No Wet Mess: Healthcare food service professionals must ensure a clean, safe environment. Wet ice is inherently problematic for food cooling as it melts within one hour, leaving unsanitary pools of water. The C1 Cold Cell provides up to 8 hours of consistent cooling at a temperature that is colder than ice, without the mess.
Reduce Liability: Eliminating the labor of carrying ice buckets translates into reduced physical strain and potential injuries for healthcare food service workers. Stray melting cubes are a liability for slip-and-fall accidents. C1 is light, compact and easy to transport. The Elements Carrying Case holds up to 8 Cold Cells / Hot Cells – both models have the same footprint for ease of interchangeability.
Long Lasting Performance: Cold Cells far outperform wet ice, blue gel and ice packs. Experience 8 hrs of constant cooling per use with the freezer recharging cold pack that maintains a temperature of -10°C / 14°F and can be reused 2000 times. Other methods of keeping food cold can’t maintain adequate cold temperatures for more than an hour.
One Time Use Disposable: Heat Blaster flameless food warmer packets are water activated to provide steam heat for over 30 minutes. Used packets are safely disposable in everyday trash, while the plastic Instant Hot Buffetware trays can be reused and eventually recycled. Replace with a fresh new set for the next serving.
Works Anywhere: Simply place the Heat Blaster packet into the buffetware, add warm water in the reservoir, wait 1 minute… and watch as instant high heat steam is diffused. Instant Hot Catering Kits are environmentally safe with no toxic fumes and are ideal for indoor or outdoor short duration catering, with no need for electricity or a flame.
Designed for Distancing: Half-size buffetware options facilitate having more food stations that can be rationed and kept distanced.
Portable Carrying Case: Transport 2 Full Size Trays or 4 Half Size Trays with ease using a thermal carrying case. HeatBlaster is ideal for delivery applications, like drop off catering, keeping food warm from the kitchen to service.
