Paragon 8020 Commercial Hot Dog Steamer Machine - Red, Perfect for Restaurants, Food Trucks & Concession Stands

We were looking for a way to feed our 60+ employees once a week--we decided to do hot dogs--but our employees are on the road all day and can return anytime from 10 AM-6 or 7 PM. We needed to find a way to cook and hold the hot dogs all day, while keeping the quality of them perfect. The Paragon Hot Dog Steamer has highly surpassed all our expectations. We are a trash hauling company, and the employee meal area is just off our 18 bay commercial garage-- so one of the greatest features of this unit is the doors shut tightly, and there is no access for flies to touch the food... which is a HUGE relief! We start the unit at 900 in the morning and add 100 hot dogs all at once. Within 30 minutes or so all of the dogs are up to the correct temperature and just delicious! We have done some testing over the past month or so and we have found that the hot dogs that were put in the unit at 9 AM are still plump, juicy, and delicious at 7 PM! The adjustable thermostat makes sure the hot dogs are kept at a safe to serve temperature all day long. Everyone loves them and it's a nice end to everyone's week. We have found that buns don't hold up well on the steamer shelf--but, if anyone wants a steamed bun then they put them in for about 2 minutes and they are perfect. I would highly recommend the Paragon Hot Dog Steamer--it is commercial grade and high quality materials--nothing flimsy here. The hot dogs hold perfectly and they are delicious! This unit has made a great addition to our workplace!
