Electric chafing dish Hendi 470435

This green UNIQ electric chafing dish holds prepared food warm in a water bath. Its divided lid lets staff serve from one side while keeping the other covered, helping limit heat loss during service. A ladle can stay in the lid’s cut-out between portions, keeping it close to hand when serving soup or sauce.

Where it is used

Use the dish as a focused hot-holding point on a café counter or hotel buffet. The water reservoir suits a modest-volume serving station, while its marked maximum line gives staff a clear reference when preparing the bath. A card holder on the lid keeps dish identification at the point of service.

The two-part lid supports repeated access without opening the whole top. Staff can lift out the GN1/1 insert between service batches, and the ladle cut-out leaves a serving utensil in place between portions.

Connection and installation

The appliance operates on a 220–240 V supply. Its 0.7 kW rated power is lower than that of most products in this category; compare rated loads when planning the electrical provision for a holding station. This is a comparison of rated power, not a claim about actual electricity use. The heating element sits in the water reservoir, transferring heat through the bath to the insert.

The cable length sets the practical reach from the connection point, so position the serving station within that reach. Temperature memory restores the last selected setting when the unit is switched on again, avoiding a fresh selection at every restart.

Care

The removable GN1/1 insert is made from AISI 304 stainless steel. Its corrosion resistance suits damp kitchen conditions, and the insert can be lifted out for separate cleaning between service batches.

The lid is made from toughened glass and has an insulated handle for opening during service. The handle provides a practical grip, while the cut-out accommodates a ladle at the serving point.

How to choose

The temperature control offers one-degree increments, allowing fine adjustment of the water-bath setting for the food being held. The digital panel shows operating time and both set and current temperatures, so staff can check the selected setting and current reading during service.

Compare the unit’s overall footprint with the counter area allocated to the holding station. Its polypropylene body is designed to withstand elevated temperatures and is relatively light, which helps when positioning the appliance. Use it to hold food that has already been prepared; it is not intended for cooking.
