How to Use (Important Instructions)
1. Always Add Water First
Before lighting any fuel:
- Fill the water pan with hot water (½″–1″ deep)
- Ensure the bottom is fully covered, but do not overfill
✔ Using hot water helps food reach and maintain serving temperature faster
2. Insert Food Pans
- Place food trays into the chafing dish after adding water
- Ensure pans sit securely and evenly
3. Light Fuel LAST
Only light the Sterno/chafing fuel once:
- Water is properly added
- Food pans are in place
- Lid is ready to close
4. Monitor Water Levels
For longer events:
- Check water levels every 1–2 hours
- Refill with hot water as needed
⚠ If water evaporates completely, the pan may overheat or scorch
5. Adjust Heat as Needed
- Start with full/open flame to heat up
- Once food is hot, reduce to medium if adjustable
✔ This maintains temperature without overheating or drying out food
Perfect For:
Buffets, weddings, catering events, corporate functions, and large gatherings.
