Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What grade of stainless steel is used in construction?
A: Body and pans are 18/8 food-grade stainless steel (equivalent to 304 grade). Sufficient for commercial food contact use and repeated washing cycles.
Q: What fuel type and burn time should I expect?
A: Designed for standard 200g gel fuel cells or liquid wick burners. Single gel cell provides approximately 2–2.5 hours of heat. Dual burner operation recommended for thick sauces or rice dishes.
Q: Can I use this chafing dish without the water pan?
A: Water pan is required for safe operation. Direct flame contact with food pan causes scorching and uneven heat. Water bath maintains consistent temperature and prevents dry-out.
Q: Does the 9-litre capacity include the water pan volume?
A: 9 litres refers to food pan capacity only. Water pan holds approximately 2 litres and should be filled to within 2 cm of the rim before lighting fuel.
Q: What is the clearance height with lid closed?
A: Total height is 240mm from base to lid top. Internal food pan depth is approximately 65mm. Suitable for sliced meats, vegetables, pasta and sauced dishes but not whole roasted joints.
