Looking for a commercial pie warmer? Choose a much more convenient solution!

3 minutes

Is there anything better than enjoying a freshly baked meat pie? We think not, and as everyone knows, it’s most important that the pie is delicious and warm at any time of the day! Establishments like bakeries, cafes, stadiums and takeaways understand this sentiment all too well. They recognize the importance of not only serving customers with fresh, warm products but also showcasing them attractively on the countertop, ready to tantalize taste buds. Hence, the beloved pie warmer comes into play. But how exactly does a commercial pie warmer work? Does a pie warmer cook or just reheat pies and how long can it preserve them?

Alright, let's break it down. Pie warmers are heated cabinets designed to keep meat pies and a whole range of other goodies, from sausage rolls to croissants, at an optimal warm temperature, ready for serving. These units typically feature adjustable heat control and built-in water pans, but here's the catch - they're not for baking or reheating pies, only for keeping them warm and toasty until they hit the plate.

Usually, pies are baked in small convection ovens, then transferred to the commercial pie warmer where they can stay for up to two hours maximum before being served to customers. And there lies the catch!

Due to this time limit, many pies often end up wasted, discarded into bins. Towards the end of the day, businesses face the dilemma of either baking more pies, risking further wastage, or refraining from baking, potentially disappointing customers.

So, how can these issues be addressed in the most effective way? By choosing a much more convenient solution and therefore method through the use of a commercial speed oven!

Speed ovens can be a better alternative to commercial pie warmers.

How can a commercial speed oven help you overcome the limits of a pie warmer? By using a commercial speed oven, you can rapidly reheat pies whenever an order comes in. Thanks to the effectiveness of microwaves, you can reheat a pie in less than two minutes! No more worrying about losing that fresh-baked flavour or wasting pies, you can keep your pies in a cold display, and only heat them to order!
