Bain-marie Stalgast 982246108

A chafing dish maintains hot food at safe serving temperatures without overcooking. It uses a water bath beneath the food tray: a heating element warms the water, and the steam rises to gently heat the tray above. This indirect method prevents scorching and keeps sauces, meats and vegetables evenly warm for hours, making it essential for buffet lines and catering events. The Stalgast Neutral 3 GN1/1 chafing dish is built for professional use. Three GN1/1 gastronorm trays sit side by side above the water pan. The operator fills the lower pan with hot water, places the food trays on the rails, and switches the unit on. A single control sets the heating level, keeping the water at a consistent temperature that transfers steady warmth to the food without drying it out. The unit remains on throughout service, allowing guests to serve themselves without interruption. The seamless stainless-steel basin and frame resist corrosion from acidic sauces and steam, keeping the chafing dish ready for every buffet shift without warping or staining. The exterior measures 1085 mm wide, 600 mm deep and 850 mm high, giving a substantial worktop footprint that fits standard buffet counters. The 3.0 kW heating element draws power from a 230 V single-phase supply, the standard circuit found in most commercial kitchens. GN1/1 trays are included, so the unit is ready to use with standard catering pans. A single wipe with a damp cloth removes grease and food residue from the smooth welded seams, so the dish can be returned to service in minutes. After service, the trays and water pan lift out for washing. The stainless steel surfaces wipe clean with a damp cloth, and the heating element is sealed, so no water enters the electrical compartment. Regular descaling of the water pan prevents mineral build-up from hard water, ensuring consistent heat transfer. The Neutral 3 GN1/1 is a single model; no variants are listed. It is categorised under chafing dishes in the Stalgast professional catering range.
