It’s a hot day, the sun is shining, the heat is sweltering, and it is so humid that you sweat right as you walk outside. What is the one thing you need? Yup, an ice-cold beverage. Nothing is more refreshing than an ice-cold beverage. All Florida restaurant or shop owners know that these hot months are great for icy-cold beverage sales.
When you shop for ice machines though, you’ll notice that there are different kinds of ice out there. Yes, it is all just frozen water, but ice can take different shapes and each type has its own purpose. To help you find the ice machine you want and get the ice that you need, here are some tips about certain types of ice:
Shaved Ice- Shaved ice is easily molded and can be fit to cool down a product quickly. Unfortunately, it is the fastest-melting type of ice. Shaved ice is great for seafood or meat displays or therapeutic uses since it is so malleable.
Nugget Ice- Nugget ice is essentially shaved ice molded into, as the name suggests, nuggets. This ice is great for cooling drinks as well as produce displays. Like shaved ice, however, it is quick to melt.
Half Cube– Half cube ice is looks more like the traditional image of ice. It melts slowly unlike shaved and nugget ice so after time, your drink will not be watered down. If you are a business owner looking to save product, half cube ice is great because a lot of it can fit in a glass meaning less product goes into the drink.
Full Cube- Like the half cube, full cube ice is common and convenient. It melts slowly and is great for ice displays, mixed drinks, or just standard ice dispensing.
