Chafers
Food chafers hold food at safe serving temperatures until it can be eaten. Buffet chafers are a core part of most attractive buffets, providing heat, serving containers, and an elegant aesthetic throughout the course of service. More
Roll-top chafers feature domed tops that rotate back to reveal the food held inside, and are ideal for self-serve buffet lines.
Hinged lids lift up easily thanks to a built-in hinge, allowing easy access to the food stored in the chafer.
These lids are pulled off of the chafer to access the food inside. The top-mounted handles may be made of matching metal or plastic.
The classic serving chafer – heated with electricity, liquid chafer fuel, or even induction – adds functionality to serving lines, conference halls, and event spaces. Induction and electric chafer sets offer safe, energy-efficient alternatives to venues that have access to electricity to operate them. Cans of chafer fuel can be taken nearly anywhere, providing safe heat wherever you need to serve food. No matter which type you choose, chafers are available in a number of styles and designs, from disposable aluminum foil systems to those with gold-plated accents.
In many catering and buffet settings, rows of chafer sets are utilized to serve food while keeping it hot. Keeping food hot is necessary to prevent pathogens from growing in the food between the time it's safely cooked and the time it can be served. Food chafers provide this heat in tandem with attractive stylings, so a good set of buffet chafers can function as the centerpiece of any buffet. Chafers come in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and styles, so every operator can find a set that fits their establishment and preferences.
