Sterno-SpeedHeat-packet-steaming-with-food

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
As the saying goes, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” But in those cases when you’re out of the kitchen to drop off catering and can’t bring the flame, the Sterno SpeedHeat still brings the heat. “The majority of the corporate catering clients we deliver to don’t permit open flame,” says Thad Smith, Executive Chef of Sterno. “This restricts the kinds of menu options we can offer to room-temperature or cold food. The SpeedHeat product will allow us to offer higher margin hot menu items and do so in the safest way possible.” The flameless heating system comprises SpeedHeat packets added to each of the tray’s 2 reservoirs that are filled with water to activate the packets, generating heat in less than 1 min. and continuing to heat for up to 45 min. Filled food pans placed over the steaming packets stay at an ideal serving temperature for up to 30 min. “For our corporate catering events we simply did not offer menu items that required a warming source, such as a traditional, disposable, wire-rack chafers,” adds Smith. “The SpeedHeat system will allow us to expand our corporate catering menu and the level of service we can provide our customers.”
