When it comes to keeping your buffet food warm, the type of fuel you use can significantly impact both your event’s success and its environmental footprint. Traditionally, gel pots or cans have been the standard choice for caterers and event organizers. However, EcoBurner is changing that as a superior alternative in efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
The Advantages of EcoBurner
One of the main advantages of using EcoBurner is that it is a refillable gas burner, which means that there is zero waste and a significant reduction in environmental impact. Gel cans are disposable, which leads to substantial waste and challenging disposal.
Open flames and potential spills make gel pots risky. EcoBurner is the greener solution, producing less carbon, with an enclosed flame to reduce accidents. EcoBurner adapts to any setting, indoor or outdoor, as it is windproof and waterproof. There is no filling, heating, transporting, or wasting water with EcoBurner because it heats up in less than 10 minutes without the need for electricity or water.
EcoBurner ensures all food is maintained at the perfect temperature, enhancing food safety and guest satisfaction. Gel pots can often heat unevenly, causing cold spots in the food in your chafing dish.
Let’s look at a recent case study to see the difference in costs.
Case Study: FLIK Hospitality Group
The FLIK Hospitality Group switched from single-use gel pots to EcoBurner to address issues with inconsistent heat and outdoor suitability.
The Challenge
For a three-day outdoor event catering to 250 people, FLIK used 18 EcoBurners for three hours each day. Executive Chef William Pfeiffer noted, “With a traditional gel or wick, you get one single heat source that wants to heat whatever is directly above it, but with EcoBurner, you get an adjustable radiant heat with no burn spots.”
The Results
The FLIK team found EcoBurner provided reliable heating, substantial cost savings, and a significantly reduced environmental impact.
EcoBurner outperforms gel pots in heat consistency, safety, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness. By switching to EcoBurner, you enhance buffet quality and safety while contributing to a more sustainable future. Contact us today to start saving with EcoBurner!
