Hot Meals On-Demand: Sterno Products Launches New SpeedHeat Flameless Heating System for Faster, Safer Drop-Off Catering

CORONA, Calif., May 18, 2018

"Drop-off catering is one of the largest areas of growth for us and is one of the most diverse, ranging from business lunches and conference meetings to home entertainment events for family and friends," said Craig Carnes, President of Sterno Products. "Sterno SpeedHeat provides a safe, simple, and fast solution to serving up a deliciously hot experience for the consumer which is consistent with Sterno's 100+ year tradition of keeping food at the ideal serving temperatures."

"We set out to solve three existing challenges in the quick-serve drop-off catering space - the risks associated with unattended open flame, incorrect product setup, and food served at a less than ideal serving temperature. SpeedHeat addresses all of these factors," said Sterno Products' Executive Chef Thaddaeus Smith. "The SpeedHeat system is ideal for quick-serve drop-off catering occasions because it's flameless, easy to setup, low cost, and disposable which doesn't require equipment to be brought back to the host restaurant or caterer."

Sterno Products will be unveiling SpeedHeat at the 2018 National Restaurant Association Show this weekend in Chicago, Ill. at Booth #6912. For more information, visit www.sternopro.com.
