Hot bain-marie with neutral cabinet Stalgast ST219111

A cold chafing dish keeps prepared food chilled and ready for service without refrigeration. Instead of compressors or ice, it circulates cooled air through a closed chamber, maintaining a steady temperature above freezing. This method prevents dehydration and flavour transfer while allowing the food to remain accessible on the worktop. The system is silent, vibration-free and requires no drainage, making it suitable for front-of-house display or buffet lines. The operator loads up to three GN1/1 gastronorm pans into the single chamber, then sets the desired holding temperature between +30 °C and +95 °C using the digital control panel. Once the temperature is reached, the unit holds it indefinitely, allowing staff to replenish pans without interrupting service. The cupboard beneath provides enclosed storage for serving utensils, napkins or additional pans, keeping the workspace organised. Construction is entirely stainless steel, including the exterior, interior and pan supports. The 230 V, 50 Hz power supply matches standard UK commercial circuits, while the 2.4 kW rating indicates a modest electrical load that can share a circuit with other light-duty equipment. The footprint of 1132 mm by 735 mm fits neatly on a standard worktop or mobile stand, and the 880 mm height allows easy access without stooping. Controls consist of a digital thermostat with a clear display, allowing precise temperature selection within the +30 °C to +95 °C range. The unit maintains the set point automatically, freeing staff to focus on service rather than monitoring. The temperature range of +30 °C to +95 °C covers cold holding for salads, desserts and chilled appetisers, as well as gentle warming for sauces or hot canapés. The seamless stainless steel interior repels fingerprints and spills during service, so chilled buffet items stay spotless without scrubbing between events. The pan supports and interior chamber should be checked regularly for food debris and wiped down after each service to maintain hygiene standards. This model is listed in the Stalgast catalogue under chafing and holding equipment for professional catering.
