Our take on the Vollrath 46518 Full Size Chafer w/ Lift-off Lid & Chafing Fuel Heat

The Vollrath 46518 Orion is a full-size chafing dish built from heavy-duty 18/8 stainless steel with a high mirror finish. It holds 9 quarts in the food pan and uses two chafing fuel holders to keep food warm at serving temperature. A built-in cover holder keeps the lift-off dome within reach when you serve, so you are not hunting for a place to set it down. It suits caterers, banquet halls and buffet lines that serve large batches and want a durable, easy-to-serve chafer. Against lighter economy chafers, the 18/8 steel and lift-off lid with holder are the main advantages; it is heavier and bulkier to store.
