This offer ends in:
The VTC206W is a 2-metre wide heated cupboard with sliding doors, maintaining plate and plated meal temperature in large-scale catering operations. It holds internal temperature from 0°C to +85°C across 1820mm of usable width. Canteens, banquet kitchens, and high-volume restaurants use it to stage plated service.
Commercial Application
Heated cupboards solve the holding gap between plating and service. When meals are plated in advance for banquets, conferences, or canteen service, this unit maintains food-safe holding temperature without drying out proteins or wilting vegetables. The 2-metre width accommodates multiple gastronorm trays or stacked plate loads.
During peak service, chefs plate dishes in batches 15–30 minutes ahead. The cupboard holds finished plates at serving temperature while front-of-house completes table turnover. 2000W heating maintains even temperature across the full 1820mm internal width, preventing cold spots at the ends.
