizaki Premier K 2 A DL 3D C U is a refrigerated counter unit combining two full-length doors with three under-counter drawers in a single worktop-height cabinet. With a 301-litre net internal capacity, it provides a practical split between larger storage space behind the doors and quick-access drawer storage for portioned or frequently used ingredients — all within the same footprint.

In a working kitchen, the combination of doors and drawers makes a genuine operational difference. Chefs can keep bulk prep or larger containers behind the doors while the drawers hold ready-to-use mise en place, minimising unnecessary movement and keeping the cold chain tighter during service. Hoshizaki refrigeration is well regarded for holding stable temperatures under repeated door openings, which matters during a busy lunch or dinner service when the unit is being accessed constantly.

From a practical standpoint, the unit offers several advantages in a prep or service environment:

• Drawer access reduces full door openings, helping temperature recovery
• Worktop surface doubles as usable prep space, adding functional value
• Castors allow repositioning for cleaning or kitchen reorganisation
• Combination layout suits kitchens where both bulk and portioned storage are needed simultaneously
• Hoshizaki build quality is generally reliable under sustained commercial use

The unit runs on castors, which simplifies cleaning underneath and allows repositioning if your kitchen layout changes. It is worth confirming your electrical supply is compatible before ordering, and ensuring you have adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation — particularly at the rear or base depending on condenser position. The worktop surface should be factored into your layout planning if you intend to use it as active prep space.

This counter suits mid-sized kitchens — restaurants, hotel kitchens, catering operations — where a single unit needs to serve both storage and prep functions without taking up multiple positions. It is less suited to very high-volume sites where separate dedicated cold storage and prep refrigeration may be more practical, or to very small operations where a simpler single-section unit would suffice.
