The Vollrath Cayenne® 72028 Twin 7 qt countertop warmer is designed for holding and rethermalizing two separate food products at safe serving temperatures. Each 7-quart well operates independently with its own temperature control, allowing flexible operation for multiple menu items such as soups, sauces, and prepared foods.
This unit uses a direct-contact heating system for efficient heat transfer, helping bring refrigerated food through the HACCP danger zone quickly and maintain consistent serving temperatures. Thermoset fiber-reinforced wells provide excellent insulation, reduce heat loss, and resist scale buildup for easier maintenance and longer service life.
Built with a durable stainless steel exterior, the unit is designed for commercial foodservice environments where reliability and consistent performance are essential. Knob guards help protect controls from accidental changes, while front-access dials allow easy temperature adjustment. The design supports wet-operation efficiency, improving moisture retention and food quality during extended holding periods.
The Vollrath 72028 Cayenne Twin 7-Quart Countertop Warmer is a commercial-grade rethermalizer designed to heat and hold two separate food products simultaneously at safe serving temperatures. Each 7-quart well operates independently, making the unit well suited for buffets, catering stations, serving lines, and back-of-house applications where multiple hot items such as soups, sauces, or stews need to be managed with separate temperature control.
This model is engineered for rethermalization, meaning it is designed to bring pre-cooked, chilled foods up through the food safety “danger zone” and into hot holding temperatures efficiently. Each well is equipped with a dedicated 700-watt heating element and individual controls, allowing operators to manage each side independently based on product needs. A built-in timer function supports a preheat cycle, running the unit at a high setting before transitioning to a controlled holding temperature once the cycle completes.
The construction uses Vollrath’s thermoset fiber-reinforced resin wells, which are self-insulating, corrosion-resistant, and designed to prevent scale buildup for easier maintenance. A direct contact heating system places the heating element in direct contact with the water, improving heat transfer efficiency and reducing energy loss. The cast-in dome heating elements are designed to reduce energy usage while improving durability and minimizing buildup over time. A wide dripless lip helps keep the countertop clean by directing moisture back into the wells.
For control and usability, each well features front-mounted thermostatic dials protected by knob guards to prevent accidental adjustment during service. The stainless steel exterior is built to meet UL surface temperature safety standards, helping keep external surfaces cooler while concentrating heat inside the wells. With a 120V, 11.7-amp power requirement and standard NEMA 5-15P plug, the unit is easy to install in most commercial kitchen environments. Certified to NSF and UL standards and made in the USA, it provides a durable and efficient solution for dual-product hot food holding and rethermalizing applications.
