I really like the clear chafing covers. They are so ideal to make your event classy. It was nice for guests to see the food choices in the pans without having to lift off each cover like we have always done with the aluminum covers. It made the food serving a breeze. We used them at my sister's 50th birthday celebration and I can't wait to use them again. Cleaning was really easy and we were able to just wrap each cover back in its original packaging and store away.
