Good point. I have a wire rack insert with little feet that I place meat on. Little broth like NK suggested above on bottom. Meat stays moist but doesn't get soggy.

Also be careful to not take the stereo lid completely off because it will heat the pan quite a bit and help with the drying out. I made that mistake for my daughter in law's baby shower and actually burned a rice dish.

LOL, I'm thinking you mean STERNO lid? I've heard of cooking things on a car engine, but never on the stereo.

The Bloody Mary mix awaits the dawn. Did you see, on The Chew yesterday? They used a piece of crispy bacon instead of celery in the Bloody Marys.. Yum.

What you forgot was the water pan below the food pan. True chafing dishes have both.
