The DTC1114 is a hydraulic-lid chafing dish fitted with a GN2/3 food pan and water pan for wet-heat buffet service. Total capacity is 6 litres. Used in hotel buffets, catering halls, banqueting operations, and conference food service.
Commercial Application

Deployed at buffet stations where food is held for 2-4 hours. GN2/3 dimension fits standard gastronorm racks and transport trolleys. Single unit covers side dishes, vegetables, or portioned mains in medium-volume service. Fuel canisters provide controlled burn time without electrical connection.
