Bain-marie Stalgast BHS982306076

This stainless-steel chafing dish maintains sauces, soups, and braised meats at buffet-ready warmth by circulating gentle heat beneath two full-size gastronorm trays. This Stalgast unit uses electric heating elements beneath a water bath to create gentle, even warmth. The heat transfers from the water to the food trays above, preventing scorching while maintaining safe holding temperatures. This method ensures food stays moist and ready for service over extended periods, making it essential for buffets, banquets and large-scale catering. The appliance holds two GN1/1 gastronorm trays, which are not included. The operator fills the lower compartment with water, places the trays of food above, and switches on the heating element. A storage closet beneath the heating area provides space for additional trays, lids or serving utensils, keeping everything within reach during service. The unit remains in place on a worktop or buffet counter, ready for guests to serve themselves. Constructed from stainless steel, the chafing dish resists corrosion and withstands frequent cleaning. The exterior dimensions of 760 mm wide, 600 mm deep and 850 mm high allow it to fit on most standard catering counters while leaving room for other equipment. The 230 V electrical requirement matches the standard supply in professional kitchens, allowing straightforward installation without special wiring. The built-in closet simplifies service by eliminating the need to fetch trays or tools from elsewhere. Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces after use and emptying the water bath to prevent mineral build-up. The unit's design allows easy access to all areas for thorough maintenance. This chafing dish is categorised under heated holding equipment in the Stalgast professional catering range.
