towel or abrasive cleaner on your 2 Station Buffet & Warming Tray™. The chafing
dishes and the pan holder are dishwasher safe – however, your PC lids will sustain
surface scratching over time, to avoid this, you may elect to submerge in soapy
water and rinse by hand.

remove food and liquid, preparing your buffet for the next use.
