Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Top-Notch Performance: The fan-assisted cupboard heats up rapidly and  holds temperature brilliantly across the whole cabinet.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A bustling conference centre in Glasgow needed to upgrade their catering facilities, moving away from separate, mismatched holding units to streamline their busy buffet service for up to 500 delegates.

"We needed a single, reliable unit that could handle both wet dishes like stews and  keep hundreds of plates properly warm. The Lincat Panther 670 hot cupboard bain marie has been absolutely faultless since day one. It’s simplified our entire workflow."

David Chen – Head of Catering

The new setup allowed them to serve delegates 30% faster during peak lunch service, dramatically reducing queues and  improving overall food quality and  temperature consistency.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • This unit requires a 4.9 kW single-phase connection and  must be installed by a qualified electrician.
  • Ensure it's placed on a firm, level surface, leaving a small gap around the sides for air circulation.
  • Before first use, wipe down the interior and  shelves to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • If using wet heat, always fill the bain marie well with water *before* switching the power on.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  a food-safe cleaner.
  • Use the internal drain tap to empty the bain marie after every service, then clean the well to prevent limescale.
  • The removable doors and  shelves make deep cleaning the interior quick and  easy – do this regularly.
  • Periodically check that the fan is operating smoothly and  that the air vents are not blocked.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Hot Holding Unit

Not sure which hot holding solution is right for your kitchen? Here are a few key things to consider before you buy.

Capacity is Key

Think about your busiest service. Do you need to hold 4, 6, or even 8 full Gastronorm pans at once? Plan for your peak demand.

Wet Heat or Dry Heat?

A versatile unit like this offers both. Dry heat is great for fried foods, while a wet heat bain marie is essential for curries, gravy, and  sauces.

Footprint & Access

Always measure your doorways! A unit from the Panther 670 series is specifically designed with a 670mm depth to fit through narrow gaps.

Check Your Power

Units this powerful often need a dedicated, hardwired connection. Confirm your kitchen’s electrical setup with an electrician first.

Think About Cleaning

Look for features like internal drain taps and  removable shelves. They might seem small, but they will save your team hours in the long run.

What Does 'Fan-Assisted' Really Mean for Your Kitchen?

Ever used a hot cupboard where plates at the back are scorching hot but the ones near the door are lukewarm? That’s what a fan-assisted system eliminates. Think of it like the difference between a simple radiator and  full central heating. Without a fan, heat rises and  can get trapped, creating inconsistent 'hot spots'. The fan in the Lincat P6B4 actively circulates the warm air around the entire cabinet, just like a convection oven. This ensures every single plate and  dish, from the top shelf to the bottom, front to back, is held at the exact same, even temperature. It’s a simple feature that makes a massive difference to food quality and  safety.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Hotel Buffets & Carveries: An essential for breakfast service or Sunday roasts, holding everything from sausages to veg.
  • School & University Canteens: Perfect for keeping large batches of lunches, like curry or pasta, at safe serving temperatures.
  • Event & Contract Caterers: Its robust build and  reliability make it ideal for serving guests at weddings and  functions.
  • Large Staff Canteens: An brilliant solution for serving hundreds of employees efficiently during a busy lunch rush.
