Description
The Hendi CDU0004 is an electric chafing dish from the Hendi UNIQ series that keeps buffet food at safe serving temperature using gentle bain-marie heating. Its removable 1/1 GN pan (100 mm deep) sits over a water bath with an embossed 4 L maximum fill line, while the digital control panel holds any set point from 35°C to 85°C in 1°C increments — and remembers the last setting each time it is switched on. In beige, the lightweight polypropylene body makes it easy to carry between events, so it suits caterers as much as fixed buffet lines.
Why operators choose the CDU0004
- Bain-marie heating reduces the risk of overheating and drying food out — designed for holding, not cooking
- Digital control panel displays working time, set temperature and actual temperature (35–85°C in 1°C steps)
- Two-part tempered glass lid with insulated handle and aluminium hinge reduces heat loss on opening while maintaining hygienic service
- High temperature resistant polypropylene body is lightweight and easy to transport — ideal for catering
- Integrated card holder on the lid for product name cards on the buffet

Frequently asked questions
What pan does the Hendi CDU0004 take?
It takes a removable 1/1 GN pan, 100 mm deep, which lifts out for filling, service and cleaning.
Can I cook food in the CDU0004?
No. It is designed for keeping food warm only, with bain-marie heating adjustable from 35°C to 85°C — it is not intended for cooking.
How does the bain-marie water bath work?
The water container is embossed with a 4 L maximum fill line; heating the water bath rather than the pan directly reduces the risk of overheating and drying food out.
What power supply does it need?
It runs on 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz at 700 W, so it plugs into a standard power outlet with no fixed wiring.
Is it practical for mobile catering?
Yes — the body is made from lightweight, high temperature resistant polypropylene, making it easy to transport between venues, and the last temperature setting is saved in memory when it powers back on.
