Why this food warming drawer earns its place
The Hatco HDW-2 is built for kitchens that need to hold several different dishes hot at once — ratatouille at a different temperature from the sauce, meat ready while vegetables finish. Each drawer runs independently, so you're not forced to choose one temperature for everything. Both drawers fit a full Gastronorm pan, which means real volume: roasted veg, braises, pies, anything that goes in a standard hotel pan stays hot without drying out.
Heavy-duty construction is Hatco's calling card. The stainless steel is built to take daily service in a working kitchen. At 76 kg, it's a solid piece — not something you'll casually move around, but that weight means the thermostat's accurate and the heating stays even. The 900 W draw is efficient for the capacity, so it won't add much to your energy bill.
The unit sits at a natural working height — 639mm tall — so it fits under the pass or on a prep counter without awkward reaching. A two-year parts-and-labour warranty covers the electronic controls and heating element; Hatco units are reliable, but if something fails, the repair is covered.
