Our take on the Choice Economy 8 Qt. Full Size Stainless Steel Chafer

The Choice Economy is a full-size, 8-quart rectangular chafer in stainless steel, built for buffet lines, catered events and large family gatherings. It holds a standard full-size food pan, comes with a lid, frame and fuel can holder, and its integrated platform holds up to two fuel cans. It is a basic, budget-minded chafer: it does the job of keeping food hot and serving a crowd, but it lacks the heavier gauge steel, welded frame and roll-top lid of pricier chafers. Buyers rate it highly for value and capacity, while some note thin metal and a lid that needs a steady hand.

Questions and answers

Does it include a food pan?
The chafer comes with the lid, frame and fuel can holder. It takes a standard full-size food pan, but check the listing for whether a pan is included.
How many people does an 8-quart chafer serve?
An 8-quart full-size pan holds roughly 30 to 50 servings of a side dish or sliced meat, depending on portion size.
Can I use it with two fuel cans?
Yes. The integrated platform holds up to two fuel cans, which helps keep a full pan hot through a long event.
Is it dishwasher safe?
The stainless steel parts can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher, but hand drying helps prevent water spots and keeps the finish bright.
How does it compare with a roll-top chafer?
A roll-top lid lets servers keep the lid open without setting it down, but it costs more. This lift-off lid model is simpler and lighter.
Is it sturdy enough for weekly catering?
It is fine for occasional use and light catering. For heavy weekly use, a welded, heavier-gauge chafer will hold up better.
