Hatco FR-3 Food Rethermalizer, Bain Marie Heater, 3 KW, 208v/1ph

The Hatco FR-3 3KW Food Rethermalizer (Bain Marie Heater) is a professional-grade solution for maintaining safe serving temperatures in commercial kitchens. Designed for use with bain maries or food rethermalizers, this 208V, 1-phase unit delivers precise water temperatures between 140°F and 190°F—ideal for thawing and holding chilled, precooked foods without compromising quality. Its permanently submerged heating element ensures even heat distribution, while continuous water circulation minimizes cool spots, preventing food safety risks. Operators can easily adjust temperatures via an exterior thermostat, and an energy cutoff system automatically shuts off the unit if temperatures rise unexpectedly, adding an extra layer of protection. The dual-reservoir design separates the sump and heating compartments, improving efficiency, while the stainless steel front and durable hammertone body stand up to heavy-duty restaurant environments. With a 1-year parts & labor warranty and a 5-year tank warranty, the Hatco FR-3 is built for long-term reliability, making it a smart investment for restaurants, buffets, and catering operations prioritizing food safety and operational efficiency.
