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.

Strong and reliable, the Economy chafer series from Choice is the perfect go-to serving solution for foodservice operations. Not only is every chafer made of stainless steel for maximum durability, but each chafer comes with a frame, food pan, water pan, cover, and fuel holders, so you’ll have everything thing you need. This series offers both full and half size chafers. The full size model is available with either a standard, folding, or stackable frame. Each one features broad legs for ample stability and integrated side handles for easy carrying. The folding frame easily collapses for maximum space-efficiency, while the stackable frame nests with others for convenient storage. Each cover easily lifts from its food pan with a long, comfortable handle, and beneath the pan, the fuel holders ensure that heat is properly distributed for quality hot holding. Crafted for convenience and durability, Choice Economy chafers are sleek, professional, and perfect for commercial use.

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!

    Buy these. I first hesitated to buy these because I wasn't sure of the quality or even the need for 4 qt. I used these in our catering business they bring an elegance to any event.
    from The J Spot on
    This product works great for serving small groups. The price of the equipment is very reasonable and it keeps the product hot and ready to serve. We love to use it for dips and appetizers.
    from Common Grounds on
    I purchased this for my sons wedding. Well made chafer for 1/2 size trays. I did have to contact Custer service for one item to be replaced. Very pleasant to deal with on getting my replacement.

    The half chafer works perfect for small parties and deliveries. Instead of having to use a large chafer with two half pans this makes the buffet look much nicer.
    from Russell Morin Fine Catering on
    very good catering equipment , stainless steel that wont rust. 4 quarts enough to serve for your party. or just double the quantity to fit your serve needs.
    on
    This is a well-priced chafing dish that works as it should. Keeps products warm without drying them out too much or burning them. We used the dish successfully for Apple Crisp and Brownies so far.

    I bought these for my daughter's engagement party. I was worried about keeping the food warm throughout the party and these worked really good. Love the smaller size for side dishes. I even put ice in one of them to keep salads cold.
    on
    Great Chafing dishes for basic use. Easy to store and stackable. Definitely an economy use chafing dish. Durable for the price, have lasted for over 3 years
    from the little big cup on
    These are the best things I ever purchase. I used them for my husband and kids birthday parties and Graduation and anniversary ... love everything about them.
    from Residents on
    Product arrived quickly. Everything was in excellent condition. No bent parts or dings. Won't be used until the end of October for my wedding. These things look professional.
    from mr. pepe on
    These are great for our monthly catering event. They are very sturdy, even on rickety tables. The only complaint is that they don't stack very easily.
    from The Food Connection on
    Its great for the price, but only the half pans that come with it fit inside nicely. My standard 1/2 pans do not sit all the way in the chafer
    from Sweet Potato Catering on
    Thank you for your review, Katie! We are sorry this Choice Economy 4 Qt. Half Size Stainless Steel Chafer has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

    Love love love these! They are so cute but also sturdy, easy to transport and made out of quality materials. Would definitely purchase again, although I won't need to for quite a while due to the quality.
    from Panoptic Catering on
    these chafers are perfect for anything but i love to use them for my dips and to keep appetizers warm and they are great for the price

    The small change is an excellent product that my client loves to rent. It keeps hot sauces and we use them for other decoration projects.
    from LSBK on
    If your just starting a catering business these are great for the price. They clean up easy and have a great look. Id buy them again.
    from barney famiely diner on
    The Choice brand economy style four quart chafer is terrific and well made. The small size chafer is great for smaller events and does a great job keeping the food warm. The stainless steel makeup is great and makes it easy to keep clean.
    from Oak Ridge Planation on
    Great set for those applications where a full chafer isn’t necessary. Elegant appearance, yet economical. Complete with food pan, water pan, lid and stand. Ready to use! Somewhat confused that this product is more expensive than the equivalent full size one, but still a great value.
