Before you buy
- Count the wells you need at peak service, then check that each well takes a full-size hotel pan and the pan depth you use.
- Compare sealed wells, which keep water away from the element and wipe clean, with open wells that are usually run dry or with a water pan.
- Look for an individual thermostat on each well so one line can hold soups, proteins and starches at different settings.
- Check how water drains from wet wells, whether through a valve on each well or a shared manifold, and plan where it empties.
- If customers serve themselves, plan a sneeze guard and tray slide, and check what your local health unit expects on a self-serve line.
Common questions
What is the difference between sealed-well and open-well steam tables?
- Sealed wells are watertight, with the element underneath, so they can hold water for moist, even heat and spills stay off the element. Open wells expose the element under the pan and are usually run dry or with a separate water pan. Check which the model uses and whether the manufacturer allows wet operation in it.
Gas or electric steam table?
- Electric tables are the easier fit indoors: they plug in or are hard-wired, and they can be moved if they have casters. Gas tables need a gas connection and suit lines where electrical capacity is short or a gas line is already in place. Either way, confirm the utility at the serving line before choosing.
How many wells does my steam table need?
- Count the hot items on your menu at the busiest service and allow one well per item, plus a spare for rotating a fresh pan in when one runs low. Fractional pans on adapter bars let one well hold two or three smaller items, which stretches a shorter table further.
