The RA2101B is a 6-litre round roll-top chafing dish with mirror-polished stainless steel construction. It maintains food at service temperature in buffet, banquet, and catering operations using wet heat from fuel canisters. Supplied with water pan and food insert for commercial hot-holding environments.
Commercial Application
Chafing dishes hold prepared food at safe serving temperatures during buffet service or off-site catering events. The roll-top lid allows one-handed access during high-volume service while retaining heat. Water pan creates indirect moist heat that prevents food from drying out over extended holding periods.
Operators use this unit during breakfast buffets, wedding receptions, corporate events, and hotel banquet service. The 6-litre capacity handles approximately 20-30 portions depending on menu item and portion size. Fuel canisters provide 2-4 hours of heat per canister depending on ambient temperature and fuel type.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in the RA2101B construction?
A: The RA2101B uses commercial-grade stainless steel with mirror polish finish suitable for food contact surfaces. Zodex constructs the body, lid, water pan, and food insert from corrosion-resistant stainless steel meeting CE hygiene standards. Specific alloy grade confirmation available on request for procurement documentation.
Q: What is the food pan capacity and does it accept standard GN inserts?
A: The unit holds 6 litres in the supplied food pan. The 480mm frame accepts standard GN 1/1 size inserts at 65mm depth. Operators can substitute compatible GN pans for menu-specific requirements.
Q: How long does one fuel canister maintain serving temperature?
A: Fuel duration depends on canister type and ambient conditions. Standard gel fuel canisters provide 2-4 hours of heat. Operators typically use two canisters for 4-hour events to maintain consistent temperature throughout service.
Q: Can the roll-top lid be removed completely for cleaning?
A: The roll-top lid lifts off the track mechanism for cleaning access after service. Water pan and food insert remove independently for dishwasher processing. Mirror polish surface wipes clean with commercial stainless steel cleaner.
