HENDI Heating Surface GN 1/1 for Professional Worktops

A heating surface transfers steady warmth to gastronorm containers without direct flame or hot air. Instead of a burner or element exposed to the air, a concealed resistance wire heats a flat metal plate. The plate's large area spreads the heat evenly, so every part of the container receives the same temperature. Because the heat is gentle and radiant, the food inside stays moist and does not scorch or dry out. The insulated base beneath the plate prevents heat loss downward, concentrating all the energy on the container above.

Place the heating surface on a stable worktop. Plug it into a 230 V circuit. Set the gastronorm container on the plate; the unit starts heating automatically. A thermostat maintains the temperature up to 95 °C, so the operator can leave the container in place for service without constant attention. When the container is removed, the surface cools quickly, ready for the next use.

The plate is sized to fit a GN 1/1 container: 530 mm by 325 mm. The total height of 45 mm keeps the unit low, so it does not obstruct the worktop or cupboard space below. The weight of 1.4 kg allows one person to move it between stations or store it when not in use.

The 1.9 kW power rating draws a modest load on a standard 230 V circuit, suitable for most professional kitchens without special wiring. The automatic heating to 95 °C opens processes that need gentle warmth—holding sauces, melting butter, proofing dough or keeping plated food warm before service.

The insulated base and smooth metal plate are wiped clean with a damp cloth. No disassembly is needed; the construction has no crevices or moving parts that trap food debris.

The catalogue places this model in the worktop warming and holding section, alongside other counter-top appliances for service and preparation.
