Ask a Question About This Product
The PIMAK 70SD-M173 is a tall infrared chip scuttle designed to hold and maintain serving temperature for fried potato products in front-of-house service environments. The 1 kW ceramic infrared element maintains product crispness without further cooking. Single-phase 230V operation suits standard UK commercial kitchen electrical infrastructure.
Commercial Application
This unit sits at the final stage of chip service workflow. Kitchen staff load freshly fried chips into the stainless steel bowl where infrared heat maintains optimal serving temperature while preventing sogginess. The tall format increases holding capacity during peak service periods.
During continuous service, the thermostat-controlled ceramic element holds product at temperature without staff intervention. The 40×70 cm footprint fits standard counter service layouts in fish and chip shops, pubs, and casual dining operations. Staff scoop directly from the heated bowl to customer portions.
