What temperature should a commercial food warmer hold food at?

Hot food should be held at 60 degrees Celsius or hotter. Check the food itself with a probe thermometer rather than relying on the dial or the air temperature inside the warmer.

Can I reheat food in a food warmer?

No. Food warmers are designed to hold food that is already hot. Reheat food thoroughly using cooking equipment first, then transfer it into a preheated warmer.

Which food warmer is best for catering?

Most caterers use a combination: mobile or insulated holding cabinets to transport food, and buffet warmers or bain maries to serve it. Humidified cabinets suit moist foods, while crisp foods need drier, vented holding.

Can I spread the cost of new food warmers?

Many caterers prefer to spread the cost of new equipment rather than pay upfront. Contact our team to talk through payment options that may suit your business, and we can help you choose the right warmers.

How much does a commercial food warmer cost?

Price depends on the type, capacity, humidity control and build quality, from compact countertop units to large mobile holding cabinets. Contact us for current pricing including GST on the models that suit your events.
