What is a chafing dish？
O chafing dish is a professional catering equipment that uses indirect heating to maintain the food temperature, and is often used in buffets, self-service hot pots, banquets and other occasions that require a long supply of hot food. By heating with hot water, chafing dishes can keep the food at an ideal temperature between 60°C and 70°C, which prevents dishes from overheating and cooling, ensuring taste and food safety. A well-structured, stable and durable chafing dish is the key equipment to meet the catering needs of high efficiency, standardization and high-quality service.
How does a chafing dish work?
A chafing dish is not heated by a direct flame or electric tray, but by using water vapor to heat the pan indirectly through hot water in the bottom tray, so as to ensure that the food is always warm but not boiling. This makes a chafing dish particularly suitable for keeping cooked foods warm, such as fried rice, curries, stews, soups, hot noodles, etc., to ensure taste and food safety.
Key benefits include:
- Avoid overheating: Food will not come into direct contact with open flames or electric heating elements.
- Uniform heat distribution: no risk of local high-temperature coking
- Energy saving and environmental protection: high fuel efficiency
- Stable and long-lasting: It can last for more than 2 hours
