Abstract:
1. A food holding cabinet comprising: a first thermally-conductive, tray receiving member having bottom and side walls, which define a cavity in which food or a food holding tray can be placed, the cavity having first and second opposing and open ends; a second thermally-conductive, tray receiving member having bottom and side walls, which define a cavity in which food or a food holding tray can be placed, the cavity having first and second opposing and open ends; a first Peltier device, thermally coupled to the first thermally-conductive, tray receiving member, the first Peltier device being configured to absorb heat energy from the first tray-receiving member; a second Peltier device, thermally coupled to the second thermally-conductive, tray receiving member, the second Peltier device being configured to absorb heat energy from the second tray-receiving member; and a controller operatively coupled to a first solenoid and to a second solenoid, the first solenoid being operatively coupled to the first Peltier device and the second solenoid being operatively coupled to the second Peltier device, the controller activating the first solenoid to maintain a first temperature in the first thermally-conductive, tray-receiving member, and the controller activating the second solenoid to maintain a second temperature in the second thermally-conductive, tray-receiving member.
