Why Australian hospitality and retail operators choose the Apuro CJ558-A:

• Generous 30-pie commercial capacity — features three removable wire rack shelves designed to hold up to 30 standard Australian meat pies, pasties, or sausage rolls simultaneously, meeting peak lunchtime trade demands.

• Integrated humidity water pan — built-in internal water pan gently introduces passive steam humidity into the cabinet cavity, preventing pastry from drying out, hardening, or cracking over prolonged holding periods.

• Precise thermostatic dial control (30°C to 90°C) — intuitive front-mounted temperature dial allows operators to set precise holding conditions, maintaining food safety compliance above 60°C while preventing burning.

• High-visibility sliding glass doors — smooth-sliding front glass doors provide fast, ergonomic access for staff while forming a sanitary barrier that protects hot food from airborne contaminants, dust, and insects.

• Internal merchandising light — built-in warm overhead display lamp illuminates hot pastries from above, showcasing golden pastry crusts to boost impulse counter sales.

• Heavy-duty 430 stainless steel body — durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel casing withstands continuous counter service, bumps, and spills while wiping down effortlessly.

• Three removable chrome wire shelves — fully removable rack shelves allow flexible multi-level spacing for party pies, sausage rolls, or quiches and lift out completely for fast end-of-shift sanitisation.

• Standard 10A plug-and-play operation — energy-efficient 350W power draw operates on standard Australian single-phase 230V mains power with a factory-fitted 10 Amp wall plug, requiring zero electrician installation costs.

Technical Specifications

Operating & Food Safety Notice

Please note that the Apuro CJ558-A is a commercial heated holding cabinet and food display warmer; it is not designed to cook raw foods, bake pastries, or reheat chilled/frozen items from cold. All pies, sausage rolls, pasties, and savoury items must be baked or heated through to a core temperature of at least 75°C in a commercial oven or pie baker before being transferred to the cabinet.

To comply with Australian Food Safety Standards (Standard 3.2.2), always set the thermostat dial to hold pastries at an internal ambient cabinet temperature above 60°C. Keep the base water reservoir filled with clean, warm water during service to maintain ideal moisture balance. Clean the interior walls, shelves, and crumb base daily with warm soapy water and a soft cloth; never submerge the cabinet body or spray water into electrical components.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Standard commercial courier delivery is available across Australia. Each unit is securely packaged in high-density protective cartons with shock-absorbing foam inserts to protect the sliding glass doors and polished stainless steel casing during transit. Bulk ordering and multi-site dispatch are available for school canteen associations, franchise chains, and service station groups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Apuro CJ558-A cook or reheat frozen pies?

No. The CJ558-A is strictly a commercial hot food holding cabinet and merchandiser. It is engineered to hold pre-cooked, freshly baked pies and hot foods at safe serving temperatures between 60°C and 90°C. Placing frozen or cold pies into the cabinet will lower the internal temperature and violate commercial food safety guidelines.

How does the water pan stop pastry from drying out?

Electric heating elements naturally strip moisture from the air, which can cause pastry shells to become hard, brittle, and dry over several hours. The built-in water pan sits near the heat source to generate passive steam humidity, keeping the air moist so pies remain flaky on the outside and juicy on the inside.

How many standard pies fit on each shelf?

The cabinet includes three removable wire shelves. Each shelf comfortably accommodates approximately 10 standard commercial Australian bakery pies (approx. 100mm to 110mm in diameter), delivering a total holding capacity of up to 30 pies across all three levels.

What electrical outlet is required?

The Apuro CJ558-A operates with an energy-efficient 350W power draw on standard Australian 230V 50Hz single-phase mains power. It comes factory-fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and lead, allowing immediate plug-and-play installation into any standard wall power point without electrical upgrades.

Are the shelves and glass doors removable for cleaning?

Yes. The three chrome-plated wire shelves lift out easily, and the tempered sliding glass doors can be lifted out of their guide tracks without tools. This allows staff to wash the interior cavity, wipe away pastry crumbs, and sanitise the unit in minutes at the end of each shift.
