Stainless Steel Chafing Dish

Please read all instructions before using your Chantal Chafing Dish. Save these instructions.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS & INSTRUCTIONS

  • DO NOT LEAVE AN OPEN FLAME UNATTENDED.

  • DO NOT USE ALCOHOL FUEL IN THIS BURNER. Serious injury could occur.

  • Chantal's tempered GLASS LIDS are shatter-resistant and oven safe up to 375°F/190°C, but avoid direct exposure to a hot burner or flame, and avoid extreme temperature changes. Do not use abrasive cleaners on the lid that can scratch. Note: Do not use the glass lid if you notice a crack in it.

  • When using your pan in the oven, wear an oven mitt to remove it as the knob and handles will be hot.

  • Steam escaping from the lid can burn you. Open the lid carefully so that rising steam does not come in contact with your face or hands, and wear an Oven Mitt to protect your hand.

Cleaning Tips

  • Before first use, wash in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. After daily use, wash in dishwasher or by hand.

  • The glass lid, food pan insert, water pan and stain less stand are all dishwasher safe, however to get a spotless shine, we recommend rinsing in hot water and hand drying.

  • You may want to occasionally clean the exterior of your Chafing dish with Chantal Stainless Steel and Aluminum Cleaner (found on our website, www.chantal.com). The use of our Chantal Stainless Steel and Aluminum Cleaner will clean tarnished surfaces due to overheating or gas flames and will clean food film residue from the food pan. Note: DO NOT use steel wool, scouring pads, oven cleaners, bleach or strong abrasive cleaners. These products will permanently scratch the stainless steel and glass.

  • For the occasional dried-on or burnt food, mix 2 teaspoons Arm & Hammer® Super Washing Soda (found in laundry detergent section of your grocer), 2 teaspoons baking soda and water. Simmer ingredients and water in the pan for 15-20 minutes, let pan cool to room temperature, then rinse. Repeat if necessary.

Useful Hints

  • Chantal's Chafing Dish is designed for cooking and serving. Note: The stainless steel Food Pan Insert and Water Pan can be used in the oven, but it is not recommended for stovetop use.

  • Preheat large recipes on stove in a traditional cooking pot then pour into stainless food pan. Or heat in microwave in a microwave-safe dish.

  • Always place a minimum of 1/2" to 3/4" of water in the bottom pan before lighting fuel.

  • Do not allow the lower water pan to burn dry. Check water level periodically.

  • When holding food for extended periods of time, we recommend keeping the lid in place to retain moisture.

  • To sustain proper temperature during use, regulate burner to adjust to desired warmth.

  • Always wear hand protection, such as oven mitts, when handling burner during warming process.

  • To protect the beauty of your pan, avoid strong impact, over-heating and pre-heating empty. <

  • The stainless burner included with the Chantal Chafing Dish is specially designed to accommodate Chantal Burner Paste cartridges or other solid heating fuels (gels), such as Sterno® canned fuel. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL FUEL IN THIS BURNER. SERIOUS INJURY COULD OCCUR.

How To Use Burner Paste

  1. Remove burner cover lid by twisting lid in a counter clockwise direction.

  3. Peel back foil cover carefully and replace burner lid. Align and lock into place firmly by twisting lid clockwise. Proper alignment and locked closure of the lid are important in controlling the flame and heat.

  4. Place burner securely in the base of the stand. Note: For other sizes of solid fuel cans, such as Sterno ® , simply use burner base without lid.

  5. Ignite. CAUTION: THE FLAME WILL NOT BE VISIBLE IN BRIGHT LIGHT. DO NOT PLACE HAND IN FLAME AREA TO CHECK FOR IGNITION.

  6. We recommend using a pot holder when handling burner.
