Our take on the American Metalcraft MESA72C Full Size Chafer with Roll-top Lid, Copper

The American Metalcraft MESA72C is a full-size rectangular chafer with an 8-quart capacity, a hammered copper finish and a roll-top lid that stays open without a prop. It holds a full-size food pan over chafing fuel, so it suits buffet lines and catered events rather than home kitchens. At 27.13 by 21.25 by 19.5 inches it takes up real table space. It is hand wash only, and the copper finish is the main thing setting it apart from plain stainless chafers.

Questions and answers

Is the MESA72C worth it over a stainless chafer?
You pay more for the hammered copper look. If the finish matters for your event design, it is a reasonable buy. If not, a plain stainless full-size chafer does the same job for less.
What pan size does it take?
It is a full-size chafer, so it takes standard full-size food pans and the matching water pan. Check that your pans fit the 27.13 by 21.25 inch body before buying.
Does the roll-top lid stay open on its own?
Yes. The roll-top design holds the lid open so guests can serve themselves with both hands. It also keeps the lid out of the way when you refill the pan.
How is it heated?
It runs on chafing fuel canisters under a water pan. Fuel is not included, so budget for cans and keep a spare on hand for long events.
How do I clean the copper finish?
Hand wash only. Use mild soap and a soft cloth, dry it right away, and polish occasionally to keep the hammered copper from tarnishing.
When is the price lowest?
Catering equipment tends to dip during off-season months and around holiday sales. Compare the current price against its recent range before buying.
