The Avantco W50 electric food warmer is a fantastic small steamtable able to fit on any countertop. It’s low cost, portability, and easy operation make it a great addition to any restaurant or snack bar. No wonder it’s become one of Avantco’s most popular equipment items. In this video, we’ll go over the features of this unit, as well as the operation instructions, so you’re able to get the most out of your Avantco food warmer! First, to go over the features: The Avantco W50 holds a standard full sized steamtable pan up to 4” deep, or any combination of fractional pans that are equal to full size. The hot water well is made from sturdy corrosion-resistant 20ga 18/8 stainless steel. Its light weight makes it easy to move around to where you need it, but don’t ever move this when it’s hot. This unit is only 14.5” wide and 22.5” deep so it will take up minimal countertop space. The Avantco W50 operates on 120 volt electric with a standard 3 prong plug, so you can use it most anywhere. The four foot cord and plug will allow additional flexibility. It meets ETL electrical standards for commercial operation in the US and Canada. Using the Avantco W50 is very easy. Here is how. First, put the unit on a flat stable surface. Make sure the cord and plug will not be across a walkway, because that would pose a hazard. Fill the tank with one gallon of water, and plug in the unit. Preheat the unit by placing an empty steam table pan on to cover the well, then turn the machine on high. Preheat for 30 minutes. When you are ready, turn the control knob down a quarter turn, then place your food in the well. When the unit is hot, make sure you use gloves, mitts, or potholders to protect your hands. Periodically check food temperature, making sure it remains above 135 degrees for food safety, and adjust the knob as necessary. From time to time, lift the food pan and check the water level. Add hot water as necessary. To clean, make sure the unit cools down completely, and then unplug and empty your warmer. Wipe out the interior with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use abrasives or scouring pads to clean this unit and do not immerse the unit in water.

    These have helped out so much in the kitchen. They keep pre-cooked items at a safe temperature (bacon, sausage, pre grilled onion and pepper for example). And speed up up delivery of your food by keeping everything organized and hot. They seem durable and are very easy to clean. We are going to purchase more as we continue to grow.

    AMAZING! Very good price, reliable and easy to use. Light weight and easy to clean. We used our first the fist time at a small catering event. After running them for 4 hours, we still did not need to add water
    from Eat Sprout on
    Avantco is a name you can trust. We have several of their products and have not been disappointed. This unit heats up quickly. Be sure not to overfill the reservoir water or it is not as efficient.
    from DogOnIt Hotdogs on
    Great product for the price. Keeps your hot food hot! We bought two after the first one worked so well. Easy to clean and maintain.
    from Vineyard Christian Fellowship on
    Great Price, this is our go to model of steam tray when it comes time to replace them (we are exceptionally hard on them. Study, reliable and well priced
    from Root & Bone LLC on
    This food warmer is light weight easy to clean and simple to set up, I've used this in all my catering events and it's a life saver for events lasting 8- 10 hours! Will be ordering more.
    from LEMONGRASS on
    does what it need to do, didn't give us any problem at all, easy clean up and can not beat the priced. only downfall is that it does use a lot of power so you can't plug in multiple warmer on the same plug
    from taste on
    This food warmer is a champ. New employees often let it run dry before they learn their lesson, and it has kept kicking. It does it's job and we're happy with it. Simple to use and easy to clean.
    from Clatter, LLC on
    This full size electric warmer is amazing. I use it for my parties and it definitely keeps the food warm. I recommend this product for everyone.

    This food warmer works wonderfully! All of our cooks love having it hand, and it is easy to operate, a perfect match for any kitchen!
    from The Public House Tap & Grill on
    warmer is great keeps food good and hot 1 flaw is you can't put six 1/6 pan's in it. corners are to curved for them to fit correctly. would order another one but I need the flexibility to use different size pan's
    from Rocheforts the next generation llc on
    Fractional pans (1/4) size will not fit. Also the heating indicator light comes on as soon as you plug it in, even with the dial set to off. It never goes out even when up to tempature.
    from D&N BBQ on
    We appreciate your feedback! We’re sorry this is defective. A Customer Solutions Representative will be contacting you soon.

    Best product for best price, perfectly working warmer from past 1 year, I strongly recommend this product, with some extra accessories you can convert this to soup warmer also

    Purchased this for a mobile event that we had access to electricity. Works great, gets up to temp really fast and holds well. Used with soup inserts.

    This food warmer does the trick, simple to use, gets up to temp and holds the temp consistently. What more can you ask for?
    from courageous bakery on
    This product is fantastic. Never had anything like it. I would love to get a full size proofer of this brand. You set the temperature at 1-7 and it constantly keeps it at that temperature. No worry about your food being cold because this machine is always accurate. It even works well for cold products with ice.
