Commercial Steam Tables

Features and Benefits of Commercial Steam Tables

Commercial steam tables have been introduced to the foodservice industry to present efficient and practical restaurant equipment to keep, display, and serve hot food products. These hot food tables maintain the warmth of meals in heated pans by utilizing steam or hot air.

Commercial steam tables are also of great use since they contribute to lowering costs by retaining the freshness and taste of food products for longer periods. Hence, these steamtables are must-have additions to any restaurant, café, or catering event.

Commercial steam tables are engineered to streamline food service in any commercial setting, so they are furnished with well-designed features:

• These foodservice units are made of high-quality and durable materials to last longer on high-traffic floors and boast an eye-catching look with a shiny finish.
• They have steam wells to hold the food pans, and you can find models with up to 8 pans.
• Commercial steam tables with sneeze guards are also available to fully preserve the food from airborne contaminants.
• They are available with different base types. You can find open base steam tables to place additional equipment or storage bins and boxes or opt to purchase a model with an undershelf that will allow you to store the bulk ingredients, service ware, plates, or ladles.
• These commercial kitchen units are also available with different power sources. They can be installed in any part of your establishment with an electric outlet, while commercial gas steam tables are cheaper to run with higher energy efficiency.

Types of Commercial Steam Tables

Despite their look-alike designs and many common features, industrial steam tables are available in different configurations to meet the varying needs of the foodservice industry.

1. Open vs. Sealed Commercial Steam Tables

There are primarily two top options for steam tables. Open-well steam tables can be heated either through water steam or dry heat, which can be switched between when required. Sealed commercial steam tables offer only a dry heat option, but you do not need water.

2. Portable vs. Stationary Commercial Steam Tables

You can safely present all your food variety in these steam tables without any worry about overheating or cooling the hot-served meals. If you only need a steam table for your buffet, a stationery unit will be an excellent choice. However, you may need to move your buffet to outdoor events; hence, you can get a mobile unit since many commercial steam tables come with caster wheels.
