ORBIT – Induction Chafing Dish in Coloured Steel, Porcelain Insert
ORBIT: heat retention in colour
A chafing dish is usually an object barely noticed: it does its job, quietly, at the end of the buffet. ORBIT changes that assumption. Its stainless steel structure comes in a wide range of assertive colours, copper, yellow, red, black, green, gold, turning a functional piece of equipment into a genuine décor element. Heat retention no longer hides: it stands out, matching the coloured identity of the buffet.
Induction-compatible, ORBIT sits directly on an induction plate for clean, controlled heating, with no flame or fuel to manage. It is a chafing dish designed for modern buffets, where aesthetics and technical performance move forward together.
The removable insert, the real service piece
One point is worth clarifying: ORBIT's porcelain applies only to the interior insert, the removable container that holds the food and slots into the coloured steel structure. It is this piece, white and understated, that comes into contact with the dish; the coloured structure remains the fixed, permanent outer shell. This two-part design eases service and cleaning: the insert comes out, gets washed, goes back in, while the structure keeps its place and colour on the buffet.
The coloured counterpart of 5 STARS
ORBIT and 5 STARS answer the same need, keeping a dish hot with character, but in two distinct material registers. 5 STARS relies on enamelled cast iron, more traditional and heavier; ORBIT chooses coloured stainless steel, lighter, more contemporary, and induction-compatible. The choice depends on the aesthetic register sought: the artisan robustness of cast iron, or the assertive, modern colour of steel.
Who is it for?
- Hotels with hot buffets
- High-end event caterers

ORBIT is not made for standard contract catering or individual table service: it is buffet equipment, designed for the collective staging of heat retention.
