The cabinet which can be used for other foods either frozen or cold has a solid top plate which orients the individual tubs. This allows lower maintenance time and cost helps keep moisture out and cold air in the enclosed bottom of the cabinet. The top plate has holes for the tubs which limits the escape of cold air from the cabinet improving energy efficiency as well as improving the overall visual aesthetics of the cabinet and the ease of access to the desired tub by the server. The invention also includes a locking device for preventing each tub from turning when being accessed in the proper serving position and means for moving the tub upward for ease of removal.
