Burning paste

Heating element paste for heat exchangers

What exactly is fuel paste? Fuel paste is a special fuel made from thickened ethanol or methanol. The fuel gel burns without smoke or odor, making it ideal for use in enclosed spaces. Unlike liquid fuels, fuel paste and fondue paste are gel-like, making them particularly safe to handle, as they cannot leak or spill. An overview of the properties of fuel paste for warming dishes:

• Safe combustion – no open flame, no explosion due to evaporation
• Smoke-free & odorless – ideal for indoor use
• Easy to use – light directly from the container, no refilling required
• Long burn time – perfect for keeping food warm for several hours
• Versatile – excellent for fondues, buffets, and all types of catering

These advantages make fuel paste for warming dishes a popular and proven heat source for professional use in the catering industry.

Thanks to its safe and clean handling, modern fuel paste for chafing dishes is indispensable in many areas. In the catering industry, fuel paste is suitable for keeping food warm for a long time. Especially at buffets, in hotels, at catering events, and in canteens, a reliable heat source is crucial. Generally, fuel gel is gladly used to heat and keep fondues warm. The heat source then referred to as fondue paste ensures even heat without producing unpleasant odors or soot. The fondue paste is perfect for cheese fondue, meat fondue, or even chocolate fondue. In addition to fondues, fuel paste for chafing dishes is also used when camping or for outdoor kitchens. It is suitable for heating water and food and often serves as a substitute when other cooking options are unavailable.

Fuel Gel – Benefits & Application

Burning gel offers many advantages over liquid fuels such as methylated spirits or denatured alcohol. For example, the burning paste for warming dishes is particularly safe. While methylated spirits evaporate quickly and are highly flammable, there is no risk of explosion with burning gel because it cannot spill. In addition, the burning paste for warming dishes is odorless and smoke-free, whereas denatured alcohol can have an unpleasant smell and produce a lot of soot. The canned fondue paste is also particularly easy to use. It can be lit directly from the can, while there is always a risk of spilling conventional methylated spirits. Burning gel is safer, cleaner and easier to use than liquid fuels and is therefore the best choice for caterers and restaurateurs of all kinds!

How is the burning gel correctly used? It is very easy to use. First, remove the lid from the container. If you plan to reuse the burning paste in a warmer later, it is best to keep the lid safely stored. Once the lid has been removed, the burning paste can be lit with a long match or a lighter. The flame now burns evenly and steadily, without sparking. After use, simply close the container with a suitable lid or extinguishing cap. The burning gel should never be extinguished with water! In addition, always use a definitely heat-resistant surface to avoid possible damage from high temperatures. If there are ever any residues, simply clean the surfaces with suitable cleaning supplies – and you're done.
