Excerpt from How to Use a Chafing Dish
The chafing dish is generally looked upon as a luxury, and its use as a passing fad. With a more intimate knowledge of its capabilities, this idea will vanish. In the one item of domestic economy - made-over dishes - its value is unquestioned, and should place it among the necessary utensils of the household. The fact that there is no necessity for lighting the lamp until the last moment, and that it can be extinguished as soon as the materials are cooked, is a great factor in its favor, and makes alcohol really a cheap fuel. The left-overs of beef, mutton, chicken or duck may be converted in a few minutes into the most dainty sorts of viands. To the housewife, who keeps but one maid, it is indeed a helping hand. The Monday lunch or supper is quickly gotten without the use of stove or kitchen; and so again on maid's day out, the Sunday night supper, and the still more fashionable twelve o'clock Sunday breakfast.
