The Hatco HDWTC Freestanding Warming Drawer is designed to keep a variety of prepared foods hot and ready to serve while helping preserve flavor, moisture, and texture. Built for professional foodservice operations, this unit features fully insulated individual drawer cavities and Hatco’s exclusive blanket heating element design to promote uniform temperatures throughout each cavity while improving energy efficiency.

The HDWTC features an angled, top-mounted touchscreen controller for improved visibility and convenient operation. Operators can set the holding temperature and timer independently for each drawer, with audible and visual alerts to indicate when the programmed holding time has elapsed. A built-in USB port allows easy software updates, while adjustable sliding vents on each drawer provide control over moisture levels to accommodate different food products.

Constructed with heavy-duty stainless steel inside and out, the HDWTC is designed for demanding commercial use. Its robust 12-gauge drawer frames and slides operate on Hatco-exclusive nylon rollers for smooth drawer movement. The seamless interior core simplifies cleaning, while removable side panels provide convenient access for cleaning and servicing. Each drawer frame accommodates different pan configurations, including 1/1 GN and 1/3 GN pans, with selected configurations supporting pans up to 6" (152 mm) deep. Pans lift straight up for easy removal without tilting.

The unit comes with adjustable plastic legs, providing a height range of 4" to 5.375" (102–137 mm), and a 6-foot power cord positioned at the upper rear corner. CE versions include an anti-tip bracket and hardware for added stability.
