A chafing dish is a type of serving dish designed to maintain food warm during buffet-style events or catered occasions. It typically consists of a metal frame holding one or more deep, rectangular pans, known as chafing pans, over a heat source like a canned fuel burner or electric element. Filled with water, these pans generate steam to keep the food above at a safe, appetizing temperature. Chafing dishes are used to serve a variety of dishes such as pasta, meats, vegetables, and sauces, at events like weddings and banquets.
