This type of chafing dish is designed to keep food warm for extended periods, making it ideal for serving at buffets, banquets, weddings, family gatherings, and other catering events. It typically consists of a food pan, a water pan (to hold hot water for indirect heating), a fuel holder (for solid fuel or an electric heating element), and a lid, often with a glass top to allow viewing of the food. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance, while gold accents add an elegant touch
