    Can you cook in the food pan. Like bake the food and then put the food pan on the water pan to keep warm? Or do you need to cook the food in another pan and then transfer the food into the food pan.

      Yes you can cook the food in the food pan in the oven and transfer!

    Does the chaffing rack get warm from the sterno? Just wondering if I should caution guests about touching the dis/rack if they go back to get seconds and will be serving themselves. Great video and hope you have a happy Thanksgiving !

    I have 2 chafing pan sets very similar to the one you featured in this video. I’m wondering if foil pans can be placed into the food pan rather than directly over the water pan. My dilemma is that the foil half-pans I baked lasagna in weren’t sturdy enough and collapsed down into the water. The foil pans I used were purchased in a bulk pack from Costco so maybe they aren’t heavy duty enough. Are there different strengths of disposable foil pans? Would the food heat well enough if I placed a full size food pan over the water pan and then two foil half-pans into the food pan?

    • @alekasgettogether
      @alekasgettogether  10 місяців тому

      Hi Linda! I do think it would heat well enough if you have two sternos underneath. But there ARE stronger aluminum pans out there that you should stock up on so two isn't needed.

    Hi, used one for the first time, the lid had alot of condensation which of course fell down to the food below. Tips/tricks to avoid this? Thnx

    • @alekashunk6399

      Unfortunately it’s impossible to prevent this. I’d recommend venting the lid a bit to keep the condensation to a minimum! Or leave it off when guests help themselves

    Hello do you suggest getting the sterno holders if the chafing dishes dont come with them? Just purchased some of the chafing dishes from Sams club and they dont seem to include them.

    • @alekasgettogether
      @alekasgettogether  2 роки тому

      Most do come with so that would be surprising. Do you NEED a holder? No. Just make sure there is a place to put the sterno cans and it is close enough but not too close to the water pan.

      Large chafing dishes kept over low heat with lid. You will have to add water most likely so keep an eye on the levels.

      I answered that at the end of the video! :) Either add aluminum foil and poke holes in it to allow the steam to escape or simply angle the lid so the steam escapes that way. Steam is the enemy!~

    how do you warm up donuts that were made the day before in a chafing dish without them getting soggy?

    • @alekasgettogether
      @alekasgettogether  3 роки тому

      My parents owned a donut shop for 36 years so I’d like to think I have the answer to this question! 🤣 can I ask why you want to warm them up? I’d worry more about the donuts melting if they’re chocolate covered or glazed. Old fashioned cake donuts would be fine in a chafing dish with them being semi-covered but other donuts would be tricky to keep from melting and sticking together.

    We are getting married beginning of December. I am going to make meat, cheese and vegetable lasagna. My thought was to cut slices and put in a serving container and into the chaffing dish. Watching you now that doesn’t seem plausible. Any suggestions will help me to have my perfect reception.

    • @alekasgettogether
      @alekasgettogether  Рік тому +1

      Hi there! I highly suggest baking the lasagna INSIDE a stainless steel chafing dish (make sure it's heavy duty and not cheap). Then cut your squares before placing it directly over your water pan to keep warm!

      Hey! That depends what the food is!! I always recommend adding extra liquid if it makes sense. Also keeping an eye on the heat and maybe having one burner instead of two.
