This offer ends in:
The HBM23 holds three GN1/2 pans at service temperature in buffet lines, cafeterias, and banquet service areas. A wet-heat system maintains consistent warmth from +30°C to +85°C using an immersed 1500W heating element. The glass sneeze guard meets hygiene standards for self-service food operations.
Commercial Application
This unit sits on countertops during continuous service periods. It eliminates the need to repeatedly reheat plated dishes. Operators load pans during prep, adjust the thermostat, and rotate food as service demand changes.
Buffet service requires holding multiple dishes at safe temperatures without drying out contents. The wet-heat method prevents crusting on sauces and proteins. Three GN1/2 compartments allow simultaneous service of starches, vegetables, and proteins in a compact footprint.
