Helping foodservice operators increase speed of service while
maintaining superb food quality, Prince Castle holding bins improve
customer service and satisfaction. All Prince Castle bins use patented
Reli-A-Temp
TM
food holding technology, which keeps bin surfaces cool,
lowers energy costs and improves food consistency. Offering two
different holding bin lines - Food Holding Bins for holding
pre-packaged menu items and Dedicated Holding Bins
for bulk foods, Prince Castle has a bin ideal for any operation.
Food Holding Bins (FHB)-
For Pre-Packaged Menu Items
By perfectly holding many wrapped or
boxed menu items, including sandwiches,
chicken and pizza, Prince Castle FHBs are
ideal for operations that hold pre-
packaged hot foods.
Prince Castle FHBs feature solid state
controls and Reli-A-Temp
TM
heating to
accurately hold food at safer and desirable
holding temperatures. Adjustable shelving
and independent heater controls allow the
operator to customize their holding
capabilities.
DHBs Efficiently Holds Foods
Prince Castle DHBs use a combination of three different heat types to
efficiently and accurately hold menu items.
1 - Reli-A-Temp
TM
technology creates infrared energy that penetrates
the food, maintaining proper internal food temperatures.
2 - Conductive heat generated from the bottom heater is
transferred to the food through direct contact with heaters.
3 - Convective heat (warm air) bathes the outside surface
of the pan, keeping the air within the pan warm by preventing
hot air to escape.
In an open environment (no pan cover), moisture from the food’s
surface is allowed to escape, maintaining a crispy-outside, moist-
inside product.
In a closed environment, the foods natural moisture is trapped within
the pan, keeping product juicy and warm without washing away
flavors with steam like steamers do.

Dedicated Holding Bins (DHB) -
Flexibly Designed for Work-In-Process Operations
Prince Castle DHBs are an integral part of Work-In-Process operations that prepare menu
items to order on demand. Designed to hold individual menu components, Prince Castle
DHBs can hold virtually any fried, grilled or baked foods longer than traditional holding
methods. In addition, DHBs don’t dry out the food like heat lamps, and they don’t wash
the food with water like steamers, diminishing flavor and making food soggy.
Prince Castle designed each DHB with flexibility in mind. Whether it’s the unique pan/
cover system that allows operators to hold a variety of fried and non-fried foods, or the
space-conscious footprint, Prince Castle DHBs have an important place in any kitchen.
Infrared Heating
Technology
How Reli-A-Temp
TM
Works in FHBs
• Long-wave radiation reflects off the
shiny surfaces of the bin until the
energy (heat) is absorbed by either
the food or the energy source.
• Because the food and NOT the
environment is being heated,
ambient temperatures and the
equipment surface temperatures
stay cool while food remains hot.
• The heat source efficiently absorbs
and emits energy (heat) through
use of color and state-of-the art
materials, thereby greatly reducing
energy consumption.
• Reli-A-Temp
TM
uses long-wave infrared radiation to create high
energy environments with lower temperature heaters,
reducing stress on components and increasing reliability
without compromising performance.
