Thermos Stalgast 385140

A professional thermos keeps prepared food at serving temperature during transport or holding. It does not heat or cool the contents; instead, a double-walled construction traps air between an outer stainless steel shell and an inner aluminium liner. This air gap slows the transfer of heat, so hot food stays hot and cold food stays cold for hours without electricity or ice packs. The sealed lid prevents spills and further reduces heat exchange, making the unit suitable for mobile catering, off-site events or holding between service periods.

To use the thermos, first pre-heat or pre-chill the interior with hot or cold water. Drain the water, load the food, and close the screwed lid tightly. The folding legs raise the base off the worktop, reducing heat conduction through the bottom. When the food is needed, open the lid and serve directly from the container or transfer portions to serving dishes. The optional drip tray catches condensation or minor spills, keeping the surrounding area clean.

The housing is made of stainless steel for durability and hygiene, while the interior liner is aluminium for efficient heat retention. The lid is secured with a screw thread and fitted with handling grips for safe transport. Folding legs allow the unit to be stored flat when not in use.

A 14 litre capacity provides enough volume for bulk soups, stews, sauces or chilled desserts in medium-sized operations. The diameter of 230 mm and height of 560 mm determine the space it occupies on a worktop or in a vehicle. The stainless steel construction is dishwasher-safe, simplifying cleaning after each use.

An optional drip tray is available separately for use beneath the thermos.
