Chafing Dishes

Commercial chafing dishes are ideal for buffets and mobile catering events when foods need to be kept warm once cooked. Using indirect heat in the form of fuel placed below a pan of water, onto which the dish of cooked food is placed, contents are maintained at appropriate temperatures and ready for service. The hot water gently yet effectively delivers even heat distribution for uniform warming of foods.

Chafing Dishes & Fuel for Food Warming in Style

Rather than for use behind the scenes chafing dishes are stylish in design, perfect not only for functional warming but also as an attractive presentation and display piece.

 

All chafers are supplied with lids, not only to retain heat but also protect foods during buffet service. A stand or frame is also a common feature to raise the dish away from the source of heat.

 

Many chafing dishes are designed to be compatible with catering gastronorm pans, meaning that quantities of food can be quickly and conveniently moved directly from cooking equipment to the warming and servery area.

 

Chafing dishes are traditionally fuelled by an open, visible flame however induction chafers are an increasingly popular option, being safe, effective and, in some cases, more compact. Induction chafers are manufactured to conduct heat and are designed to be used in conjunction with induction plates.

 

The portability and cost-effectiveness of chafing dishes make these servery and display appliances an essential addition to every caterer's arsenal. With a range of designs and sizes on offer there is plenty of choice to suit any style of business.
