Main Street Equipment CHP-1836I Full Size Insulated Heated Holding / Proofing Cabinet with Clear Door - 120V

The proofing function of this cabinet works best when it’s filled to near maximum capacity. A greater amount of dough will absorb excess humidity, keeping the cabinet temperature at the lower range.

Ambient room temperature can affect the temperature of your food product at holding/proofing. Due to differences in ambient room temperature, you may need to monitor the proofing process and/or adjust the proofing temperature and humidity settings of your Avantco heated holding/proofing cabinet to achieve the desired results. You may also need to adjust the temperature of the water used to produce steam.

In proofing mode, once steam is generated from the water contained in the bottom water pan, adjustments can be made to release heat in order to reach the desired temperature. If you are trying to proof at low temperatures, the desired proofing temperature must be warmer than the ambient temperature in your kitchen.

This Avantco heated holding/proofing cabinet operates at the following temperatures in heat and proof modes:

Heat Mode: 80°F – 185°F
Proof Mode: 85°F – 115°F (30-100% Humidity)

For effective heat retention and moisture resistance, this unit is insulated with Extruded Polystyrene (XPS). XPS is less prone to molding, providing a longer life for your unit.

Insulated and non-insulated holding cabinets both offer the same function by holding food at safe temperatures for hours until ready to serve, but for best results it's important to make a purchase based on your desired application. Non-Insulated Holding Cabinets are intended for applications where the doors will be closed for the majority of the day, such as proofing bread or keeping back-up portions hot. Insulated Holding Cabinets are better suited for keeping food hot when the doors will be opened and closed much more frequently, since they are better equipped at retaining the heat.
