Is the SEJ20000 the Right Warmer?

The SEJ20000 suits a back-of-house rice station or hot line where the equipment around it is stainless and 30 cups of cooked rice gets you through a rush. The all-stainless body matches the rest of the line and wipes down like other steel equipment.

  • Warmer on display? The SEJ18000 is the same 30 cup warmer with a wood grain body, better suited to a buffet or sushi counter.
  • Need more holding? The SEJ22000 is the 50 cup stainless model. Same 15-1/2" width, 3-3/4" taller at 15-1/4".
  • Pair it with a cooker: the warmer frees your cooker for the next batch. Common pairings are the SEJ3201 or the SEJ60000.

Thunder Group SEJ20000 FAQ

Should I buy the SEJ20000 or the SEJ22000?

Both are all-stainless warmers on the same 15-1/2" footprint. Choose the SEJ20000 for 30 cups and an 11-1/2" height. Choose the SEJ22000 when you need 50 cups and have room for 15-1/4" of height.

What is the difference between the SEJ20000 and the SEJ18000?

Only the body finish. The SEJ20000 is all mirror stainless. The SEJ18000 has a wood grain body. Both hold 30 cups.

Can I plug the SEJ20000 in next to my rice cooker?

It draws only 100 watts. Still, check the circuit, because an electric cooker can draw up to 1,780 watts on its own.

Which cooker pairs with the SEJ20000?

A 30 cup cooker such as the SEJ3201 is a common pairing. Cook a batch, move it to the warmer, and start the next batch.

Is the SEJ20000 NSF listed?

Yes. It is NSF and UL listed.
