Chafing Dishes

Chafing Dishes for Serving Meals In Casual & Formal Settings

Chafing dishes are essential smallwares used in buffet-style serving to warm hot-served meals using gentle, indirect heat from a chafing fuel. Electric chafing dishes are also available as a more consistent and adjustable heat source. A chafing dish buffet set typically includes a metal stand, a food pan, a water pan, a cover, and a fuel type. The chafing pans are heated with canned fuel or an electric heater. Chafers come in various shapes, sizes, and cover types.

• The most common shape is rectangular, ideal for main dishes. Round chafing dishes are often used for soups and sides. Oval chafers are generally preferred for their sleeky, aesthetic looks.
• You can choose the chafing dish cover depending on the size of the crowd you serve. Roll-top covers are more self-serve friendly, providing large parties easy, one-hand access to meals. You can choose lift-off covers if you have staff attending the serving job.
