Bacteria resistant butcher table

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.
