Warming ovens, or holding cabinets, are found in most professional restaurant kitchens. This type of commercial food warmer equipment plays an integral role in keeping extra food products warm until it’s ready to be moved to a steam table or a customer’s plate.

Most traditional steamers are required to be under a hood; at least a condensate hood. They also typically require a water line and a drain. There are also very few exceptions to the requirement of a water filtration system. Today there is microwave technology for steaming that doesn’t require any of the above.
