Abstract
The invention provides a food preparation table which has improved cooling characteristics over prior art preparation tables, is efficient, and can be used with existing food storage pans. More particularly, the invention provides a food preparation table for holding ingredient/condiment storage pans that are open to access by food preparation personnel and which has cooling vents that are precisely positioned and shaped so that the condiments/ingredients in the pans are kept at a desired temperature, especially near the tops of the pans, and which does not prematurely dry the ingredients.
