How is a Holding Drawer Used
- Prep and line cooks use holding drawers to reduce labor and cook times.
- Front-of-the-house staff use drawers for quick access to appetizers and sides, such as tortilla chips and bread.
- Caterers use holding drawers to hold cooked food for transport.
- Holding anything you want to keep moist or crisp.
- A holding drawer can hold soups or beverages.
For example, high-volume food products such as bread rolls are kept warm for immediate serving. Also, perishable foods such as meats stay above 140°F to prevent spoiling; moreover, guests dine safely. In order to do this, set and adjust temperatures with the electronic differential controls. These controls automatically monitor and adjust the drawer temperature.
