Induction Warmer Food Holding Tips
Hatco Induction Warmers maintain holding temperatures very
efficiently and effectively. However, ambient conditions, food
type, and other factors play a critical role in the actual food
temperature. Use the following tips to ensure proper and
consistent holding temperatures.
• Cover food with a lid and stir often, if applicable. Uncovered
food product will lose heat quickly due to ambient conditions
like room temperature and active air movement.
• Hold foods that are appropriate for the Induction Warmer.
A thick liquid product, like chili, that is held in a pan with a
lid and stirred frequently will hold temperature for longer
and much more consistently than uncovered fried chicken
pieces.
• Check food temperature regularly and make adjustments
to the power setting accordingly.
- Use the appropriate power setting for the type of food
being held. Cream-based sauces and thick chili hold
better at a lower setting. Fried and baked foods hold
better at the highest setting.
- When using cast iron or other "dry pans", start with a
lower power setting (setting LOW or MLOW).
- When using chafing dishes with a water bath, start with
a higher power setting (setting MED or MHI).
- When using a pan with an open lid, increase the power
setting by one or more as needed.
