Setting Warming Drawer Controls
Warming Drawer
The purpose of the warming drawer is to keep hot cooked
foods at serving temperatures. Examples are vegetables,
gravies, meats, casseroles, biscuits, rolls and pastries. It is
not recommended to heat cold food in the warming drawer;
always start with hot food.
The warming drawer may also be used to warm dinner
plates. All food placed in the warming drawer should be
covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain quality.
Arranging warming drawer rack positions
The keep warming drawer rack may be used in 2 ways:
In the
upright position
(See Fig. 1) to allow low profile
food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack
(for example, rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a
casserole dish underneath).
In the
downward position
(See Fig. 2) to allow for light
weight food items and empty cookware (for example,
rolls or pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
