The portable holding cabinet measures only 177/16-in.W x 253/8-in.D x 183/8-in.H and fits in any kitchen.

CAMBRO
Cambro’s electric Combo Cart Plus features a durable, one-piece molded polyethylene body filled with polyurethane foam insulation that holds food safely between 150˚F-165˚F for 4+ hr. unplugged. The gasketless design holds heat while allowing steam or high pressure to escape; the polyethylene keeps food naturally moist without a water pan. Both low and tall models have 16-ga. stainless rails. At 27 5/8-in.W x 33½-in.D x 65 7/8-in.H, the tall model highlights 2 compartments so you can use both for hot holding or use the top for hot holding and the bottom for cold holding simply by not turning on the door-mounted heater.

FOOD WARMING EQUIPMENT
FWE’s new Clymate IQ PHTT-1220-8 uses the Precision Humidity Temperature Technology found in the full-size PHTT mobile heated holding cabinets but in a compact design. This lightweight version is easy to transport and gives you hot holding storage below counters or on countertops. The unit, 36-in.H x 18-in.W, is all-stainless (20-ga. exterior) and fully insulated. C-channel racks accommodate 8 12-in. x 20-in. standard pans. Moisture and temperature controls through a top-mounted heat system can be set between 90˚F-200˚F with varying humidity. A blower directs “push-pull” airflow to gently circulate heat and humidity evenly throughout the cabinet. Airflow also aids in a speedy recovery time back to set temperature and humidity level after doors have been opened.
