Durable Construction

Made completely out of corrosion resistant 18/8 stainless steel, this chafer is built to withstand the demands of your catering outfit or buffet line.

Mirror Finish

Each chafer features a highly-polished mirror finish that will shimmer in the ambient lighting of your venue. With its high quality finish, this chafer will add to the presentation value of any of the sides or entrees that you are serving!

Stylish Lid Handle

The lid's decorative handle accents the chafer, while providing safe and easy access to your food. Additionally, it's elevated off the lid to keep it cooler so customers and staff don't burn their hands when touching the handle.

Beveled Legs

The beveled legs provide optimum stability to keep your chafer firmly planted even if the table gets bumped by customers or service carts.

Elevated Fuel Stand

The fuel stand is positioned close to the water pan. This helps maintain your food's serving temperature for hours.

Customer Q&A Ask a Question

My stainless steel item has fingerprints and scratches and I can't seem to get it clean. What can I do?
Try using a microfiber polishing cloth. You may not need to use any chemicals to get rid of the scratches and fingerprints. If they are not easily removed by the dry cloth, our Noble Chemical stainless steel cleaner should do the trick!
Can I put the chafer's food pan in the oven?
Yes, the food pan included with this chafer can safely be used in the oven.
Is this chafer dishwasher safe?
While the food pan, water pan, and cover are dishwasher safe, the chafer stand and fuel holders should be hand washed. Wash with soapy water and a microfiber cloth for best results.

Get the most out of your chafers with Choice chafer accessories. Stainless steel food pans are a great way to serve and display all of your delicious foods. Coming in a variety of sizes ranging from full size to 1/3 size, you can use any of these pans at your buffet or steam table. You can fit two ½ size or three 1/3 size pans in your Choice chafers to offer even more options. Choice also offers different kinds of chafer fuel. These canisters have either a 2, 4, or 6 hour burn time, and many are environmentally friendly. The gel fuel is great for low-profile chafers, and the wick fuel offers safer use in high-traffic areas. Use Choice chafer accessories to effortlessly complete your stylish chafer displays.

Serving hot food at a buffet, breakfast bar, or off-site venue requires efficient, reliable supplies. Choice offers a great line of chafers perfect for these and other applications, with economy, mid-range, and high-end options to choose from. Choice Economy chafers are made of stainless steel and come with a frame, pan, and lift-off lid. Plus, each frame features built-in side handles, which make transporting the chafer easy. For a more stylized buffet, Choice Classic chafers are the perfect option! Each dish is made of 18/8 stainless steel with a mirror finish, making the Classic series both durable and great for formal events and venues. These mid-range chafers are designed with elegant features, from ornate lid handles to beveled legs. Each chafer also includes a lift-off lid, frame, food pan, and water pan. Choice Deluxe and Choice Supreme chafers are other mid-range lines that deliver a different aesthetic. They’re made of stainless steel with eye-catching, gold or chrome accents. These accents add a touch of elegance while keeping the design sleek with straight lines and rounded edges. The stainless steel construction features a mirrored finish, and the round, oval, and rectangular shapes ensure versatility for any business. As an added benefit, most chafers include a roll-top lid. The Choice Deluxe line even offers soup chafers, with lift-off lids, and are designed to accommodate sauces, soups, and glazes. Like Choice Economy and Choice Classic chafers, food pans, and water pans come standard. For high-end applications, Choice Supreme offers induction chafers that boast glass tops and soft-close lids; these are perfect for use with portable or drop-in induction ranges. Standard Choice Supreme chafers are even available with a pine wood stand and built-in fuel drawer. Whatever your needs and whatever your menu, Choice provides chafing dishes to help you serve with confidence and style!

    The round chafers are so elegant on a buffet. The dish holds a lot of food, is easy to assemble and clean. Food didn’t stick and was easy to heat, serve and clean. I recommend the chafer as I will buy at least two more soon.

    Beautiful and spacious chafing dish with ornate handles and top. Definitely has a royal look to it (with very affordable price). I bought 3 of these to use at my next home entertaining event. Capacity for a good amount of food as the inner dish is quite deep.

    Very elegant chafer and a great buy for the price. It is a nice shape easy to identify and it is a great size 5qt right in between 4qt and 8qt. I find myself using this one a lot. It cleans nicely and is easy to store due to shape.

    I was a bit hesitant about ordering these from an online source, however, when I received them, they exceeded all my expectations! The elegance of the product is by far my favorite feature - you can use it for any occasion. I used it for a graduation party as well as a large family dinner. The chafing dish is stainless steel so the clean up is super easy, holds the food hot for a long while, and looks fancy enough to have at a wedding reception! I will definitely be using these at my wedding in a few months!
