Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner House Bistro in Cardiff needed to streamline their cramped kitchen. Service was bottlenecked because they lacked a dedicated plate warming area, forcing chefs to juggle hot appliances and  cold crockery.

"We stacked our new Silverlink 600 chargrill on top of the HC6, and  it immediately tidied up our main line. Having consistently warm plates right where we need them has made plating up so much quicker and  less stressful during a frantic Saturday night service."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The change resulted in a smoother workflow and  helped increase the number of covers they could handle during peak hours by an estimated 20%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Position the unit on a flat, stable surface before placing any equipment on top.
  • Use the adjustable feet at the base to ensure it's perfectly level and  doesn't wobble.
  • If pairing with a countertop unit, use the supplied fixing screws to attach it securely.
  • Simply plug it into a standard 13-amp socket – no complex installation required.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the stainless steel exterior and  interior daily with a soft, damp cloth and  mild detergent.
  • Remove the internal shelf periodically for a thorough clean.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • Regularly check that the thermostat dial is clean and  turns freely.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Pedestal & Hot Cupboard

Finding the right base for your kitchen? Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Check Compatibility

Make sure the pedestal is designed for your specific brand and  range, like this one is built perfectly for Lincat's Silverlink 600 electric units.

Measure Your Space

Consider the footprint. A 600mm deep unit like this is standard, ensuring it aligns with other professional equipment for a flush finish.

Control is Key

Decide if you need precise temperature management. Thermostatic control offers far more consistency than a simple on/off switch for plate warming.

Think About Access

In a tight kitchen, features like reversible doors can be a lifesaver, allowing you to adapt the unit to your specific workflow and  layout.

Storage Flexibility

An adjustable or removable internal shelf is a huge plus, letting you store everything from dinner plates to larger serving bowls with ease.

How Thermostatic Control Elevates Your Service

Ever wondered what 'thermostatic control' really means for a hot cupboard? Think of it like the central heating for your plates. Instead of a simple 'on' or 'off' switch that can either leave plates lukewarm or dangerously hot, a thermostat lets you set and  forget the perfect temperature. It constantly monitors the heat and  adjusts it to keep it steady. This means every single plate you pull out is consistently warm, keeping food at its ideal temperature for longer after it leaves the kitchen. It’s the secret to stopping dishes from going cold on the way to the table and  a small detail that makes a big difference to your customers' experience.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurant Kitchens

    Perfect for creating an efficient cooking station while ensuring plates are always ready for the pass.

  • Cafés and  Bistros

    An ideal way to support a griddle or bain marie and  maximise limited kitchen or counter space.

  • Event Caterers & Canteens

    Provides a robust, heated base for countertop serveries, keeping service flowing smoothly.

  • Fish & Chip Shops

    Excellent for supporting a countertop fryer while keeping wrapping paper or boxes warm below.
