Hot Holding

Our Hot Hold cabinets and drawers do not need water baths to help them work.

In the main, Operators are good at cooking, and good at serving ? it?s the bit in between which usually fails them.

The Dry Facts And Why You Should Use Them

It's amazing how much food quality and temperature can be lost in the time the products are removed from the oven/grill/range and by the time it is served to the customer. But why let it happen at all when a simple fix is at hand?

This is where Equip Line comes in with the simple fix for the "in between" bit. Immediately off the grill/out of the oven/out of the fry pan, no matter what heat source virtually all proteins benefit from a short "rest" period to let meat juices "settle" back into the meat - so we turn a necessity into a benefit - as soon as cooked food is removed from the oven/grill/range just pop into one of our Alto-Shaam Halo Heat Mis en Hold or Rest & Hold holding cabinets and let the food "settle" at a consistent temperature until the rest of the dish is brought together.

Use the pre-heat period to warm up plates

Alto Shaam hot hold units maintain a consistent temperature inside the cabinets without the necessity of a heat distribution fan or a water bath, two major advantages of our unique Halo Heat? system.

Short "rest" or long hot hold, the motionless heated air mass within the hot hold units ensures foods loose minimal moisture content and at the same time preserves the quality, internal temperature, and extends the longest possible holding life of your food product.

Supporting Alto-Shaam hot holding cabinets and banquet carts can be selected to suit a range of hot hold functions - i.e. dough proofing, bulk food holding for Banqueting or buffet service; rest & hold for short-order restaurants; the transportation of hot foods to remote locations are just some of the major functions of these cabinets for multipurpose utility.

When properly planned, Alto-Shaam Halo Heat holding cabinets and warming drawers and banquet carts can be an invaluable time management aid, supporting your food service operation by extending preparation times outside of peak preparation hours.
