A display cabinet for holding ready-to-eat food, comprises a substantially flat deck (14) and heating elements (22, 24, 26) for heating respective zones A, B, C of the deck. The heating elements (22, 24, 26) can be operated independently so as to heat one zone of the deck independently of another and to heat from beneath food containers (32) located in those zones. In that way it is not necessary to heat the whole of the deck (14) where containers (32) of food occupy only part of the deck. Additional heating may be provided in the form of a pulsed infrared heater arrangement (36) which heats food in the containers (32) from above. Food containers may be supported by pull-out frames (100) which provides access to food in the containers without having to reach inside the cabinet. |
