Description

Carter-Hoffmann CH1600U Slow Cook & Hold Cabinet

16-Pan | 240 lb Meat Capacity | Electric, 240 V

Unlock higher yields, juicier roasts, and effortless overnight cooking with the CH1600U. Carter-Hoffmann’s precision engineered cook & hold cabinet gently caramelizes proteins, then switches to a holding mode that keeps food service-ready for hours—no ventilation hood required*.

Key advantages

  • Holds up to 16 full-size 12 × 20 × 2.5" pans (or 18" × 26" sheet pans on optional wire shelves).
  • 240 lb approximate meat capacity across dual cavities for high-volume production.
  • User-friendly digital controls—cook by time or internal product temperature with the included meat probe.
  • Automatic transition from cook to hold; 18-hour countdown timer then count-up hold timer.
  • Gentle, forced-air convection with side air ducts delivers ±5 °F temperature consistency top to bottom.
  • Low-temperature cooking range 100 °F-325 °F (38 °C-161 °C) eliminates the need for a hood in most jurisdictions*.
  • All-welded stainless steel interior & exterior with wrap-around 2" insulation for superior durability and energy efficiency.
  • (4) 5" heavy-duty casters—front two locking—for easy mobility during cleaning or service layout changes.
  • Certified NSF, cULus & CE for safety and sanitation worldwide.

Designed for performance

  • Caramelization is key—consistent blower heat seals in juices for minimal shrinkage and more portions.
  • Fast preheat—reaches 160 °F (71 °C) in about 25 minutes.
  • Universal slide racks on 2.75" centers accept GN 1/1 & 2/1 pans without extra hardware.
  • Field-reversible, insulated doors with heavy-duty latch and magnetic catch reduce heat loss.
