Chafing dish HENDI 470251

A chafing dish keeps food at serving temperature without overcooking by using a gentle, indirect heat source. Two fuel containers sit beneath a water pan; the water absorbs and evens out the heat, while the food pan rests above it in a gastronorm frame. This method prevents hot spots and keeps sauces and delicate dishes warm for hours without drying or scorching.

The operator fills the water pan, lights the fuel containers and places the food pan on the frame. An adjustable, lockable lid controls steam and heat loss, allowing the chef to fine-tune the temperature for different dishes. Once the event is over, the lid lifts off completely for easy access to every part.

The unit is built entirely of stainless steel, including the water pan, gastronorm GN 1/1 food pan (65 mm deep) and the two fuel containers. The 570 mm by 430 mm footprint fits standard banquet tables and transport racks, while the 7.73 kg weight allows one person to carry it between kitchen and venue.

Controls are limited to the lid hinge, which locks at any angle to regulate heat and steam. The 9 L volume holds a full gastronorm GN 1/1 pan, making it suitable for buffet lines and off-site catering where portion control and presentation matter.

Cleaning follows from the construction: the lid, water pan, food pan and fuel containers all lift out, so each can be washed separately in a sink or dishwasher. Stainless steel resists staining and corrosion, so the finish stays bright with routine washing.

The product is part of the HENDI Profi Line, positioned for professional banquet and event catering.
