Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

Do I need to add water to this warmer to use it?
Yes, you do. We do not recommend running warmers like this without water, as you will run the risk of burning out your element or scorching your food.
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.
Direct contact heating encourages more efficient heat transfer because the heating element is in direct contact with the water in the well. This type of heating not only saves energy, but eliminates the need for vents to be cut into the sides of the warmer for excess heat to escape. However, many warmers on the market have the heating element located beneath the well, which causes heat to be lost into the sides and bottom of the unit and vents must be cut into the sides of the warmer to allow this excess heat to escape.

Our unit stopped working less than 3 months after we started using it. Garbage product - VERY expensive for the quality.

Not real crazy about these Heat and Serve Warmers. The knobs fall off or they get stripped and you can't tell what temperature it is.

I love my soup rethermalizers! They are great for taking out the extra step of heating your product on the side. They do take longer to heat up your product but it is great for farmers' markets or events. Mine have held up after two years of being banged around. I would definitely suggest spending the extra money on a rethermazlier over a traditional soup crock.

The Vollrath Heat N' Serve soup warmer is everything you would wish for in a soup warmer! Its durable, keeps your soup at the perfect serve safe temperature and is a great price! I ordered two of them and couldn't be happier! Not only that, but they have a long life. The store I used to work for had one in use daily, all day long and it still is going strong!

Keeps things warm just fine. However it does tend to run out of water very fast if you do not have enough in there. And if you put too much water in there it creates an overflow mess.

this soup warmer was a great investment. Seems to be holding up very well. It has a nice look to it, easy to use temp knob, and low water indicator.
