Food display cabinets come in a range of temperature options to suit your needs

Temperature is a critical factor in food safety, and choosing the right display to keep food safe to eat is essential.

Chilled cabinets - These are ideal for food that can spoil, like meat and dairy. It's important to remember these are for display purposes only and should not be used as a refrigerator to store product overnight.

Ambient cabinets - This type of food cabinet is best for products that can be safely kept at room temperature, including scones, muffins, bread products, and biscuits.

Heated cabinets - These are for displaying hot products that do not need further heating. They should be kept at a temperature above where the food is considered safe, as often food can be in there for several hours at a time.

A high speed cook oven is an innovative and cost-effective alternative to pie warmer cabinets

Instead of purchasing a heated cabinet, you might consider a Merrychef high speed cook oven. This is a new technology that can reduce food wastage and save you money. You can display all your products that are normally heated in a chilled display cabinet and then cook to order. A pie with raw pastry can be cooked and heated all the way through in about one minute. Other savoury food like quiche and paninis can be fully cooked in seconds.

It's a bigger outlay upfront, but if you consider that you won't need a pie warmer and will save on wasted food, the return on investment is quick. A high speed cook oven makes an excellent option for high end cafes.
