Cold bain marie Stalgast ST307081

This cold chafing dish maintains prepared food at safe temperatures on buffet lines without ice or refrigeration. It uses a sealed base filled with cold water or glycol to absorb heat from the food pans, ensuring surfaces stay dry and free from condensation. The system operates quietly, requires no compressor, and can run for extended periods on a single coolant fill.

The unit accommodates two standard GN1/1 gastronorm containers. After filling the base with coolant to the indicated level, it connects to a 230 V socket. An internal thermostat cycles the pump to maintain temperatures between +6 °C and +12 °C. Adjustable legs allow the dish to sit level on uneven surfaces, while its low profile keeps food easily accessible.

Constructed from stainless steel, the frame resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning. The seamless wells feature rounded corners to prevent debris accumulation. The insulated base minimises external heat transfer, and the open design ensures food remains visible and within reach.

With a power rating of 0.24 kW, the unit draws a modest electrical load. The temperature range of +6 °C to +12 °C safely preserves cold starters, salads, and desserts without freezing. The 830 mm by 620 mm footprint fits two full-size gastronorm containers side by side, aligning with standard buffet line spacing. Height adjusts from 15 mm to 510 mm, allowing flush integration with adjacent equipment or raised serving levels.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel frame and wells with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The base should be emptied and dried after use to prevent scale or algae build-up in the coolant circuit. Routine cleaning requires no disassembly.
