Counter with hot ceramic top and shelf Stalgast BHS233111

A ceramic hot surface keeps food at serving temperature without further cooking. The heating element beneath the ceramic plate warms the surface evenly, transferring heat to gastronorm pans placed on top. This method prevents scorching or drying, maintaining the texture and flavour of prepared dishes while freeing the hob for active cooking tasks.

The operator sets the desired temperature between 30 °C and 95 °C using the control panel. Once the surface reaches the target, it holds the heat steadily, allowing pans to be loaded, swapped or removed without fluctuation. The natural granite shelf below provides a secondary warming zone or temporary storage for lids and utensils.

The unit is built with a ceramic top plate and a granite shelf, both chosen for heat retention and durability. The front panel houses the temperature control and power switch, allowing precise adjustment of the surface temperature.

A power rating of 2.4 kW indicates the load on a single-phase 230 V circuit, typical for professional kitchen equipment. The footprint of 1132 mm by 735 mm fits standard worktop layouts, while the 880 mm height allows placement beneath wall cupboards or ventilation canopies. The temperature range from 30 °C to 95 °C covers holding, proofing and gentle warming without risk of overcooking.

Cleaning involves wiping the ceramic surface and granite shelf with a damp cloth after use. The smooth materials prevent food residue from sticking, reducing scrubbing time. The control panel should be kept dry to avoid damage to the electronics.

The product is categorised under hot surfaces and warming equipment in the Stalgast professional catering range.
