ALTO SHAAM HALO HEAT DOUBLE WARMING DRAWERS 500-2D

An Alto-Shaam 500-2D double warming drawer using Halo Heat technology, which holds prepared food hot without added water or harsh heating elements. That distinction matters: water-bath holding adds moisture that softens crust and coating, while dry radiant holding keeps fried and baked items closer to how they left the kitchen.

Who it suits

For service lines, banqueting and room-service operations holding plated or prepared items between cooking and serving. Two independent drawers let different products hold separately. Since it can build into cabinetry, it suits front-of-house and pass positions where a bulky holding cabinet would not fit.

Common questions

What is Halo Heat?
A gentle radiant holding method that keeps food hot without added water or high-intensity elements, so texture holds better than in a steam or water-bath cabinet.

Does food dry out without water?
Gentle radiant heat holds without the harsh drying of high-intensity elements. For fried and baked items it preserves texture better than steam holding.

Can it be built into cabinetry?
Yes, it is designed to build into a cabinet run, which suits pass and front-of-house positions.

Why two drawers?
They hold independently, so different products can be kept separate rather than sharing one compartment.
