FAQ
Which food warmer should I use for my cafe, bakery, or restaurant?
Here are four top-rated options based on your business needs:
-
Cafes or kiosks: The 3 Tier Pizza Cabinet keeps food warm in a compact footprint, ideal for quick-serve menus like slices, paninis, or pastries.
-
Fast-food counters: The 3 Tier Fried Chicken Cabinet maintains crispness and heat, perfect for wings, tenders, and high-turnover fried items.
-
Bakery displays: The 3 Tier Hot Pastry Warmer draws attention with its red crown top and LED lighting, great for showcasing tarts, buns, or snacks.
-
Restaurants or buffets: The 5 Tier Pizza Cabinet provides five levels of heated display space, making it ideal for showcasing a high volume of hot items while keeping them at serving temperature.
Each unit features adjustable heat, clear glass panels, and stainless-steel construction for durability and professional food presentation.
Are the trays in countertop food warmers removable for cleaning?
Most models include removable stainless-steel trays and a bottom residual tray for easy cleaning. However, some units feature fixed tray racks for added stability, meaning only the bottom tray may be removable.
How long does it take a food display warmer to heat up?
Most countertop food warmers take about 10 to 15 minutes to reach their operating temperature. The heating time varies with the wattage, unit size, and whether it’s already loaded with food.
Once preheated, warmers typically maintain a stable temperature range between 60°F and 185°F (or 57°F to 185°F, depending on the model) for safe food holding and display.
Do the food warmers include lighting to enhance food display?
Yes. All models feature built-in LED lighting, ranging from 7W to 8W, with color temperatures between 3000K and 6000K to make food look fresh and appealing.
Do the food warmers include a water bowl or humidity feature?
Yes. Each unit includes a water bowl that helps maintain humidity, keeping food fresh, flavorful, and preventing it from drying out during display.
Can I adjust the heat separately for each pot?
No. The dual soup warmer uses a single heating element and one temperature control knob, so both pots heat evenly at the same temperature setting.
How easy are the soup warmers to clean?
Very easy. The stainless-steel pots, lids, and pot holder are detachable for quick washing, and the built-in drain faucet allows simple emptying and rinsing of the water tank after use.
Can the soup warmer be used for long events or continuous service?
Yes. The soup warmer is designed for commercial use in restaurants, food trucks, buffets, and catering. It can operate continuously for 10 to 20 hours, and for best performance, it’s recommended to let the unit rest for about 30 to 60 minutes after extended use.
What sizes of food heater strip warmers are available?
The food heater strip warmers come in three sizes to suit different setups:
-
24-inch (900W) for compact counters, small serving areas, or individual trays.
-
36-inch (1000W) for medium buffet lines or two standard food pans.
-
43-inch (1100W) for longer counters or multiple-dish pass-through areas.
All models provide even top-down heat up to 392°F (200°C) and can be installed by hanging or wall mounting, making them ideal for restaurants, buffets, and catering setups.
How do I install the food heater strip warmer?
The strip warmer offers two installation options to fit your setup. It can be hung by chains above a counter or mounted with brackets to a wall or shelf. All necessary mounting hardware is included, except the hanging chains.
For best performance, install the unit within 24 inches (60 cm) above the food to ensure even heat coverage.
How does the food heater strip warmer operate?
It features a simple ON/OFF knob and a plug-and-play 110 V power cord. The stainless-steel heating tube delivers fast, even heat up to 392 °F (200 °C), keeping food warm and ready to serve.
How does the countertop pizza oven ensure even baking?
The oven uses dual heating tubes on the top and bottom to deliver 360° even heat distribution. This design helps pizzas, pastries, and snacks cook evenly and quickly, producing a crisp crust without burning or undercooking. It is available in two sizes, 12-inch (1300W) and 16-inch (1700W), to fit both compact and commercial kitchen setups.
Is the pizza oven safe and easy to clean?
Yes. The oven features insulation cotton on the top to reduce surface heat, a rubber handle that stays cool to the touch, and vented side panels for safe heat dissipation. The removable stainless-steel crumb tray and smooth surfaces make it simple to wipe clean after each use.
How do you use a rice roll steamer to make Cheung Fun at home?
Start by adding water to the base of the Cheung Fun Steamer Rice Rolls and heating until steam forms. Then pour your rice batter and toppings into the tray and steam until set. The water-bath design ensures even heat distribution, helping rice rolls turn out smooth and tender.
How does the dual-bulb food heat lamp work?
The food heat lamp uses two 275 W infrared bulbs that radiate warm white light at 2300 K to keep cooked food hot without drying it out. The adjustable height (24 – 33 inches) lets you control the warming distance for different foods.

-
Café and bakery owners displaying hot items.

Restaurants maintaining food temperature during peak hours.
