Stalgast Food Heating Lamp 1S 692400

A food heating lamp maintains plated dishes at serving temperature without drying or overcooking. Infrared elements above the worktop emit radiant heat that warms the surface of the food while leaving the interior unaffected. This method prevents condensation inside cloches and keeps sauces glossy, meats juicy and vegetables firm until the moment of service. The operator positions the lamp over the plating area, plugs it into a 230 V supply and switches it on. The infrared elements reach operating temperature within seconds, creating a consistent heat zone beneath the lamp head. Plates are placed directly under the lamp; no additional covers or cloches are required. The lamp remains in place until service is complete, after which it is switched off and allowed to cool before cleaning. The Stalgast 1S food heating lamp is constructed as a single horizontal arm mounted on a vertical post. The arm and post are finished in stainless steel, providing resistance to kitchen moisture and cleaning chemicals. The lamp head houses the infrared elements and is adjustable in height to suit different plate sizes and worktop layouts. The 230 V voltage matches standard UK commercial circuits, allowing the lamp to be installed on any worktop with a suitable socket. The 270 mm height clears most plated dishes, while the 700 mm width spans a typical plating station, covering multiple plates at once. The smooth stainless-steel housing repels kitchen splashes and can be wiped down between service rushes without leaving streaks or residue. The infrared elements require no maintenance beyond occasional dusting to ensure maximum heat output. The reflector and bulb lift out as one piece, letting you clear grease build-up from the housing in seconds without tools. This model is listed in the Stalgast catering equipment catalogue under food holding and warming equipment.
