WQHC – Hot/Cold Pan
(3” Recessed Top; Dual Temp, Hot or Cold Service)
Say hello to the VariTemp hot/cold unit. It’s our first drop-in unit that lets you easily switch the temperature of each individual well. Create any combination of hot and cold offerings and then change it up with the flip of a switch. Turning each well from hot to cold, or vice versa, takes just 55 minutes or less, and provides countless serving possibilities for you and your guests.
Available in all Atlas carts, VariTemp uses just one compressor and vents hot air on the side, preventing disruption to customers and staff. This unit’s seamless functionality is further bolstered by pre-installed gaskets and an Atlas-exclusive top frame that keeps all edges below the counter.
