Hot Plates & Heat Lamps

Hot plates are essential kitchen appliances used to keep food warm during buffet services, in catering, or at banquets. They function by applying gentle heat to maintain a consistent temperature without overcooking the food.

Hot plates are electric heating surfaces designed to keep food warm directly. Heat lamps, on the other hand, use infrared light to provide indirect heat, making them ideal for keeping food at a safe, warm temperature without drying it out.

Other heating displays include Bain Maries, Soup Kettles, Heated Display & Warmers, and Chafing Dishes & Chafing Fuel.
