Cadco Hot Plates & Ranges

There are many different types of portable hot plates and ranges to choose from for your food service operation.

Cadco Tubular Models: CSR-1T, CSR-3T, CDR-1T, CDR-1TFB, CDR-2TFB

Tubular model hot plates disperse heat throughout the bottom of the pan, therefore offering indirect heat allowing the food to cook more evenly.

These tubular model hot plates are also perfect for sous vide cooking.

These ranges stay cool to the touch, which helps to prevent burns, and they function with pots and pans that are a cast iron, enameled steel, or stainless steel bottom. They’re also very easy to clean, because of their sleek glass surface.

When quick service turnaround is a must, Cadco induction ranges are the answer. Other specific applications include searing, sautéing, and omelet/buffet and action stations, as well as, achieving a rolling boil and sous vide cooking.

Cadco glass ceramic ranges consist of radiant heat technology that offers quick heat up and cool down periods.

This range’s sleek, low profile styling is ideal for high-end buffet stations and specific cooking functions, such as searing and sautéing.
