Diego Velázquez portrayed an old woman poaching eggs in a glazed earthenware chafing dish over charcoal

A chafing-dish (from the Old French chauffer, "to make warm"料理保温用器具.) is a kind of portable grate ("a dish of Coles") raised on a tripod, originally heated with charcoal in a brazier, and used for foods that require gentle cooking, away from the fierce heat of direct flames. The chafing dish could be used at table or provided with a cover for keeping food warm on a buffet. Double dishes that provide a protective water jacket are known as bain-maries and help keep delicate foods such as fish warm while preventing overcooking.

History

Chafing dishes in the form of charcoal-burning braziers are familiar in 16th-century English inventories, and in 17th century American inventories almost from the start. François Pierre La Varenne , Le Cuisinier françois (Paris, 1652) mentions the use of a réchaut in a recipe for champignons à l'olivier>[1] In describing the Velasquez genre painting (illustration), sometimes art historians not handy in the kitchen describe her as frying eggs in her earthenware dish.[2] In 1520 Hernan Cortez reported to Charles V the manner in which Montezuma was served meals in Tenochtitlan:
