For Pre-Packaged Menu Items

By perfectly holding many wrapped or boxed menu items, including sandwiches, chicken and pizza, Prince Castle FHBs are ideal for operations that hold pre- packaged hot foods.

Prince Castle FHBs feature solid state controls and Reli-A-TempTMheating to accurately hold food at safer and desirable holding temperatures. Adjustable shelving and independent heater controls allow the operator to customize their holding

How Reli-A-TempTMWorks in FHBs

•Long-wave radiation reflects off the shiny surfaces of the bin until the energy (heat) is absorbed by either the food or the energy source.

•Because the food and NOT the environment is being heated, ambient temperatures and the equipment surface temperatures stay cool while food remains hot.

•The heat source efficiently absorbs and emits energy (heat) through use of color and state-of-the art materials, thereby greatly reducing energy consumption.

capabilities.

•Reli-A-TempTMuses long-wave infrared radiation to create high energy environments with lower temperature heaters, reducing stress on components and increasing reliability without compromising performance.

Dedicated Holding Bins (DHB) -

Flexibly Designed for Work-In-Process Operations

Prince Castle DHBs are an integral part of Work-In-Process operations that prepare menu items to order on demand. Designed to hold individual menu components, Prince Castle DHBs can hold virtually any fried, grilled or baked foods longer than traditional holding methods. In addition, DHBs don’t dry out the food like heat lamps, and they don’t wash

the food with water like steamers, diminishing flavor and making food soggy.

Prince Castle designed each DHB with flexibility in mind. Whether it’s the unique pan/ cover system that allows operators to hold a variety of fried and non-fried foods, or the space-conscious footprint, Prince Castle DHBs have an important place in any kitchen.

DHBs Efficiently Holds Foods

Prince Castle DHBs use a combination of three different heat types to efficiently and accurately hold menu items.

1 - Reli-A-TempTMtechnology creates infrared energy that penetrates the food, maintaining proper internal food temperatures.

2 - Conductive heat generated from the bottom heater is transferred to the food through direct contact with heaters.

3 - Convective heat (warm air) bathes the outside surface

of the pan, keeping the air within the pan warm by preventing hot air to escape.

In an open environment (no pan cover), moisture from the food’s surface is allowed to escape, maintaining a crispy-outside, moist- inside product.

In a closed environment, the foods natural moisture is trapped within the pan, keeping product juicy and warm without washing away flavors with steam like steamers do.
