flash freezer

Instant deep-freeze appliance

A flash freezer is equipment that freezes food or other materials extremely rapidly, typically using very low temperatures or circulating cold air.

The speed preserves texture and quality by forming smaller ice crystals than conventional freezing: Commercial kitchens use flash freezers to lock in freshness.

Also called a blast freezer.
