I would like to steam hamburger and hotdog buns at a high school concession stand using a large chafing dish. Is there any way to do this without the buns getting soggy? |

Linda, a chafing dish is a solid pan over a water bath so it does not provide any steam, unless you put water in the solid pan and then add a rack or steamer insert over that water. You might rent a bun steamer, or you might simply use a roaster or chafing dish as a warmer. |

How do you use a chafing dish as a warmer? Right now we put water in the solid pan under the pan we put the buns in and cover the items and eventually the bread gets real soggy. |

My only suggestions, don't put so much water in the lower pan, seal the upper with foil, not just the lid... |
