The Alto-Shaam 500-2DN is a premium, stackable freestanding 2-compartment drawer warmer designed for commercial kitchens that demand precision and efficiency. With two 15" compartments, this unit can simultaneously warm two full-size food pans (12" x 20" x 6") without flavor transfer, making it ideal for restaurants serving dishes with similar holding requirements. The single control panel with up/down temperature adjustment buttons ensures consistent temperatures between 60°F and 200°F, while the digital display provides accurate readouts. Using Alto-Shaam’s proprietary Halo Heat® technology, this drawer warmer delivers low-intensity, gentle heat that prevents foods from drying out, preserving texture and taste. This feature is especially valuable for delicate items like pastries, seafood, and baked potatoes, ensuring they reach customers at their best.
Built for countertop placement, the 500-2DN is a space-saving solution that can support up to 50 rolls or 34 baked potatoes per pan, making it perfect for high-volume kitchens. Its stainless steel exterior and stackable design allow for efficient use of counter space, while the 230V/1-phase power requirement ensures compatibility with most restaurant setups. The thermostatic controls and heat indicator light provide reliable operation, while the unit’s compact dimensions (16.7" W x 18.94" H x 31.19" D) make it easy to integrate into existing workflows.
For restaurants prioritizing quality, efficiency, and durability, the Alto-Shaam 500-2DN is a top choice. Its ability to maintain precise temperatures, prevent flavor cross-contamination, and accommodate high-volume demands makes it a staple for professional kitchens. Whether you need to hold buffet items, desserts, or prepared meals, this drawer warmer ensures your dishes are served at the perfect temperature every time.
