Helpful Tips

• You will need a serving utensil for each serving dish.
• Never add fresh food to a chafing dish on the buffet table. Take out the used food pan and replace with a full one.
• Rectangular chafing dishes are good for foods that are to be kept flat such as chicken breasts, fish fillets and lasagna.
• Stainless steel food pans can be placed in the oven to keep food warm.
• Round chafing dishes are used for sauces, casserole type entrees, and some vegetables.
• Light fuel 15 minutes before opening the buffet. Purchase extra fuel to cover the full time the buffet will be open. Allow one buffet line per 50 guests.
