Is this chafing dish set NSF certified?

Yes. The set carries NSF certification, so it is listed for commercial food-service use and meets public-health standards for equipment that holds food.

What is included in the four-piece set?

Each of the four units comes with a water pan, an 8-quart food pan, a dome lid and a fuel holder. You supply the chafing fuel.

How many people does an 8-quart pan serve?

An 8-quart pan holds roughly 30 to 40 side-dish servings or about 20 to 25 entree portions. Four pans cover a buffet for a large group.

Can I use it for home parties?

Yes, but it is sized for commercial buffets. For a small dinner it takes up more table space and is heavier to wash than a single home chafing dish.

Does it work with standard chafing fuel cans?

It uses standard fuel holders for gel or wick cans. Keep water in the water pan so the food pan heats gently instead of scorching.

How should I clean and store it?

Wash the pans and lids by hand with mild detergent and dry them promptly to avoid water spots. Stack the pans with cloth or paper between them to prevent scratching.
