Cook, Chill and Reheat Unattended
The Thermodyne 1500DP and 700DP cook and chill cabinets manage the entire refrigerate-reheat-hold workflow automatically, transitioning from refrigerated holding through a programmed reheat cycle to serving temperature without requiring staff oversight. Operators can set distinct time-and-temperature programs for every meal period on every day of the week, and the same Precision Temperature Technology that defines our holding equipment delivers even reheating through shelf-level conduction rather than fan-driven air.
The 1500DP and 700DP manage the entire cook-chill workflow automatically, transitioning from refrigerated holding through the programmed reheat cycle to serving temperature without requiring staff oversight, a direct labor reduction for operations with lean staffing or extended service windows.
Operators set distinct time-and-temperature programs for each meal period on each day of the week, eliminating manual intervention at every service transition, particularly valuable for healthcare, institutional, and multi-daypart operations.
By combining refrigerated holding and reheating in one cabinet, the DP series eliminates the need for separate blast chiller, retherm, and holding equipment for applicable menu programs, reducing equipment investment and footprint.
Heat transfer fluid circulates through each individual shelf for both the refrigerated staging phase and the programmed reheat cycle, delivering shelf-level precision throughout, not available on competitor cook-chill equipment.
We're glad to demo the 1500DP or 700DP at our test kitchen or at your facility. Program a full-service schedule and see the workflow run unattended before you commit.
Our DP series automates a workflow that otherwise depends on staff attention and separate pieces of equipment. Here is what sets it apart.
The same conduction platform that defines our holding equipment is extended to full cook-chill automation. Reheating happens through the shelf surface rather than a fan-driven system, so product temperature increases evenly across all pans simultaneously, without surface drying or moisture loss.
A 36°F to 230°F range means the same unit that refrigerates prepared food during off-peak hours brings it through a programmed cook or reheat cycle and holds it at serving temperature, without product transfer or additional equipment, reducing handling labor and the risk of temperature abuse during transitions.
Thermodyne backs every DP series unit with a 100% money-back guarantee. If our equipment does not improve your cook-chill workflow, we'll take it back, no questions asked. Contact our team for full guarantee details.
Custom weekly scheduling automates transitions across every meal period, reducing manual intervention in environments where staffing is already stretched.
The 1500DP handles high-volume production for multi-site distribution, consolidating refrigeration, reheat, and holding into a single cabinet.
Automated cycles run unattended across every facility, standardizing the cook-chill workflow without relying on a dedicated attendant at each site.
Both DP series sizes apply the same Precision Temperature Technology to full cook-chill automation. Choose the capacity that fits your production volume.
