A 3 well electric steam table is a commercial hot food table that is designed to keep the food warm. It normally requires a hundred and twenty volt or more depending on the brand opted for. This temperature controlled table has three functional food wells. The temperature is controlled by a thermostat that automatically adjusts with the food volume and the water temperature. This in turn reduces food from being wasted.
The table uses twenty five percent less energy meaning it is very energy efficient. The energy is basically concentrated into the three wells and not on the table surface itself, meaning there is less wastage of power. If maximum power is required, the table features capillary tube thermostat that controls the power supply.
To prolong the heating elements lifespan, they cast-into the table and to reduce scale build up, they come with a non-stick surface. For safety purposes, all 3 well electric steam tables come with an efficient automatic power switch and mechanical power guards, such as a ten to fifteen foot power cord that is placed at the bottom so as to keep it out of the way. Moreover, the three wells in a 3 well electric steam table are all self-insulating, do not rust and are quite easy to clean. And to keep the surface as dry as possible, the three wells are quite wide, have no drop lips and each come with its own brass drain valve. For a longer lifespan, the table is made of stainless steel meaning it is also quite easy to clean and maintain.
