CookTek Induction Warmers: What You Need to Know

As a leading provider of induction equipment for professional foodservice operations, CookTek warmers offer everything chefs and caterers need to cook raw ingredients and hold prepared foods at safe temperatures in a serving line. CookTek induction warmers can be used to prepare made-to-order meals in hospitality dining rooms or incorporated into high-volume operations offering a variety of entrees and sides throughout the day. Our selection of CookTek holding and cooking equipment includes:

• Hot food wells. Drop-in hot food wells from the SinAqua™ series don't require water, eliminating the need for drains and hassle of filling and refilling the food well to hold food at serving temperatures in a buffet line.
• Buffet warmers. CookTek warmers from the Silenzio™ and Incogneeto™ series create discrete warming areas for chefs utilizing chafers or enameled cookware. These may be round or square and have several temperature settings to handle items as delicate as melted chocolate or as hearty as pasta and protein. Trivets placed on the countertop over these warming surfaces indicate the cooking surface and sense the active temperature.
• Induction chafers and inserts. These round, induction-ready chafers and accompanying insets are available in various sizes. The chafers are equipped with glass lids so onlookers can easily see the food being warmed.

How do I install a CookTek induction warmer?

The process for installing a CookTek food warmer depends on the type and design of the equipment. Buffet warmers may be drop-ins from the Silenzio series or undercounter units from the Incogneeto series; hot food wells from the SinAquia series are also meant to drop into a countertop. Specific installation requirements can be found on a product's spec sheet, but all require sufficient ventilation within the cabinet and may list a minimum amount of clearance, generally several inches.
