INTRODUCTION
Hatco Induction Dry Wells are specially designed to hold heated foods at safe serving temperatures. Their high efficiency and accuracy make Hatco Induction Dry Wells the perfect choice for quality foodservice organizations.
Induction cooking relies on the creation of a magnetic field between induction coils below the glass surface of the unit and a pan sitting on top of the glass surface. This magnetic field generates induction currents in the base of the pan, which heat the pan instantly. That heat then is transferred to the pan contents. Since the magnetic field exists only between the induction coils and the pan, the glass surface between the two does not become heated, eliminating heat loss and increasing efficiency. When the magnetic field is “broken” by turning off the unit or removing the pan, heat generation stops instantly.
Hatco Induction Dry Wells are products of extensive research and field testing. The materials used were selected for maximum durability, attractive appearance, and optimum performance. Every unit is inspected and tested thoroughly prior to shipment.
