The Omcan 48173 Countertop Food Warmer
The Omcan FW-CN-0004-H is a 37-inch horizontal countertop food warmer with four independently controlled channels, built for buffet lines, catering setups, and cafeteria service where you need to keep multiple dishes at different temperatures side by side. The horizontal layout spreads all four channels across a single level, which makes it easy for guests or staff to see and access every pan without reaching over stacked trays. With eight PEI pans included and each channel accepting a full-size or two half-size pans, you can run a complete hot food station from one compact unit.
Independent Thermostat Control Per Channel
Each channel has its own adjustable thermostat with a range of 86 to 212°F (30 to 212°F), so you can hold a delicate hollandaise at a gentle 140°F on one level while keeping fried chicken at a crispier 180°F on another. This per-channel independence means you are not forced to compromise on temperature when your menu items have different holding requirements. The heating film technology distributes warmth evenly across the entire pan surface rather than concentrating it in hot spots, which helps sauces and gravies maintain consistent texture from the first serving to the last.
High-Heat PEI Pans Rated to 392°F
The included PEI pans handle temperatures up to 392°F and are both microwave and oven safe, so you can heat product in the pan, transfer it to the warmer, and serve from the same container without dirtying extra equipment. Each channel accepts one full-size pan or two half-size pans, giving you flexibility to run a mix of items depending on your service needs. The stainless steel exterior is built to handle the kind of daily wiping and occasional bumps that come with a busy buffet line or catering setup.
