🛠 About the product / Function

This Brabantia rechaud is designed to keep serving dishes and meals warm during dining. By placing one or more tealights underneath, the contents remain at serving temperature — ideal for long dinners or cosy evenings at the table.

Please note: a rechaud is intended to retain heat, not to heat up food from cold.

This is the later version of Model 2, recognisable by the extinguishers positioned at the front and back rather than on the sides.
