FAQs

What Capacity Catering Urn Should I Choose For An Event?

The standard calculation is about 1.5 to 2 cups of hot water per guest.

- For 50 guests, a 10L catering urn is ideal.
- For 100 guests, a 20L hot water boiler is recommended.
- For 200 guests, opt for a 40L commercial urn. Always size up if the event lasts longer than 3 hours or if drinks are the main focus.

Are Catering Urns Energy Efficient To Run?

Yes, modern stainless steel hot water boilers are highly efficient. After the initial "rapid boil" phase, the thermostat-controlled warming element only uses minimal power to maintain the temperature, making it far more energy-efficient for large volume water heating than repeatedly boiling multiple kettles. Look for models with insulated walls.

What Does The 'Boil Dry Protection' Feature Do On A Water Boiler?

Boil dry protection is a crucial catering equipment safety feature. If the large water boiler accidentally runs out of water while plugged in, this feature automatically cuts the power to the heating element, preventing damage to the element and reducing the risk of fire. This is mandatory for any commercial hot water urn.

Can These Urns Be Used To Heat Drinks Other Than Water?

While the primary function is for heating and dispensing hot water (for tea bags, instant coffee, etc), they can be used to hold pre-heated liquids like soup or mulled wine, provided the urn is specified for multi-liquid use. However, you should never boil or heat liquids containing milk or sugar in a standard water urn, as this will damage the heating element and is extremely difficult to clean.

What Is The Average Boil Time For A Commercial Catering Urn?

The boil time varies significantly based on capacity and wattage.

- A 10L hot water urn typically takes 25-35 minutes to reach boiling point from cold.

- A 30L high-capacity water boiler can take up to 60-90 minutes. Always pre-fill and plug in well before your event starts.
