American Metalcraft MACD3 Applause Rectangular Chafer Skin Care

Stainless-Steel Roll-Top Chafer

The American Metalcraft MACD3 Applause is a rectangular chafer built from stainless steel with a satin finish frame and body. Its 90-degree roll-top lid stays open during service and closes to retain heat. Polished brass handles, a standard water pan, a food pan and two fuel holders are included. Seventy years of foodservice experience back the design.

Catering and Buffet Service

This chafer suits hotels, banquet halls and catering teams that need a durable, self-serve hot-holding station for rectangular full-size pans. The roll-top mechanism simplifies access for guests while keeping food covered. Operations that require induction heating, electric elements or round inserts should look elsewhere because the unit is designed only for standard fuel cans and a rectangular water pan.

Sustained Heat Holding

Under continuous use the stainless body and satin finish resist corrosion and staining from steam and repeated fuel changes. The 90-degree lid hinge holds position without spring fatigue, so the cover remains open or closed as needed throughout long service periods. Brass handles stay cool enough to grip when repositioning the unit, and the two fuel holders maintain even heat across the water pan for hours.
