ABSTRACT:
A rugged, flatly folding, portable chafing dish assembly is comprised of a cover, food pan, water pan, collapsible stand and heat source. The collapsible stand is rectangular and is comprised of four rigid plates forming the sides of the rectangular stand which are rotatably coupled together by means of a flatly folding piano hinge. The hinge is integrally formed with the sides and can be disassembled for cleaning. The two lateral sides of the stand are identical and interchangeable, as are the two end sides. The rectangular stand is provided with apertures through the lateral and end sides, both for air access to create a heat draft for the burner source when placed within the stand, as well as access to the burners when the chafing dish assembly is assembled. A rigid rectangular tray extends the length of the stand and connects to the end sides along an access aperture edge thereby rendering the otherwise collapsible rectangular stand rigid. Additional rigidity of the chafing dish assembly is realized when the water pan and food pan are disposed in the stand in as nested fashion.
