FAQ
What makes this a rethermalizer and not just a warmer?
A rethermalizer heats chilled food through the HACCP danger zone up to safe serving temperature (150 °F) within 120 minutes—this model achieves that quickly via its direct-contact ceramic base
How long should I preheat before serving?
It takes approximately 15 minutes to reach the serving temperature with an empty inset, after which you can load the product.
Is it safe to touch during operation?
Yes. The exterior stays cool thanks to powder‑coated aluminum insulation.
Is the lid NSF-approved?
The unit is NSF-listed, but note the hinged cover is not individually NSF-certified.
Where is this made?
Manufactured in the USA with UL/CSA safety listing and NSF certification for foodservice environments
