A countertop soup station: three round 7 litre stainless pots with lids, sitting in a shared water bath heated by a 1200 W element. One dial holds all three between 30 and 85 °C, a drain tap empties the bath, and two extra-long ladles come in the box. It is 850 mm wide and weighs 12.45 kg.

Set it on a level bench, fill the bath to the marks inside, drop the pots in and turn the dial. Let it come up to temperature before adding hot soup. Top the bath up with warm water while it is running.
A soup station that keeps three pots at serving temperature all day on a bench the width of a doormat.
Soup is the easiest thing on a menu to make and the hardest to hold. Too hot and it reduces and catches; too cool and it is not safe. A water bath solves both. The 1200 W element heats the water, the water heats the three pots evenly from the sides and the base, and the dial holds the lot anywhere from 30 to 85 °C. Lids keep the steam in so the soup does not skin over between customers.
Each pot is 7 litres, round, and stainless with a 0.7 mm wall. The bath has water-level marks inside and a drain tap, so topping up and draining are done without lifting anything. A cut-out stops the element if the bath runs dry, and a reset button starts it again.
What this usually leaves the warehouse with.

The pots never touch the element. They sit in water, and the water is what the dial controls, so a soup put in at serving temperature stays there without reducing or catching on the bottom. At the top of the range, 85 °C, it is well above the safe holding line and still below a simmer.

Round pots with a 0.7 mm stainless wall and their own lids. They lift out, wash, and drop back into the same holes. The two ladles in the box have extra-long handles to reach the bottom of a 7 litre pot without your knuckles going in.

Water-level marks inside the bath show when to top up, and the drain tap empties the whole bath into a bucket at close without tipping the unit. If the bath does run dry mid-shift, the cut-out stops the element before it is damaged; refill with warm water, press reset, and carry on.
Serve sizes assume a 300 ml cafe cup.
Two and three pot versions are listed. The three pot unit is in stock; the two pot unit is back soon.

Ready to use out of the box.
It will, but slowly, and it is not what it is for. Bring soup to temperature on the stove, then transfer it to the pot. The warmer's job is to hold it there for the rest of service without further cooking.
No. All three sit in one water bath with one dial. If you need different holding temperatures for different dishes, use the six-pan bain marie alongside it.
A cut-out stops the element when the bath passes 120 °C. Refill with warm water, press the reset button, and it restarts. Keep an eye on the water-level marks inside during a long service.
Yes. Anything that needs holding warm without a direct flame works: gravy, cheese sauce, mulled wine, melted chocolate for a dessert station. Use the lids for anything that skins.
Drain the bath from the tap once it has cooled, wipe the well out, and wash the pots, lids and ladles. Descale the bath occasionally if your water is hard.
