Warmers are designed to hold food that has already been heated to the appropriate serving temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Rethermalizers, on the other hand, reheat chilled foods through the HACCP "danger zone" to a safe serving temperature within a controlled timeframe. To meet industry acceptance criteria, rethermalizers must be capable of heating contents from 40-165 degrees Fahrenheit within 120 minutes and maintaining a temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
This food warmer is compatible with full size and fractional size food pans (sold separately). Please note that fit may vary by brand, and some gaps could be present depending on the pan used.

This food warmer works great with all size pans. We swap from half to thirds depending on what we are serving. We do have to remember to monitor the water level as it's easy for it to get too low. It does heat up fairly quickly and hold the heat well.

I have purchased 2 of these units and they work really well in our catering business/ food truck. Unit heats up and holds temp well, but I do recommend that you start off with hot water instead of heating it in the unit. It's much faster.

Ordered several of these. All failed in a few months time. Not worth wasting time or money on.

We use these warmers for our soup, stew, hot dog chili, cheese sauce, and other food that gets rotated on the menu. There was already one when we opened up, but needed another to match. They are both set to different temperatures

Heats well and holds its water consistently, but the corners are VERY rounded making it difficult for certain pans to fit properly. I have to play around with spacers/sizes/shapes for them to fit flush with the rim. I'll admit I have a mixed bag of brands when it comes to hotel pans, but my other steam well doesn't have any issue fitting whatever pans I grab for service. I'm able to make it work but it's definitely a hassle that I have to manage every time I build out my steam well each day.

We use 4 of these for our Sunday brunch service. Works best with 3 third pans as sixth pans are a very tight fit. If using third pans, it is great.

Pans do not fit well in them. Using 1/6 pans and they do not fit flush. I dont know if you have to buy special pans for this unit.

I love this warmer, it works great. I can put my chili and cheese in here. Leave it and it's the perfect temperature and ready to go. I don't have to babysit it, I know the foid will be warmed to temp. Perfect product.
