Williams Sonoma Chafing Dish

This piece is designed to keep appetizers, sides, or sauces at a consistent, warm serving temperature during intimate gatherings. It is not intended for cooking food from scratch, but rather for maintaining heat once a dish is already prepared.

The integrated holder beneath the vessel accommodates a standard tealight candle. This provides a gentle, low-intensity heat source that prevents food from overcooking or drying out while keeping it warm on the table.

While the hand-hammered copper is visually striking, it is also highly functional. Copper is an excellent conductor of heat, which allows the dish to retain warmth efficiently and distribute it evenly across the base.

This item is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the finish and the tin lining, hand wash the vessel with mild soap and warm water, then dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots on the copper.

Yes, the interior is lined with food-safe tin, which creates a protective barrier between your food and the copper. This makes it safe for serving a variety of dishes, including those with acidic ingredients.

The vessel holds 1.75 quarts, making it ideal for serving side dishes, dips, or sauces for small to medium-sized groups.
