Abstract

See full text

A temperature regulation device for food items includes a food pan, a heating device configured to provide regulated heating of the food pan, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the food pan, and a control system. The control system is configured to control the heating device in response to at least the temperature of the food pan detected by the temperature sensor by providing a gradual warming control mode in response to the temperature sensor detecting the temperature of the food pan below a minimum preset temperature and providing a normal control mode in response to the temperature sensor detecting the temperature of the food pan above the minimum preset temperature.
