This FS Model topping warmer features a water-bath with wrap-around heating element to eliminate hot spots and provide accurate, even heat to your ice cream toppings. The temperature-controlled thermostat prevents accidental burning or scorching by sensing the food temperature and turning the heating element on or off as needed. It includes a 1 oz stainless steel ladle and accepts a #10 can of topping or 3 quart jar (sold separately). Versatility is key with this countertop topping warmer. The base can be fitted with a portion-controlled topping pump (81320) or an inset with three squeeze bottles (86819) for adding your Signature Touch to a dessert or specialty drink.
