Neumarker Thermo Shop GN1/2 for Holding Hot Food

A thermo shop keeps cooked food at serving temperature without further cooking. It circulates warm air around gastronorm containers, preventing cooling while preserving moisture and texture. The method relies on gentle, even heat that does not dry or overcook the food, making it suitable for holding sauces, roasts, vegetables and other hot dishes between preparation and service.

The operator loads gastronorm trays into the interior, closes the door and sets the desired temperature up to 70 °C. The unit heats the air and maintains the setting until the food is removed. A thermo shop is not a cooking appliance; it holds food that is already cooked, so the sequence starts with loading and ends with unloading, without a cooking cycle.

The cabinet is sized for a single GN1/2 tray. Exterior dimensions are 330 mm wide, 385 mm deep and 410 mm high, fitting under most worktops or on a counter. The interior reaches a maximum temperature of 70 °C, which covers the safe holding range for hot food. The unit draws 1.3 kW and runs on a 230 V single-phase supply, matching standard kitchen circuits. It weighs 13 kg, allowing one person to move it without a trolley.

Cleaning follows the interior surfaces and the door seal. The warm, enclosed space must be wiped after each use to remove food residue and prevent odours. The seal around the door should be checked regularly to ensure it closes tightly and maintains temperature without heat loss.
