Frequently asked questions

Chafing dish or bain marie — which do I need?

On a buffet line they do the same job; a chafing dish is the portable fuel or electric version, a bain marie the plumbed or plug-in well unit. Tell us the service and we'll match it.

Fuel or electric chafing dishes?

Fuel chafers are portable for off-site events; electric hold temperature steadily for a fixed hotel buffet. Both are available.

Wet or dry well?

Wet wells (water bath) are gentler for sauces; dry wells suit food that shouldn't pick up moisture. We'll advise by your menu.

How long do they hold food safe?

Kept topped up and lit, they hold service temperature for a typical buffet window; follow your own food-safety timing.

Do they come with pans and frames?

Most sets include the frame, water pan and food pan; check the item for what's included.
