FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

Forced Convection Food Holding Cabinet

The Crisp n’ Hold provides a heated stream of air to maintain crispy or fried food temperature and freshness for a
specified period of time after cooking. Forced air is heated through an electric resistance heater and ducted into
cabinet interior. The heated air is discharged through small circular openings in the bottom and sides of the cabi­net interior caddy, which is removable. A plenum on the front of the removable caddy aids in directing a warm
blanket of air over the food. Pans rest on wire rods built into the removable caddy.
