APW / Wyott 22 Qt. Countertop Food Cooker & Warmer, 1500 Watt

The APW Wyott X*PERT™ 22 Qt Countertop Food Cooker & Warmer is a high-performance electric rethermalizer designed for heating and holding pre-cooked foods in commercial foodservice environments. With a full-size 22-quart capacity, this unit is ideal for soups, chili, sauces, and similar items that require controlled reheating from refrigerated or frozen states, followed by consistent hot holding during service.

Engineered for efficiency and reliability, the unit features a high-wattage serpentine (W-shaped) heating element that distributes heat evenly throughout the well. This design supports both rapid thawing and gentle warming, helping maintain food quality while preventing hot spots. The system operates in a wet configuration, using water to deliver uniform heat across the entire pan area, with a temperature range from 100°F to 212°F to accommodate a variety of applications.

The construction includes a heavy-duty stainless steel body and liner for durability, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning. A 1-inch layer of fiberglass insulation improves energy efficiency by retaining heat within the unit while protecting surrounding countertops from heat transfer. Steel element supports help stabilize the heating components and reflect heat upward into the well for more effective performance, while 1/2-inch rubber legs provide stability on countertops.

Thermostatic controls allow precise temperature adjustments, and built-in knob guards help prevent accidental changes during operation. Designed for use with full-size pans or adapter plates (sold separately), this unit offers flexibility for different serving configurations. Operating on 120V with a 1500-watt output, and certified to UL and CSA standards, it provides a dependable solution for buffets, serving lines, and back-of-house food holding where consistent heat and durability are essential.
