Bain-marie Stalgast BHS982316076

A chafing dish maintains food at serving temperature without overcooking by circulating gentle heat through a water bath. The lower compartment holds heated water, and the steam rises to warm the food pans evenly. This method prevents hot spots and keeps sauces and delicate dishes from drying out or breaking down during service.

The operator fills the lower water pan, places the food pans on the rack above, and switches on the heating element. A thermostat regulates the water temperature, keeping the steam consistent. The two GN1/1 gastronorm trays supplied with the unit slide into the rack, ready for hot holding. The integrated cupboard below provides storage for serving utensils or additional trays during service.

The unit is constructed from stainless steel throughout, including the water pan, food rack, and outer casing. The heating element is sealed beneath the water pan, and the thermostat control is mounted on the front panel. The 230 V supply connects via a standard plug, suitable for a dedicated kitchen circuit.

Overall dimensions of 760 mm wide, 600 mm deep and 850 mm high allow the chafing dish to fit on a standard worktop or sideboard. The stainless steel finish resists corrosion and is easy to wipe down after service. The water pan and food pans require regular emptying and cleaning to prevent scale and food residue build-up.

This model is supplied with two GN1/1 gastronorm trays, compatible with standard gastronorm racks and trolleys used in professional kitchens.
