The Vollrath Cayenne 7 qt. Colonial Kettle rethermalizer adds rethermalizing capability to the Colonial Kettle format — 1000W versus the 700W warmer, providing the additional power needed to bring chilled soup from refrigerated temperature to safe serving temperature, not just hold it. Same traditional kettle presentation and complete accessory package (inset, hinged cover, soup cards, soup'r clip) as the warmer version.
1000W, 120V, 8.3 amps. ETL, UL, NSF. Made in USA.


The distinction between the Colonial Kettle warmer and rethermalizer is the distinction between holding and heating: the 700W warmer maintains a product that has already been brought to temperature, while the 1000W rethermalizer has the power to bring a chilled product from refrigerated temperature up to safe serving temperature before the service period begins — and then hold it through service.
For operations that receive pre-made soups from a commissary, finish soups from refrigerated storage, or need to bring batch-prepped soup up to temperature each morning without using the main kitchen equipment, the rethermalizer configuration provides that capability in the same Colonial Kettle merchandising format as the warmer. The visual presentation to guests is identical; the operational difference is in what the unit does before service opens.
At 1000W, the Colonial Kettle rethermalizer delivers meaningful additional heating power over the 700W warmer — 43% more wattage that translates to faster temperature rise from a cold start. For a typical refrigerated soup starting at 34–38°F, the 1000W output can bring 7 quarts to serving temperature in a practical pre-service timeframe without requiring the soup to be pre-heated in a separate appliance before loading into the kettle.
Once the soup reaches serving temperature, the thermostat transitions the unit to holding mode, maintaining the temperature through the service period. Recessed controls prevent accidental adjustment during the customer interaction with the kettle display. Same black epoxy-coated cast aluminum body, same soup cards and soup'r clip, same hinged lid as the warmer version.
