Chafing Dishes & Portable Warming

Chafing dishes solve a specific problem. Your catering an event, a buffet, or a function room and you need food to stay hot without a fixed counter. Alcohol burners or electric heat keeps the temperature. The GN pan sits on top people serve themselves. It is straightforward but you need the right fuel. Electric ones are more reliable but your tethered to a socket.

Trade Insight

Chafing dishes work best when you have tested the setup before. Run a dummy service with the food your serving. Electric versus alcohol heat makes a difference depending on the room temperature and how long service runs. Some venues ban naked flame so check that before you commit to burner models.
