Four rectangular chafers with folding stainless frames in a gold finish. You get two full-size 7.5 litre food pans and four half-size 4 litre pans, so the set can run four separate dishes or two large ones and two pairs of sides. Water pans, lids and a serving clip are in the box. The maker rates the set for at least eight people, and the frames fold for storage.

Setting up

Unfold the frame, drop the water pan in, add hot water, set the food pan on top and light the fuel underneath. Fuel is not included.

Four dishes, one table, still hot.

A buffet lives or dies on whether the food is still hot when the last person reaches it. This is the gear that keeps it that way.

Each chafer is a folding stainless frame holding a full-size water pan, with a food pan sitting in the water above the fuel. The water spreads the heat so nothing scorches and nothing goes cold at the edges. Two of the four come with a single full-size 7.5 litre pan for the main dish; the other two come with a pair of 4 litre half pans each, which is how you get rice and vegetables, or two curries, from one chafer.

The gold finish looks the part on a wedding table, and the food and water pans lift out for washing while the frame wipes clean. The frames fold to save storage space between events.

Goes with.

What this usually leaves the warehouse with.

Close view of the gold frame, water pan lip and fuel flame

Water does the work.

The food pan never touches the flame. It sits in a full-size water pan, and the fuel heats the water, which heats the food gently from underneath. That is why a chafer can hold a curry through a long service without a skin forming or the bottom catching. Fill the water pan with hot water from the urn and it holds temperature from the first guest to the last.

  • Full-size 11.5 L water pan under every food pan
  • Even heat, no scorching at the edges
  • Rolled edges, nothing sharp

Two ways to fill four chafers.

Two chafers carry a full-size 7.5 litre pan each, for the dishes people take the most of. The other two carry a pair of 4 litre half pans, so one chafer can hold rice and dhal, or roast vegetables and gravy, side by side. The serving clip in the box handles pasta, steak, soup and chicken.

  • Two full pans, four half pans
  • Lids on the pans
  • Serving clip included
The set folded and nested in the back of a catering van

Packs down for the van.

The frames fold, and the food pans and water pans lift out, so a set of four takes far less room than four rigid chafers. For a caterer that is the difference between one trip and two; for a hall or a church kitchen it means the set lives on one shelf between events.

  • Folding frames, easy to assemble
  • Pans lift out for washing
  • Set of four, 16.8 kg

How much it holds.

Capacities are to the brim. Fill food pans to about two thirds for serving.

Questions we get asked

Does it come with fuel?

No. It is heated by chafing fuel, which you buy separately from any catering supplier.

Can I use it for cold food?

Yes. The maker says it can hold cold items as long as they are not heated; leave the fuel out. It is designed first for hot food.

Can I wash the pans?

Yes. The food pan and water pan lift out for washing, and the frame wipes clean after each use. The whole set is stainless steel.

Will the gold finish wear off?

It is a coloured finish on stainless steel. Hand wash and avoid scourers on the frames to keep it looking new.

How many people does a set of four serve?

The maker rates the set for at least eight people. How far it stretches depends on how many dishes you run and how full you keep the pans, but four chafers is the number most small caterers start with.
