MT-1826-14, designed with "easy" in mind. High performance-low technology! Provide the best food quality from amplified heated moisture for short-term holding applications. Upfront and recessed control panel has separate air moisture and air temperature settings.
The MT-1826-14 can accommodate a wide range of trays and pans, including popular 18x26, 12x20, GN 1/1 as well as 14x18 trays & pans. Standard spacing is 4.5" spacing, but due to the unique fully adjustable tray slides and uprights punched at 1.5" centers you can hold almost any combination of trays and pans at the same time. The TS series can also be equipped with wire shelves for even more added flexibility.
Simply load the MT-1826-14 with your trays and pans of cooked, hot food and this warmer will keep your food hot and ready until serving time.
FWE's humidifying heat system, MOISTURE-TEMP, pre-conditions the cabinet environment by gently circulating moist air throughout the interior. Food is kept hot and fresh for hours. Controls are up-front, and allow air moisture and air temperature to be controlled individually with the turn of a dial. All models are fully insulated throughout the cabinet and door to provide energy efficient heating and longer holding times. Energy star models are available.
FWE has been awarded Best in Class by Consultants for the third year in a row for mobile hot food holding equipment, so you can rest assured you are getting the best quality equipment available.
C-UL-US mark indicates a product meets the UL and CSA testing standards for both the United States and Canada.
You may also see a designation that a product meets NSF/ANSI, which adds rules from the American National Standards Institute to the testing. ANSI works closely with NSF to develop its food safety standards and complete testing to those.
If you think of NSF International classification as protection for your customers, then the mark of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) indicates safety for those who work in your commercial kitchen. The Illinois-based testing agency assures that the equipment that gets its stamp operates safely. There is also a sanitation classification that offers similar assurances about food safety as the NSF mark. Products are indicated as "Classified UL-EPH."
A drawback to the all swivel configuration is that it is harder to control the direction of the equipment when rolled in a straight line.
Heated holding some menu items, such as chicken, will become steamed or soggy by using a covered pan. When exposed to dry heat, uncovered, these items become dry and rubbery. Achieve best results with controlled moisture. The length of holding time is also extended.
All adjustable legs are provided with sealed precision bearing with a black anti-rust coating.
