How it works ?

There are two main sections involved when you are speaking about stainless steel chafing dishes. These are the two pans that are designed in a nested arrangement. Essentially the design is a modified double boiler.The bottom pan functions as the boiler and it holds the water. The top pan, or the blazer, will hold your foods. Stainless steel chafing dishes also have a wire frame for support when they are in use. The frame holds the chafing dishes above the table surface. This allows a heating source to be placed under these pans. The heat can be controlled and as a result you are able to warm the water to the desired temperature.

For the heat source most people use "canned heat" products such as Sterno. Other items can be used including electric heating units and even alcohol lamps.

The heat source and the wide variety of chafing dishes are generally used as a way to keep foods warm until serving time. However some people actually cook with chafing dishes. Today traditional styles of this type of cookware also include a long handle that is practical as well as functional.

How to use chafing dishes:

The first step in learning how to use chafing dishes is to familiarize oneself with the components and structure of the dish. All food chafers are made up of 3 basic components - the flame, the water compartment (or pan) and the cover or lid.  The water pan holds the hot water that is used to warm the food indirectly in form of steam. That way, the food can retain the same level of warmth from the start of the party to the end.

 The next step on how to use chafing dishes is setting up the chafing dish.  The dish should always be placed on a flat surface to ensure its stability. Put hot water into the water pan until it is about 2 inches or ¾ full.  You should always ensure that the water compartment has adequate water as long as the heat source is on to prevent equipment damage and to also prevent the food from charring.

The next step is to fix the sterno burners in their rightful place, at the round openings located in between the ‘legs' of the unit. If the dish does not have a slot to hold up the burners, use a sheet pan to hold them up instead. This protects the surfaces on which the burners are placed.Once the burners are in their correct position, you can now light them. Use the food chafers manufacturer's specific instructions to make sure you regulate the heat correctly. The ideal is to use medium intensity. Alcohol burners usually have a wick that is pushed in or pulled out.
