Server Topping Warmers
Server topping warmers with ladles hold and dispense dessert toppings and other warm sauces such as nacho cheese or gravy. Warmer bases can also be used with a squeeze bottle holder or pump component. More
Server Countertop Topping Warmers: What You Need to Know
Create a dessert topping station with circular Server fudge warmers in single-, double-, or triple-compartment bases. These units come with lids and Server stainless steel ladles and accommodate a No. 10 can or Server's 3-quart dispenser jar that can be purchased separately. Server topping warmers are suitable for use at buffet stations and in back-of-house prep areas.
In addition to circular bases, Server also offers rectangular food warmers that hold 1⁄3-, 1⁄6-, or 1⁄9-size steam pans for use with Server stainless steel ladles or pumps. In both types of warmers, the base is made of stainless steel and uses a water bath to heat jars, cans, or steam pans placed in it. Thermostatic controls help the user set the temperature as high as 210 degrees Fahrenheit with great precision.
Common Questions About Server Topping Warmers
Are ladles interchangeable with pumps?
Yes, Server countertop topping warmer bases compatible with 3-quart jars and No. 10 cans will accommodate a ladle and lid or a dispenser pump. This also gives users the option to use one side of a twin-compartment base with a pump and the other side with a ladle. For further flexibility, purchase a conversion kit that enables you to pump product from a pouch.
Can I serve cold toppings with a Server fudge warmer?
Topping warmers are not meant for use with cold toppings, but Server offers an option designed for this purpose. Rectangular Server fountain jars are lined with a gel that stays cool after it is removed from a freezer, and these rectangular jars then drop into insulated Server bases that do not include a warming element. Server also offers a special jar for keeping whipped topping spray cans cold.
What other Server products do I need for my dessert station?
Server offers additional products that are useful for a dessert or topping station, including the following:
- Server heated dipper wells are designed to fit in 51⁄2- to 61⁄2-inch counter cutouts next to your ice cream or other frozen dessert station. The well holds serving utensils such as ice cream dippers in water at 140 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent bacteria growth between uses. These units may include a timer to alert you when the water needs changing.
- Server squeeze bottle topping warmers fit in the same base as circular Server topping warmers. This component will enable you to squeeze hot fudge or caramel onto desserts from a plastic bottle. Server offers traditional squeeze bottles and first-in, first-out squeeze bottles that have the capability to fill from the bottom.
- Server's cone dip warmers are available with one, two, or three compartments that hold 3-quart jars or a No. 10 can. These units can heat to 150 degrees Fahrenheit and are designed for dipping cones into toppings. Unlike topping warmers, cone dip warmers heat the topping using air instead of a water bath.
