The Serv-Ware EST5-2 Electric Steam Table
The Serv-Ware EST5-2 stretches five open hot food wells across six feet of stainless steel, the longest table in the EST line and the one high-volume cafeterias, buffets, and banquet operations reach for when the whole menu has to stay hot at once. It connects to 220 to 240 volt service, the standard for equipment of this capacity in institutional kitchens.
Independent Infinite Well Controls
Five dials, five temperatures, zero compromises between dishes. A full holiday line of turkey, dressing, two vegetables, and gravy each gets its own setting, and none of them has to live at a temperature chosen for something else. The infinite dials travel through a continuous range, so tiny corrections are possible: back one well off slightly when a sauce starts to tighten, bring another up before the dinner push.
Holding Pre-Cooked Food the Right Way
A table this size earns its keep by decoupling cooking from serving. The kitchen produces in batches, the EST5-2 holds finished pans at safe serving temperature, and servers work an unbroken line for hours. Open wells make the state of every pan visible down the whole six-foot run, which is exactly what a line supervisor wants when five different items empty at five different rates.
Capacity That Changes the Schedule
Adding wells does more than add pans; it changes how the kitchen runs. With five bays holding at once, cooks front-load production before the doors open instead of chasing the line all shift. One long table also replaces the tangle of two smaller units pushed together, with a single cord to run and one continuous deck to wipe rather than a seam that collects spills between two tables.
Optional Upgrades
Guard options include the Double Sneeze Guard (SG5-2) for double-sided service and the Sanitary Guard (SG5-1) for single-sided counters. Cutting Board Kits (CBK-5) extend a carving surface along the full front rail, and the caster kit (3B-0050-B-HFT) converts the stand for daily repositioning with locking wheels.
