The Prepline PFW500NT Bain Marie Food Warmer
The Prepline PFW500NT is a full size electric countertop bain marie food warmer that holds soups, chilis, queso, gravies, and sauces at serving temperature through a shift. It comes ready to work with two 7.6 quart round inserts and their lids included, so a soup-of-the-day program or a two-option nacho bar sets up out of the box with no extra smallware order. This is the no-tap version of the warmer, with a smooth front panel instead of a drain spigot.
Two 7.6 Qt. Inserts with Lids Included
The two included inserts each hold 7.6 quarts, enough for a lunch service of soup per pot, and the lids keep skin from forming and moisture from cooking off between customers. Running two separate inserts instead of one big well means a vegetarian soup and a chowder hold side by side without flavor transfer, and an empty insert swaps for a full one from the walk-in in seconds. The interior well measures 12 by 20 inches, the footprint of a full size steam table pan, so the unit also accepts standard pans and adapter setups your kitchen already owns.
Direct-Heat Element with Manual Control
A heating element under the well delivers direct heat to the food, and a manual dial sets the holding level, from a gentle hold for cream soups that scorch easily to a higher setting that keeps chili hot in a drafty concession stand. There is no plumbing and no water hookup requirement to install it: set the warmer on the counter, plug it into a standard 110V outlet, and it is in service. Compare that with drop-in wells, which need a cutout and an electrician before they hold their first pot.
Stainless Steel Build That Travels Well
The body is heavy-duty stainless steel that cleans up with a wipe, and at 23 pounds the warmer moves easily between the line, the catering van, and the banquet table. Because the unit is countertop and lightweight, caterers can run hot food service anywhere with an outlet, which is exactly where a plumbed steam table cannot go.
