Product Overview
Instant Buffetware GN Half Set
The Instant Buffetware GN Half Set is the lowest barrier-to-entry product in the VIDACASA lineup — and the most operationally simple. Two GN1/2 buffetware units, each compatible with the SteamShot S30 water-activated heat cartridge. No battery to charge. No cord to plug in. No fuel canister to replace.
The SteamShot S30 cartridge activates in 60 seconds when water is added. It produces controlled, flameless heat through a chemical exothermic reaction — the same principle used in military field rations, but engineered for commercial foodservice temperatures. Each cartridge holds food at temperature for 60–90 minutes, making it ideal for events that don't require extended holding.
The GN1/2 format means the Instant Set fits standard half-size GN pans — one of the most universally stocked formats in commercial catering. Matte black finish. Polycarbonate lid. A complete instant buffetware station weighs 650g fully assembled with the cartridge loaded.
