GN container Stalgast 815250

A counter display unit keeps prepared food at serving temperature while presenting it directly to customers. It uses a heated base or a low-wattage element beneath the pan to maintain warmth without cooking the contents further. The transparent front and sides let customers see the food clearly, encouraging impulse selections without opening doors or lifting lids. This type of unit sits on a worktop or counter, saving floor space and keeping the display at eye level for easy viewing.

The operator loads standard gastronorm pans—GN 1/6 or GN 1/9—into the unit. The pans rest on a heated shelf or platform, which keeps the food warm but not hot enough to dry it out or overcook it. The unit is switched on, and the temperature stabilises quickly, ready for service. Customers can see the food through the glass panels, and staff can replenish pans from the front or side without disrupting the display.

The construction is stainless steel, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen. The footprint of 730 mm by 230 mm fits neatly on most counters, leaving room for other equipment or till systems. The height of 230 mm keeps the food at a comfortable viewing level without obstructing staff movement behind the counter.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces and removing the glass panels for thorough washing. The heated shelf or platform should be cleaned after each service to prevent residue build-up, ensuring consistent heat distribution and hygiene.

This model is designed specifically for GN 1/6 and GN 1/9 gastronorm pans, making it compatible with standard catering pans used across professional kitchens. It is categorised under counter display units in the Stalgast catalogue.
