How long do disposable chafing dishes keep food warm?
two to six hours
Chafing dishes (a.k.a. chafers) are made to keep food warm – from two to six hours – and they are the most affordable and convenient way to heat your delicious buffet items.
Do all chafing dishes need water?
All chafing dishes (or chafers for short) have three main elements; a frame, a water pan, and a cover/lid.
Regardless of the type or size, chafing dishes use water as a medium to transfer heat from the heat source. Chafers should not be used for cooking food, they are meant to keep food hot or warm.
