Excellent chafing dish - great quality,

This review is from: Winware 8 Qt Stainless Steel Chafer, Full Size Chafer (Kitchen)
I bought this chafing dish for the holidays anticipating lots of family to entertain. It made keeping food warm for a crowd an easy task! This is an excellent chafing dish and heavy duty quality. Food doesn't dry out and the two compartments for fuel work very well and control the amount of heat to the pan of water below the food. The pan that holds the food holds a generous 24 cups of food and could probably hold more than this. This chafer is an excellent purchase if you want to serve a crowd of people.

This review is from: Winware 8 Qt Stainless Steel Chafer, Full Size Chafer (Kitchen)
I've go to admit, I have quite the collection of chafing dishes. Several models and sizes, do the amount of entertaining we do. I have some that cost a few hundred dollars, and I also purchased 2 of these at what I consider to be a very reasonable price. These chafer's function just as well as my very expensive chafer's. However, at a fraction of the cost. These chafer's will also accommodate all the optional chafing insert pans that my expensive chafer's use as well. So, these are very versatile depending on your food serving needs.
I noticed a comment regarding the proper water level to use, and maintain. Usually 3" of water is enough to maintain a consistent hot/safe food serving temperature, for about 4 to 4.5 hours of in use time. Its best to very HOT tap water when filling your chafer, as it takes less time and fuel/sterno to heat up the unit. Once the water and food items are HOT. I usually run the unit with only one sterno/fuel cell (centered). And this not only reduces excess steam, but also allows the unit to warm food longer, about 6 hours. Without the need to add additional water. It can be a bit of a task, if you need to add water, especially if the food trays still have food in them. I use my chafer's for entertaining indoors as well as outdoors. Once you start using chafer's, you're going to find, you have a lot more time to spend with your guests. Great price, great product. Enjoy!

Food Warmer,

This review is from: Winware 8 Qt Stainless Steel Chafer, Full Size Chafer (Kitchen)
I purchased 2 of these chafers for a party I was hosting at home. They worked very well at keeping my food warm and were the perfect size. The box said it came with 2 handles, a plastic black one that already came attached and a stainless steel one; however, the stainless steel handle was not included. Not a big deal since I wasn't anticipating it when I ordered them. At the end of the night, I found that one of the handles has broken off as well. The plastic handle doesn't seem to be sufficient for a lot of use, but hopefully an easy fix by going to a hardware store buying a replacement. Overall, I was very happy with the product that I received for the price that I paid.
