CookTek® SinAqua™ Induction Waterless Food Holding Well CookTek’s SinAqua™ food well eliminates the need for steam without compromising food quality. No more plumbing and drainage hassles - no mess, no leaks, no spills and no potential waterborne health risks. Clean-up at the end of service is much simpler and uses less labor time. SinAqua™ improves food quality and reduces food waste. By their nature, steam tables continue to cook food rather than holding it at the perfect temperature. SinAqua™ maintains holding temperatures accurately and constantly, avoiding excessive temperature cycling, too, which can “fatigue” hot food. SinAqua™ is induction powered, so it is inherently very energy efficient. In comparative tests, SinAqua™ saves over 50% in energy costs compared to a traditional steam table. SinAqua™ was designed to accommodate Gastormorm/hotel pans. These should be used for optimum performance. SinAqua™ system works with standard pans, including most 18/8 (300 series) stainless food pans. (The stamping process during manufacture makes the pans magnetic enough to be heated by induction.) SinAqua™ can be used in combination with top heat, where sufficient stirring my be a concern. However, the top heat should be kept as low as possible in order to not dry out the food, and in order to maintain energy savings. The induction well should be allowed to do most of the work. The top heat should be just enough to offset radiant losses from the very surface of the food. SinAqua™ units are available in either 4” (100mm) deep or 2.5” (65mm) deep. Both depths are available in either 120VAC or 200-240VAC. CookTek® SinAqua™ Induction Waterless Food Holding Well Spring-loaded sealed temperature sensor ensures pan contact temperature measurement.

CookTek® Induction Soup Well To complete the line, CookTek offers a round induction Soup Well. Using the same technology as the SinAqua™, the Soup Well is designed to bring soup from a chilled state (below 35oF / 1.7oC) through the HACCP danger zone to 165oF / 73.9oC in under 90 minutes. Once at the desired temperature, the Soup Well will maintain a consistent, even heat without scorching delicate soups. Unlike the rectangular SinAqua™ units, there is a small amount of water involved with the Soup Well. This gentle water bath is contained in an insert, and helps distribute heat evenly...
