Why this hot cupboard earns its place
The Glide Dry Heat Bain Marie is three pieces of kit rolled into one portable unit. At its base is a stainless steel hot cupboard with fan-assisted heating that keeps food at consistent temperature no matter how often the removable sliding doors are opened during service—that fan distribution is crucial when you're pulling plates or trays repeatedly. Above the cupboard sits a bain-marie with toughened glass that holds full gastronorm 1/1 trays at perfect holding temperature, accessible from the front during service. At the top, an overhead heated gantry adds a third holding zone and includes a curved glass sneeze screen for hygiene—useful whether you're doing self-service or assisted service.
The footprint is 900mm high, 1175mm deep, and 700mm wide in stainless steel, built to sit in a service area, dining hall, or assisted-living kitchen where food needs to hold hot and accessible for extended service. Removable sliding doors on the cupboard section mean easy access to plated meals or full-size trays, and the drop-down tray slides make it perfect for self-service lines where residents or customers serve themselves. Castors on the base mean you can reposition the Glide throughout service or roll it back between seatings—handy in kitchens where space is tight or multiple service zones exist.
The CED brand name reflects engineering built for hospitality, healthcare, and education—environments where reliable hot holding is non-negotiable and equipment gets moved, cleaned, and reused day after day. The 1-year parts and labour warranty covers the investment for a unit designed to work hard in professional kitchens.
