What types of buffet chafers are available?

The various buffet chafer shapes are designed for serving specific meal varieties. One of the most standard dish shapes is the rectangular chafer, which is often used for entrees, while round chafing dishes are more suitable for desserts, sauces, and sides. Conversely, half-round catering chafers are best for side dishes or appetizers. Sleek, modern oval buffet chafers serve entrees, and square chafers, the least common type, are most complementary to establishments with contemporary atmospheres, serving sides and appetizers.

When choosing a chafer cover, it is important to keep your serving method in mind. The most popular kinds of chafing dish covers are roll top, lift-off, and hinged lids. These covers keep the product moist and hot, their design directly affecting the guest experience since they interact with the equipment themselves. Dome or lift-off covers feature a handle on top of the lid that lets guests lift off the chafer completely. Most include a cover holder, so employees and customers have a place to set the lid when the chafer is in use. Customers do not need to hold or remove the lid from a retractable or roll-top cover, so they are great for buffets. These covers usually have front handles, simplifying use, and some models offer two-sided service with a design that can be retracted on both sides. Most have a 90- or 180-degree opening, often coming with slide locks that keep the cover in place. However, roll tops that only flip down 90 degrees cannot provide two-sided service. Most models of hinged cover provide a stay-open feature at 45- or 90-degree angles, and some can even be lifted off completely. Slow-closing hinge models cause less wear and tear on the equipment and close more quietly and gently than other covers.

The clear windows in glass top covers let customers see the product without having to open the lid, helping to prevent heat loss from the cover being opened and closed on a regular basis as guests check the contents. Server convenience and safety are enhanced by lids with coated handles. These covered handles are often coated with or constructed of nylon to help prevent burns and provide an easier grip.

Catering chafer finishes are all about aesthetics, tying the presentation of an environment together. Each finish sets a different tone for establishments, and the various colors and textures create new foodservice narratives. Mirror polish chafing dish finishes have a reflective and shiny appearance. They elevate the atmosphere of catered events, but fingerprints collect on them easily, so they must be regularly cleaned with a microfiber cloth. Satin finishes are not reflective and have a smooth texture that does not require constant polishing. On the other hand, the surfaces of matte finishes, are not reflective or shiny, so food is the main feature of the unit. Some catering chafers have a dimpled texture that gives them the appearance of hand-hammered copper, which is ideal for events with a more modern theme.

Similar to finishes, buffet chafer trim styles are designed to enhance the display of an establishment's initial décor. The three main types are brass, gold, and chrome. Brass trim has dark yellow accents, complementing silver chafers. Gold trim creates a striking presentation on silver chafing dish bodies, and chrome trim provides a modern look for contemporarily decorated establishments.
