A food heat lamp can be used in a wide range of applications, from carving stations to buffet lines. Free standing units are perfect for catering operations, as you can easily transport them from place to place, while lighted display stations let you hold warm bags of French fries and other sides at concession stands and carnivals. Note Long-term holding. They emit a dry heat that can rob your products of the desired taste and texture if left under them for too long. Really dense foods like a casserole or a pan full of mashed potatoes. The heat can't penetrate deep enough to effectively maintain safe temperatures. Item Number 239307
