Last week, we discussed **cold food counters** and their essential role in keeping food chilled and safe for your buffet or catering setup. This week, we’re turning our attention to the other side of the equation: the **hot food counter**. IMC hot food counters are designed to maintain the perfect serving temperature for your freshly prepared dishes, ensuring both safety and quality.
Keeping food warm after cooking requires careful handling and the right equipment. That’s where IMC hot food counters come in—they’re built to maintain consistent heat and keep your food fresh, ready to serve at any time.
All IMC hot food counters feature **heated drop-in pans**, which can be used either dry or with liquid. Some models also include **fluorescent or heated lamps** to help regulate and maintain the ideal temperature. The goal is simple: keep your food hot, safe, and appetizing throughout your event.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at IMC’s two main hot food counter models and walk you through the available options. Let’s dive in.

### **Model #SHF – The Standard Hot Food Counter**
IMC’s **Model #SHF** is the go-to choice for most buffet operations. It’s constructed from **Type 300 series stainless steel**, featuring a **16-gauge top**, **14-gauge frame**, and **18-gauge apron**—ensuring durability and ease of cleaning.
This model can be customized with **2 to 6 food wells**, each equipped with a **1200-watt heating element** and a **thermostat control**. It also comes with **5-inch heavy-duty casters**, making it easy to move around your venue as needed.
Whether you're hosting a small gathering or a large event, the SHF provides reliable performance and flexibility.

### **Model #SHFC – The Enhanced Hot Food Counter**
For those who need a little more functionality, the **Model #SHFC** offers additional features beyond the standard SHF. In addition to the same durable construction and multiple well options, the SHFC includes a **heated compartment** with a **pan slide assembly**, allowing for **backup storage** of pre-heated pans.
This makes it ideal for **high-volume buffet setups**, where frequent replacement of dishes is necessary. With the heated compartment, you can quickly access extra hot pans without interrupting service.
