Expert Review and  Insights

Lincat has a reputation for building gear that just doesn't quit, and  this Panther 670 series hot cupboard is no exception. The fan-assisted heating is the standout feature, moving beyond basic static units to provide really uniform warmth. It's a solid, no-nonsense piece of kit that does its job exceptionally well, day in and  day out.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The fan system is brilliant; it genuinely eliminates cold spots entirely.
  • Con: It’s a hefty unit at over 100kg, so definitely a two-person job to position.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Old Boathouse, a popular riverside pub in Chester, Cheshire, needed to upgrade its hot holding to cope with its legendary Sunday carvery service. Their previous static cupboard was causing inconsistencies, with some items drying out.

"The difference is night and  day. The Lincat holds everything at a perfect, even temperature. Our roast potatoes are still crispy and  the veg is perfectly hot an hour into service. It’s made our busiest day so much smoother."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

Since installation, the pub has noted a significant reduction in food waste during its carvery service, estimated at around 15%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the unit on a flat, level surface to ensure the doors slide smoothly.
  • Leave a small gap around the unit for air circulation to prevent overheating.
  • Simply plug it into a standard 13 amp socket – no specialist wiring needed.
  • Before first use, run it empty at a medium temperature for 30 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the interior and  exterior surfaces daily with a soft cloth and  mild detergent.
  • For a deep clean, the doors and  shelves can be easily removed.
  • Regularly check that the sliding door runners are free from debris for smooth operation.
  • Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, which can damage the stainless steel finish.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Hot Cupboard

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few key things to consider when picking the perfect hot holding unit for your business.

Capacity & Size

Consider how many covers you do during your busiest period. This unit's 8 x GN 1/1 capacity is ideal for medium to large operations.

Heating Type

Fan-assisted models like this one provide the most even heat, crucial for delicate foods. Static heat is simpler but can create hot spots.

Door Style

Sliding doors are fantastic space-savers in tight kitchen corridors, whereas hinged doors offer wider access.

Power Supply

Always check if a unit is 'plug and  play' (like this 13A model) or requires hardwiring by an electrician, which adds to installation costs.

Top Type

A plain top provides valuable extra counter space. Other models might feature a bain marie or gantry top for specific service needs.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for features like removable shelves and  doors. They make a huge difference to daily cleaning routines and  hygiene standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I put food directly onto the shelves?

A: It's designed to hold plates and  Gastronorm pans. For hygiene and  best results, food should always be held in suitable containers, not placed directly on the wire shelves.

Q: How long does it take to heat up?

A: Heat-up times vary depending on the ambient temperature, but you can typically expect it to reach its operating temperature in around 20-25 minutes.

Q: Is it easy to move for cleaning?

A: This is a static unit. While it's not designed for daily movement, its slim depth makes positioning it during installation straightforward.

Q: What does 'double skinned' mean?

A: It means the doors and  walls have an inner and  outer layer with insulation in between. This drastically improves heat retention, making it more energy-efficient.

Q: Can this be used for proofing dough?

A: While it can hold a low temperature, its main function is hot holding. Dedicated proofers offer more precise humidity and  temperature control for baking.

Q: Does the plain top get hot?

A: The top surface will become warm but is not designed as a primary heating surface. It's suitable for light plating or temporary storage of non-chilled items.

Q: What is a GN 1/1 container?

A: It's a standard-size food pan used in professional kitchens, measuring 530 x 325mm. This cupboard's capacity is based on this universal measurement.

Q: Is the temperature display in Celsius or Fahrenheit?

A: The digital controller is set to display the temperature in Celsius, in line with UK commercial kitchen standards.

What Does 'Fan Assisted' Really Mean for Your Food?

Ever notice how in a basic hot cupboard, some plates are scorching while others are lukewarm? That's often down to static heat, which rises and  creates inconsistent hot and  cold spots. This Lincat hot cupboard with plain top uses a fan-assisted system to solve that problem completely. Think of it like the difference between a simple radiator and  full central heating in your home; the fan gently circulates the warm air around the entire cabinet.

This constant circulation ensures every single shelf and  every corner maintains the exact same temperature you set on the digital display. The result? No more dried-out edges on your Yorkshire puddings or lukewarm centres in your lasagne. Everything is held in perfect condition, which means less waste, better quality, and  happier customers.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs

    An essential unit for holding plated meals or acting as a commercial plate warmer before service.

  • Event Caterers & Function Halls

    Reliably keeps large batches of food at safe, consistent temperatures for buffets and  banquets.

  • Schools & Care Homes

    A robust solution for keeping bulk meals perfectly warm and  ready for canteen-style service.

    Ensures consistent food quality from the first guest to the very last, reducing waste.
