Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Sunday Roast, a popular carvery in Bristol, needed to improve their food presentation to match the quality of their cooking. Their old heat lamps created hotspots and cast a dull, yellow light over the food.
"The difference was immediate. The Inomak's halogen lights make the food look incredible – the crackling looks crispier, the veg looks vibrant. Customers genuinely eat with their eyes first, and we saw a definite uplift in carvery sales right away."
David Williams – General Manager
After installing the Inomak XWH19, the carvery reported a 20% increase in Sunday carvery sales within the first month, attributing it directly to improved presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always ensure the unit is installed by a qualified professional for safety.
- Check that your gantry or counter is level and can support the unit's weight.
- Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit and it is not placed near flammable materials.
- Before first use, wipe down all surfaces with a food-safe sanitiser.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft, damp cloth.
- Allow the unit to cool completely before attempting to clean the lamps or interior.
- For stubborn marks on the steel, use a recommended stainless steel cleaner, always wiping with the grain.
- When replacing a halogen bulb, ensure the power is disconnected and use a cloth to handle the new bulb to avoid transferring oils from your skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this unit be used to cook food from raw?
A: No, this is a hot food holding cabinet designed to keep pre-cooked food at a safe and ready-to-serve temperature. It is not an oven.
Q: How do you replace the halogen bulbs?
A: First, ensure the unit is turned off and completely cool. The bulbs can then be carefully unscrewed and replaced. Always use a cloth to handle new bulbs to prevent oil transfer.
Q: Is this unit suitable for moist foods like curry?
A: This unit provides dry, radiant heat, which is best for fried foods, pastries, and roasted items. For wet dishes, a bain-marie is a more suitable option.
Q: What is the main benefit of AISI 304 stainless steel?
A: AISI 304 is a high-quality, food-grade stainless steel known for its excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it durable and easy to keep hygienic.
Q: Can I place this directly on a wooden countertop?
A: It is designed for mounting on a gantry or heat-resistant commercial counter. We recommend checking the manufacturer's guidelines for specific surface requirements.
Q: How easy is it to clean?
A: Very easy. The stainless steel surfaces can be wiped down with a damp cloth and a food-safe cleaner once the unit has cooled down.
Q: Does it come with the gantry or hot cupboard shown in some pictures?
A: This product is the heated lamp box only. It is designed to be fitted to compatible Inomak gantries, hot cupboards, and bain-maries, which are sold separately.
Q: What does 'flat-box packaging' mean?
A: It means the unit is supplied in a compact, flat package for easier and safer transportation. Some minor assembly may be required upon delivery.
The Inomak Philosophy: Strength and Simplicity
When you choose Inomak, you're investing in more than just a piece of equipment; you're investing in a philosophy of robust, no-nonsense engineering. For decades, Inomak has built a reputation across Europe for creating catering equipment that simply works, day in, day out. The XWH19 is a perfect example of this. There are no overly complex digital displays or delicate parts prone to failure. Instead, you get high-grade stainless steel, reliable components, and a design focused entirely on performance and longevity. This approach means less time spent on maintenance, fewer breakdowns during a frantic service, and a lower total cost of ownership over the unit's lifespan. In a demanding commercial kitchen, that reliability isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of a smooth operation.
Explore more from InomakWhy Halogen Heating Makes Your Food Shine
Ever wondered what makes a halogen heated display different? Think of it like a theatre spotlight versus a standard light bulb. A regular heating element just provides warmth, which is great, but it doesn't do much for presentation. Halogen lamps, on the other hand, do two jobs at once: they produce instant, powerful radiant heat to keep food perfectly warm, and they emit a bright, crisp white light.
This combination is crucial in a food service environment. The bright light enhances the natural colours of your food, making golden-brown pies look richer and fresh vegetables more vibrant. It's the difference between a dish that just looks 'warm' and one that looks freshly-cooked, appetising, and utterly irresistible. The Inomak XWH19 uses this technology to ensure your food's first impression is always its best.
Who Should Buy This?
- Carveries & Pubs: Ideal for keeping joints of meat, potatoes, and vegetables perfectly lit and warm on the pass.
- Busy Takeaways: Keeps popular items like fried chicken, pies, or chips ready for rapid service during peak hours.
- Hotel Buffets: Ensures breakfast items or evening dinner options are held at a safe, appealing temperature for guests.
- Event Caterers: A portable and effective solution for setting up impressive hot food stations at any venue.
