Always put water in the well prior to turning on the table (for exposed and sealed units).

Don’t allow water to sit in wells for long periods of time.

After, rinse well, making sure to remove any chemical residue.

On a weekly basis, clean with a descaling agent approved for use on stainless steel to remove all scale deposits as these can cause corrosion and eventual failure if left for long stretches of time.

Clean spills up quickly because they will dry fast due to the heat of the unit, and this will make them much harder to clean afterwards.

Always scrub with the grain of stainless steel and never in a circular pattern. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers, especially steel wool pads, or harsh cleaning chemicals as these can erode and tarnish the metal.

At the end of each day, allow your steam table to cool, drain the water, and then scrub wells with a mild detergent.

To ensure a long and stable life of your product, here are a few general cleaning and maintenance tips:

To tell if a pan is heavy-duty or not, look for 22-gauge thickness and 300 series stainless steel construction. They tend to cost more upfront but need to be replaced far less often. Standard duty pans are more prone to show nicks and scrapes far sooner, while heavy-duty pans offer a reprieve in this area. Heavy-duty pans are considered to provide a more durable quality, better at withstanding the wear and tear of the kitchen.

Of course, this all depends on the variety and quantity of food you’re looking to serve.Īnother consideration is whether you need standard or heavy-duty steam table pans. These make it easy to customize your units and support the use of multiple fractional size pans. One well can also fit three third-size pans, four fourth-size pans, all the way up to nine ninth-sized pans.Īdapter plates and bars are available accessories that divide steam table wells to fit various types of pans, reduce steam loss for greater efficiency, catch drips before they fall into the well to assist in easier cleaning. With half-size food pans, you can fit two within one well. One well fits one full-size food pan however, food pans are available in a few standard sizes.

These units tend to have a lower upfront cost but require more attention and some degree of trial and error to find the right temperature for each product as you “get to know” your unit.

Infinite controls-sometimes referred to as manual controls-are set on a dial curve from low to high, giving the operator control over the intensity of the heat, but not necessarily the specific temperature. You will generally only see this feature advertised on electric tables.

One of the biggest benefits to the thermostatic control type is the ease of training staff to operate the unit. A user will determine the ideal serving temperature for each item and simply adjust the corresponding dial accordingly. Thermostatic controls allow users precise temperature control over each section of the steam table. The two control types you’ll notice most often are thermostatic and infinite controls. After deciding between gas or electric power, the next thing to consider is the type of controls with which you want your table equipped.
