For optimal freshness, commercial drop-in food wells are the perfect solution. These units are designed to hold food at desired temperatures for extended periods, ensuring that your guests are always treated to fresh and delicious meals. While primarily used for non-packaged food, drop-in food wells can also accommodate pre-packaged products like canned drinks.
The drop-in design allows these units to fit seamlessly into a perfectly sized hole on your countertop. The components are located beneath the well and are concealed when installed. Depending on your menu and the number of people you serve daily, you can choose units with single or multiple compartments that fit standard sizes of food pans. With the use of adapter plates, they can also accommodate a wider range of pan sizes.
There are two types of drop-in food wells available: hot and cold. Both units are constructed with durable stainless steel and feature advanced features such as thermostatic controls for precise temperature control. At CKitchen, we offer a great selection of drop-in food wells that are sure to meet your needs.

For full-service setups, you can place the control box at the same height as the countertop or underneath in a secure cabinet.
Some units use infinite controls, allowing you to adjust temperatures in preprogrammed levels such as "low" and "high". Thermostatic controls offer even more precise temperature control, allowing you to change individual settings for each temperature. Digital controls offer the highest precision, allowing you to specify the temperature yourself and check it via the readout display.
A drop-in hot food well can hold products at 150 degrees Fahrenheit and can accommodate steam table pans. These units are ideal for keeping cooked dishes hot and fresh for extended periods, making them perfect for restaurants, cafes, canteens, and more. There are hot food wells specifically designed for soups, stews, and sauces, as well as rethermalizing units that help prepare chilled or frozen ingredients without thawing them first.
