Adcraft KTKAP Commercial Kitchen Portable Steam Table Food Warmer Soup Station Set for Catering and Restaurants Stainless Steel, Silver Tone, (FW-1200W)

We bought this for our restaurant and had it in service for four months before we retired and closed the doors. It works beautifully, was easy to clean, and well worth the price. All stainless steel Construction, so it's pretty rugged. No whistles and bells here but gets the job done.

They work. Haven't used for long, but I like them. I will say that you have to start with hot water, because they seem to take a while to heat up otherwise. They do keep food really hot though once steamy. No complaints. Have an extention cord with surge protector handy.

Works good, durable.

We used the last one every day, three times a day for over a year and finally got a new one. Great value for the money

UPDATE: I have been using this gizmo non-stop for sous-vide cooking since the prior review about 7 months ago without any problems whatsoever. It is big enough that I can do fourteen vacpacced steaks at a time or 28 chicken legs that are double packed and vaced, for example. Just a rock-solid product for my purpose. I have increased to five stars to reflect this solid performance.good quality, lots of power to heat 4.5 gallons of warm water to 130 in 30 to 45 minutes. the SVM 1500D controller works well with it. It is slightly more shallow than I would have wished, but this hasn't proven to be too big a problem as the bath is so large on width and depth. I've cooked three large roasts at once without undue crowding, but the bags must lay flat, not stand on edge. a 1/2 sheet pan fits well as partial cover leaving room for sensor wires at one end.

Running a Senior Center/Meals on Wheels and these steamers keep the food nice and warm. The price is amazing, especially when you are on a limited budget! Would highly suggest these for businesses, churches or large gatherings.

this plus a PID controller (like the Auber) is what you need if you're thinking sousvide. The only thing to contemplate is whetheryou have space in your kitchen. If you do, then immediately forgot sousvide supreme or other mass-market item, such as immersion circulators. This does the same job, at a much lower price but a) bigger, more versatile, b) cheaper to replace/upgrade (the waterbath is distinct from the controller). I think the sousvide supreme guys are doing a great job as far as marketing and consumer education, and are certainly serving a public that just wants something to plug in. But if you are a thinking man or woman who wants the best at a good price (and have space in your kitchen) then get this + Auber (or other, but I got the auber and I like it) controller.

Boxes were really beat up when they arrived, but the units are working
