Metro C5 Cabinets

Choosing the right cabinet can be a daunting task. With so many options to choose from, it can be tough to know which one is the right fit for your unique needs and requirements. But that's where we come in. In this post, we'll break down the different types of Metro C5 cabinets and help you understand the key features and benefits of each. 

But selecting your Metro cabinet also comes down to your budget—and no matter how much you can afford to spend, there’s a cabinet for your restaurant. Each category of cabinet—heated holding, moisture holding, proofing, and transport—has an array of options to choose from, each with its own unique features and price point. 

For example, if you're looking for a heated holding cabinet, you can choose from a range of sizes, from compact models to larger units, with prices starting at just a few hundred dollars. Similarly, if you need a moisture-holding cabinet, there are options available to fit any budget, with prices ranging from budget-friendly models to more high-end units with advanced features. 

Whether you're a small eatery with a tight budget or an established restaurant looking for top-of-the-line equipment, there's a Metro C5 cabinet that can meet your needs without breaking the bank.

 

Heated Holding Cabinets

Heated holding cabinets keep hot food items at a safe and consistent temperature until they're ready to be served. These cabinets are ideal for busy kitchens that need to hold large quantities of cooked food items for an extended period of time. Heated holding cabinets come in various sizes and configurations, and some models feature adjustable thermostats, humidity controls, and built-in timers to help ensure precise temperature and moisture control.

Moisture Holding Cabinets

Moisture-holding cabinets ensure food items remain moist and fresh while they're being stored or transported. These cabinets are ideal for storing bread, pastries, and other baked goods, as well as for holding and transporting food items that are prone to drying out. Considering the different needs of one restaurant to the next, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to these cabinets. For example, some models feature humidity controls and temperature displays to help ensure optimal conditions for food storage.

Proofing Cabinets

Proofing cabinets create a warm and humid environment for bread and other baked goods to rise before baking. These cabinets are essential for bakeries and other food service operations that require large quantities of fresh-baked bread on a daily basis. As with the other products we’ve mentioned, proofing cabinets come in various sizes depending on your situation. Specifically, some models come equipped with adjustable temperature and humidity controls to help ensure consistent and precise proofing.
