This offer ends in:
The DTC1022 is a roll-top chafing dish holding a 9-litre GN1/1 food pan over a water bath heated by two fuel holders. It maintains hot food at buffet service temperature in hotels, banquet halls, and catering operations. The folding stainless steel frame allows transport and storage between events.
Commercial Application
Catering crews use this unit to hold prepared hot entrées, sides, and sauces at consistent temperature during banquet service. The water pan distributes heat evenly beneath the food pan, preventing scorching during multi-hour buffet setups. Two fuel holders support extended service without refueling interruptions.
Operators load hot food into the 9-litre pan before guests arrive, then maintain temperature throughout the meal period. The roll-top cover opens backward for self-service access while containing steam. The folding frame collapses for transport in catering vans or storage in banquet prep areas between shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the DTC1022?
A: The unit is constructed from stainless steel 201, which meets commercial food contact standards for buffet service applications. This grade provides corrosion resistance in heated water pan environments while maintaining cost efficiency for high-volume catering operations.
Q: How long does one set of fuel holders maintain service temperature?
A: Two standard chafing fuel canisters typically provide 4-6 hours of heat depending on ambient temperature and how frequently the cover is opened. Operators should have replacement fuel available for events exceeding 5 hours.
Q: What is the collapsed height of the folding frame?
A: When folded, the frame reduces to approximately 80mm height for stacking in transport cases or storage shelving. The legs fold inward and lock flat against the base structure.
Q: Can the food pan be replaced with different GN1/1 depths?
A: Yes, any standard GN1/1 pan between 40mm and 100mm depth will fit the frame. Operators can swap pans based on menu item volume requirements for different events.
Q: Does the water pan require filling before every use?
A: Yes, fill the water pan to the indicated level before lighting fuel holders. Water provides the heat transfer medium and prevents damage to the food pan from direct flame exposure.
