Induction Warmer Food Holding Tips

Hatco Induction Warmers maintain holding temperatures very
efficiently and effectively. However, ambient conditions, food
type, and other factors play a critical role in the actual food
temperature. Use the following tips to ensure proper and
consistent holding temperatures.
• Cover food with a lid and stir often, if applicable.
Uncovered food product will lose heat quickly due to
ambient conditions like room temperature and active air
movement.
• Check food temperature regularly and make adjustments
to the temperature setting accordingly.
• Hold foods that are appropriate for the Induction Warmer.
A thick liquid product, like chili, that is held in a pan with
a lid and stirred frequently will hold temperature for
longer and much more consistently than uncovered fried
chicken pieces.
