The Vollrath 74110140 11 qt Countertop Soup Warmer with Thermostatic Controls is a game-changer for commercial kitchens looking for efficiency, precision, and ease of use. Part of the Mirage® series, this induction-based soup warmer replaces traditional water-bath systems, reducing energy consumption while maintaining optimal soup temperatures. Its 4 preset modes (broth soups, créme soups, chili, and mac and cheese) allow for quick, consistent results, saving time and effort. The unit features smart sensors that activate an LED stir indicator when the inset is nearly empty, preventing food residue from burning onto the inset. Additionally, the thermostatic controls operate in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, offering flexibility for professional chefs. The hinged, lift-off cover is designed for easy access and ladle-friendly slots, while the induction-ready inset eliminates the need for water, making maintenance a breeze. Ideal for restaurants, cafeterias, and food service operations, this Vollrath soup warmer combines innovation with durability, ensuring your kitchen runs smoothly with minimal energy waste. With a 1-year warranty on parts and labor, it’s a reliable investment for any commercial kitchen.
