ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a vertical cabinet having the dual function of heating or cooling food articles within the cabinet. The cabinet comprises a plurality of removable, vertically spaced-apart support shelves of a conductive material for supporting food articles. One aspect of the invention provides for heating and cooking of food articles by circulating a thermal liquid fluid through a heating channel having a serpentine configuration in each shelf. Each shelf has quick-disconnect couplings. Another aspect of the invention provides for cooling and refrigeration of food articles by circulating a chilled fluid transfer media from a cooling unit connected to the vertical cabinet to the shelves of the cabinet.
