Product Description
Overview
The Carter-Hoffmann CW1 Bulk Nacho Chip Warmer is a purpose-built solution for busy concession stands, quick-serve restaurants, and any new restaurant focused on speed to service. Designed to hold approximately 20 gallons of chips in a top-loading, gravity-feed bin, the CW1 uses a forced-air heating system and inconel-sheathed heating element to maintain chip temperature and crispness without drying or burning. As part of your kitchen buildout, the CW1 is a compact, dependable unit that helps you reduce food waste and speed service — critical advantages when you're racing to open and start earning revenue.
