I'm try to determine if there is something like a chafing dish (in that it
is used a fuel burner/candle-like underneath it to keep food warm), for
actually warming soups/dals or even braising onions,. In other words,
something that gets hot enough to boil or braise.

I find myself without electricity twice today; so it is a thought.
We have a small generator, but it is probably enough for only keeping the
furnace going, and the refrigerator running, but not both at the same time.

Lights flickering now --- oh, oh.
