Then, the cart can be unplugged and taken to the banquet location. The heater slowly releases heat and keeps meals warm for two hours, unplugged.

Recessed handles prevent damage to walls, and heavy-duty six-inch wheels allow carts to be rolled easily, even over carpeted surfaces.

Traulsen EnergyStar® rated hot-food holding cabinets include a heating system that distributes hot air evenly throughout the cabinet, keeping food hot and fresh. The design includes a low-watt density heater in an encapsulated double-wall down duct. Two fans pull air from the top of the cabinet down over the heater element. Air exits at the bottom and is drawn up over the product, ensuring consistent temperature maintenance. With the convenient on/off button, the “onetime temperature-setting adjustment” automatically warms the unit to the preset temperature. Traulsen R&A Series hot-food holding cabinets have the same INTELA-TRAUL® microprocessor controls as their refrigerators and freezers for precise temperature control. But in this case, the temperature is 140° F to 180° F. Holding hot food above the danger zone temperature significantly reduces the chance for bacteria growth and lowers the risk of an outbreak of foodborne illness. It also helps ensure better food quality, higher yield, and reduced waste.
