Round Food Warmer In Stainless Steel For Buffets With Mobile Glass Lid And Vent Diameter Cm.39 Height Cm.27 Capacity Lt.5
Chafing dishes are essential tools for working with buffets and banquets. They perform a double function: they keep hot food hot and cold food fresh. They are equipped with an internal tank, which for hot food contains hot water (bain-marie heating), for cold food it contains ice, cold water and/or cooling elements. They have a lid that can be removable or sliding; sliding lids open 180 or 90°; in the first case the lid slides completely under the upper shelf, in the second case it remains half above. The chafing dishes with 180° opening allow for easier service, are more practical, but have greater heat dispersion; those that open 90 degrees can usually open to either side. Almost all have a base underneath to support solid alcohol or candles, used to keep the hot water at the right temperature during service.
