Hot Bars

Hot bars are designed to practically and attractively display finished hot food products to customers.  A hot food bar holds heated, prepared foods at temperatures above the 140 degree Fahrenheit "danger zone."  All of the hot bars offered through KaTom are from our premier manufacturers Vollrath or Duke Manufacturing. 

Types

Hot food bars can be purchased in two different types, either electric or gas.  Electric hot bars are available in a variety of finishes, such as stainless steel, painted steel, laminate, and powdercoated finishes.  Electric models range in sizes from 34" H x 30 3/8" W x 22 7/16" D up to 36" H x 88" W x 34" D.

Gas hot bars can be powered by either liquid propane or natural gas.  Gas hot food bars have 2 - 6 burners and 2 - 6 wells.  These units have dimensions ranging from 34" H x 30 3/8" W x 22 7/16" D up to 36" H x 88" W x 34" D.

Wells

Hot bars can be purchased with 2 - 6 wells to accommodate as few or as many steam table pans as needed for the size and volume of your business or organization. 

Specialty Options

Commercial hot bars have two specialty options for you to choose from.  You can purchase commercial hot food bars with either a poly cutting board or a stainless steel work surface.  Units with a poly cutting board allow a large area surface for cutting without having to worry about scratching the actual bar itself. 

Stainless steel work surfaces permit you to use the surface however needed without having to worry about messy cleanup.  The stainless steel area helps to minimize the number of scratches and dents and wipes off easily, minimizing the amount of cleaning and maintenance time necessary.
 

Exterior Construction

Hot bars are available in a variety of finishes to choose from: painted steel, stainless steel, and stainless steel & laminate.  Each of these finishes provide an attractive exterior that will look great in any commercial kitchen.  The painted steel exterior allows for easy cleanup and minimal scratches and dents just like non-painted stainless steel, yet offer a slightly different look than the metallic finish of steel. 

Stainless steel exteriors offer a sleek, attractive look for your commercial hot food bar.  Stainless steel exteriors are extremely hard and durable, making them nearly scratch and dent resistant.  These exteriors are easy to clean and will not react if it comes in contact with any type of food. 

Stainless steel and laminate finishes combine the quality of stainless steel with the use of laminate, which creates an appealing visual display in a variety of colors.  Laminates are available in Beige Grafix, Stellar, Oxide, Northern Oak, Fallen Leaves, Chestnut Burl, Amber Maple, and Azul Granite.
