CASTA Fries Warmer GN1/1 EASY 700 for Countertop Use

A countertop fries warmer keeps batches of fried potatoes, onion rings or other crisp items at serving temperature without further cooking. The appliance holds a gastronorm container of food above a heating element while a second element above radiates warmth downward. This dual heating system prevents the base from scorching and the top from drying out, so every portion stays hot, moist and ready to serve for hours after frying.

The operator slides a GN 1/1 container filled with freshly fried food into the warmer tank. A false bottom inside the tank lifts the container clear of any residual oil, protecting the food from direct contact. The ceramic upper element and sheathed lower resistor are switched on together with a single front-panel rocker. Once the warmer is running, the operator can load successive batches into the same container or swap containers as needed, keeping a steady supply of hot portions without crowding the fryer station.

The entire unit is built from AISI 430 stainless steel for the outer shell and AISI 304 for the worktop and removable container. The worktop is 1.2 mm thick, giving a rigid, hygienic surface that resists dents and wipes clean quickly. Four sturdy legs raise the unit to a comfortable working height on any counter or worktop.

A single ON/OFF switch on the front panel controls both heating elements. The 1 kW power rating draws a modest load on a standard 230 V circuit, allowing the warmer to share a ring with other countertop appliances without overloading the supply.

The footprint of 400 mm wide by 700 mm deep fits neatly on most worktops, leaving space beside the fryer or grill. The 275 mm height keeps the container at a convenient reach for plating. The GN 1/1 container holds enough portions for a busy service without taking up the space of two separate units.

Daily cleaning is straightforward: the GN container lifts out and washes in the sink or dishwasher, while the false bottom and tank interior wipe clean with a cloth. The worktop and outer surfaces need only a damp cloth to remove splashes and fingerprints.

The warmer is supplied as a single model, article E7/SPE40BB, designed for countertop placement in professional kitchens.
