FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
Free-Standing Forced Convection Food Holding Cabinets
The Crisp n’ Hold provides a heated stream of air to maintain fried food temperature and freshness for a specified period of time after cooking. Forced air is heated through an electric resistance heater and ducted to a food grate. The heated air is discharged through small circular openings in the bottom of the grate and through a slotted opening located front top to provide a warm blanket of air over the food
. Additionally, the grate has small round embossments to minimize hot metal contact with the food. The PCF14 & PCF18 are free-standing floor models on casters, so they can be moved for con­venience and cleaning. Swivel front casters have brakes warmer for easy access.
