Abstract: A cabinet that maintains heated food at a constant temperature by circulating heated air including means for controlling moisture in the circulating air. A top mounted blower forces the heated air through a louvered panel over pans of food; the louvers are graduated to assure even distribution of air. A water reservoir is employed which includes baffling to prevent water from being spilled when the reservoir is moved, the baffling also permits control over the amount of moisture absorbed by the circulating air.
