Catering during the busy season comes with its challenges: cumbersome chafing dishes, reliance on electricity, and the risks of open flames—not to mention restrictions at venues that prohibit them. Say goodbye to those hassles with Sterno’s SpeedHeat flameless food warming system, a true game-changer for caterers. Designed for simplicity, safety, and efficiency, SpeedHeat eliminates the headaches of traditional setups, ensuring your dishes stay warm and your events run smoothly. Whether you're managing a bustling holiday schedule or tackling flame-restricted venues, SpeedHeat is the innovative solution you’ve been waiting for.

 

Non-toxic flameless heat for increased safety

Sterno’s SpeedHeat system offers a safer, non-toxic alternative to traditional food warming methods. Using flameless heat packs activated by water, it eliminates the risks of open flames and electricity. The heat packs are made from food-safe, eco-friendly materials and remain cool to the touch, reducing the chance of burns or accidents. With no flames, fumes, or emissions, SpeedHeat is safe for any environment—indoors or outdoors—providing a worry-free solution for catering and events.

 

Quick and simple set up

Sterno SpeedHeat offers a quick and easy setup, making it an ideal solution for busy catering and event environments. Unlike traditional warming systems that require assembling chafing dishes, adding water, and lighting fuel, SpeedHeat simplifies the process.

To set it up, simply place the heat packs under your food trays, add a small amount of water to activate them, and you’re ready to go. The system heats up rapidly, reaching the desired temperature in minutes, so there’s no waiting around. This straightforward setup minimizes hassle and allows you to focus on other tasks, ensuring your event runs smoothly without delays.

Instant heat production

Sterno SpeedHeat delivers instant heat, making it one of the fastest and most efficient food warming solutions available. Once you activate the system by adding a small amount of water to the heat packs, they begin producing heat within seconds, reaching the desired temperature in just a few minutes.

This rapid heat production ensures that your food stays warm and ready to serve without any lengthy waiting periods. Whether you're catering an event or hosting a gathering, SpeedHeat's instant heating ability allows you to keep the focus on your guests, not the food warming process.

Disposable and reusable options

The Sterno SpeedHeat system offers flexible solutions for foodservice operations. For pick-up and drop-off catering, disposable SpeedHeat products are ideal, as they are single-use and easily recyclable by customers. For events where equipment is retrieved or regularly reused on-site, the durable reusable SpeedHeat models like the Sterno SpeedHeat HD, provide a cost-effective option, lasting multiple uses with proper care.

SpeedHeat Refills, which include trays and packets for one-time use, work seamlessly with both models. Disposable bases feature integrated Steam Stoppers for simplicity, while reusable bases use separate Steam Stopper pieces for versatility. These options enable caterers to efficiently adapt to different event needs with safe, effective food warming solutions.
