A bacteria resistant butcher table is having a flat level top including a
shallow tub within which is placed a butcher block or work surface. Water
fills the tub over the top of the work surface insert and is frozen
therein. As food preparation proceeds, layers of ice which now constitute
the work surface are worn away and replaced by newly frozen water provided
from around the sides of the work surface block. A refrigeration system is
provided beneath the flat top and has its cooling coils arranged
immediately beneath the tub. Water is provided through perforated water
piping about the sides of the tub work surface insert. Four support legs
include leveling pads or feet to keep the top perfectly level.
