Using a chafing dish/bain marie is a convenient way of keeping your food warm. It's also easy to set up and can even be used for a small function at home or when you are preparing a meal for guests.
Using a chafer dish with chafer fuel tins:
1. Start by using our 250ml Chafer dish gel
2. Open the can, keeping it away from any open flame.
3. Carefully place it in the receptacle
4. Place the water pan in the frame and fill with about 2cm of HOT water
- Using cold water will add to the pre-heating time
5. Light the chafing fuel using a long reach match or long nose lighter
- For safety, always light the can when in place
6. Cover the water pan until it begins to steam (approximately 20 minutes)
7. Once steaming, place the food pan with hot, fully cooked foods into position and cover
8. After your event, extinguish the chafing fuel with the correct tool and dispose of the can properly, or replace the lid and store it for reuse
Benfits of using chafing fuel and a chafer dish:
1. Chafer dishes will keep your food warm throughout the entire event or function
2. Chafer dishes are hygienic
3. Chafers will upgrade your presentation
4. Easy to use and easy to store away for your next function
