Stalgast Hot Ceramic Surface for 2 GN1/1 Trays

A ceramic hot surface keeps prepared dishes at serving temperature without drying or overcooking. Electric elements beneath a smooth ceramic plate radiate steady, even heat across the entire worktop. The granite surface above the ceramic layer spreads the warmth further, preventing hot spots and allowing trays to slide easily into place. This method preserves moisture and texture in plated food, making it suitable for holding sauces, grilled items and delicate components until service begins.

The operator places two GN1/1 gastronorm trays directly on the granite worktop. A single rotary control sets the temperature anywhere between 30 °C and 95 °C, letting the kitchen match the holding heat to the dish—lower for pastries, higher for soups or braised meats. Once the control is set, the ceramic elements maintain the chosen temperature automatically, freeing staff to attend to other tasks. The granite surface is removable for cleaning, and its weight keeps trays stable during service.

Construction centres on a stainless-steel frame that supports the ceramic heating plate and the granite worktop. The granite is natural Strzegom stone, chosen for its density and thermal stability. Front and side panels are also stainless steel, while the rear panel is galvanised for protection against moisture. The unit stands on adjustable feet, allowing levelling on uneven floors.

The 230 V, 50 Hz supply draws 3.0 kW, matching a standard single-phase circuit found in most professional kitchens. The footprint of 920 mm wide by 735 mm deep fits within a typical worktop run, leaving space for adjacent preparation or plating stations. The 880 mm height aligns with standard counter heights, so trays can be transferred directly from trolleys or ovens without lifting.

Cleaning involves removing the granite worktop and wiping the ceramic plate with a damp cloth. The stainless-steel frame and panels can be washed with mild detergent, while the granite surface should be cleaned with a stone-safe cleaner to preserve its finish. Regular descaling of the ceramic plate prevents mineral build-up from hard water.

The unit is supplied in a single version with the natural granite worktop as standard. No additional options or accessories are specified for this model.
