Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Hungry Hiker's Café in Keswick needed to replace their old, inefficient pie cabinet that was drying out their bestselling steak bakes. They wanted a reliable, countertop unit that would improve food quality and  reduce waste.

"The Modena is fantastic. Our pies stay moist and  flaky for hours, just as they should. We're no longer throwing stock away at the end of the day, and  customers have noticed the difference in quality."

Michael Edwards – Owner

The café reduced its daily hot food waste by over 90% and  increased pie sales by a quarter within the first month.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable countertop near a standard 13 amp socket.
  • Ensure there's a little space around the unit for ventilation.
  • Give it a quick wipe-down inside and  out with a food-safe cleaner.
  • Half-fill the water pan at the bottom before switching it on.
  • Allow it to pre-heat for 15-20 minutes before loading with food.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the interior and  glass doors daily to maintain hygiene.
  • Remove and  wash the shelves regularly in warm, soapy water.
  • Empty, clean, and  dry the water pan at the end of each day.
  • Regularly check the plug and  power cord for any signs of damage.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Hot Food Display

Not sure what fits your business best? Here are a few things to consider when choosing a commercial pie display unit.

Size and  Capacity

How many items do you sell daily? Choose a size that meets peak demand without taking up too much precious counter space.

Temperature Control

An adjustable thermostat is essential for holding different foods safely. Check the range suits your menu, from pies to pasties.

Humidity vs. Dry Heat

For pastry, bread, or pies, a model with a water pan (like this one) is essential to prevent food from drying out and  going to waste.

Visibility and  Lighting

Good internal lighting and  clear glass don't just display food, they actively help to sell it by making your products look their best.

Ease of Cleaning

Look for removable shelves and  stainless steel surfaces. A clean unit is a safe unit, and  simple cleaning saves valuable staff time.

Power Supply

Does it use a standard 13 amp plug or need hardwiring? A plug-and-play model like this offers brilliant flexibility and  easy setup.

Why the Humidity Pan is Your Pastry's Best Friend

Ever wondered why some heated displays leave pastry hard and  brittle? It's because constant dry heat sucks all the moisture out. The Modena MPW1 cleverly solves this with its simple water pan at the bottom. By adding a small amount of water, the cabinet's warmth creates a gentle, humid atmosphere.

Think of it like the difference between a dry sauna and  a steam room. The steam room keeps your skin from drying out, and  this water pan does the same for your food. It ensures your pie crusts stay flaky, your pastry stays tender, and  your sausage rolls remain deliciously moist for hours, tasting as good as they did when they first came out of the oven.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Local Cafés & Coffee Shops: Perfect for adding a hot, savoury lunch option alongside your cakes and  coffees.
  • Village Shops & Convenience Stores: A great grab-and-go solution to attract builders and  office workers on their lunch break.
  • Sports Club Bars & Canteens: Keep pies perfectly warm for hungry fans at half-time, boosting your sales effortlessly.
  • Workplace Canteens & Staff Rooms: Offer a simple, hot meal option that's easy to manage and  always popular with the team.
