The table-top or slide-in module with an electronically controllable, energy-saving cooling/warming plate (full-surface) is used for cooling food and keeping it cold/hot in a GN system – for maximum flexibility in any serving situation.
This provides significant energy savings in use through the direct contact heat / cold and the plate's unique SWISS-PLY multi-layer material. The material combines aluminium in the core with conductivity (hot/cold) 10 times better than pure stainless steel and the hygienic advantages of stainless steel. This enables the fast and easy switching of the plate from refrigeration to heating mode. The digital control can be used to set the desired target temperature for the integrated cooling ducts or for heating and to maintain a constant energy supply for the desired temperature to ensure perfect quality even after a prolonged period of time.

The heat / cold can be stored even more efficiently in combination with the thermoplates® GN cooking pot, also made of SWISS-PLY multi-layer material. The watertight press-in lid and the stylish cooking and buffet lids (buffet lid for the table-top variant) offer the matching lid variants for keeping food hot/cold and for hygienic protection when serving.

All GN 1/1 varithek® modules are standardised and can therefore be flexibly combined and interchanged, for precise insertion in the AST/EST system modules or in the varithek® GN port. Also available on request as a built-in version for stationary use.
