PRODUCT INFORMATION Continued
The PHD holding drawer is intended to keep cooked food
warm and fresh. It is not intended for cooking or steaming
food. The product allows food to be cooked ahead of
incoming orders at peak periods and maintain freshness and
quality while the food is being serviced.
The humidity set point is intended to approximate a Relative
Humidity scale not replicate it. There are many factors that
limit the accuracy of an RH scale that can be achieved.
Settings will however be repeatable under consistent
circumstances and our humidity scale will be consistent with
all PHD products.
Air temperature and humidity settings will have to be
determined experimentally for optimal product life and
quality. As a guide we provide the following typical data:

For those foods that require additional moisture during the
holding period, water can be added to the interior pan. For
those foods that do not require additional moisture, the
bottom control and heating element can still be utilized
without the additional of water to the pan. It is suggested
that the drawer be closed during the heat up and holding
process to minimize heat loss, also to assure proper
temperature control.
It is suggested prior to holding prepared foods that the
drawer or drawers be preheated for approximately 60
