🔹 Condition Used – Flawless Condition – Fully Tested & Operational This FWE LCH-18 commercial cook-and-hold cabinet has been professionally inspected and tested to confirm proper heating, holding, controls, and overall operation. The heavy-duty stainless steel exterior and interior are in good commercial condition with normal cosmetic scratches, scuffs, and signs of prior institutional or restaurant use. The control panel, insulated cabinet, tray slides, internal racks, door system, heating components, and mobile caster base are present and ready for continued commercial service. 🔹 Description The FWE LCH-18 is a full-height commercial low-temperature cook-and-hold oven designed for restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities, banquet operations, commissaries, correctional kitchens, catering operations, and other high-volume foodservice environments. Its low-temperature convection system uses gentle air circulation to cook foods evenly while minimizing moisture loss and product shrinkage. Once the cooking cycle is complete, the cabinet automatically transitions into holding mode to maintain food at a safe serving temperature without overcooking. The LCH-18 is designed for overnight cooking, bulk protein preparation, banquet production, reheating, and hot holding, making it especially useful for operations that need consistent results with reduced labor. FWE specifies automatic cook-to-hold operation, programmable recipes, an internal product probe, and low-volume forced air circulation.
