CookRite Dry Hot Food Display 2030 MM CRD 12 CRD-12

The CookRite CRD-12 is a 2065 mm square-glass dry hot food display — heat without water, so pastry, pies and crumbed product stay crisp rather than going soft. A digital thermostat holds the setting and a sliding door keeps service on the staff side.

Why operators choose the CRD-12

• Dry heat, not a water bath — keeps pastry, pies and crumbed product crisp — the reason to choose a dry display over a wet one
• 304 stainless steel heater element — the dry model's element is specified in stainless rather than a coated part
• Digital thermostat — holds the setting precisely instead of drifting across a long service
• Sliding door — staff serve and restock from behind without reaching across the customer-facing glass
• Square glass display — a straight-sided profile that lines up flush along a counter run
• 2065 mm counter footprint — a defined width to plan the servery around
• 240 V plug-in operation — connects to a standard outlet, so no dedicated circuit is needed

Specifications

Venue suitability

Dry hot displays suit anything that must not go soggy — pies, sausage rolls, pastries, crumbed and fried product — which puts them on the counter in bakeries, cafes, service stations, takeaway shops and club kiosks. At 2065 mm the CRD-12 sets the servery length, so plan the counter run around it. If your menu is wet-held (curries, roasts, sauced product), the CRB wet series is the right format instead.

Set it on a level counter able to carry the loaded weight, leave clearance around the cabinet for airflow, and check the 2065 mm width against your servery and doorway access.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How is the temperature controlled? A: By a digital thermostat, which holds the setting rather than drifting through a long service.

Q: How do staff restock it? A: Through a sliding door, so serving and replenishing happen without reaching across the customer-facing glass.

Q: What are the dimensions? A: It measures 2065 mm wide x 650 mm deep x 750 mm high.

Q: Does it need special power or plumbing? A: No. It runs on standard 240 V as a self-contained plug-in unit.

Q: What warranty applies? A: It is covered by a 24-month (2-year) manufacturer-backed warranty on all parts and labour.
