Model DHB-KFC
Prince Castle Food Holding Bins provide the capacity required for large foodservice operations while performing at
peak energy efficiency. Each unit features two individually
controlled holding chambers. The DHB-KFC has shatterproof lighting to illuminate foods. New Reli-A-Temp™
infrared heater technology holds product temperatures
more consistent within the designated holding time than
other types of heating systems. This exclusive heater
design spreads the heat evenly over the entire food holding
area, eliminating edge drop off. Food is kept at the desired
serving temperature.
