I've decided to go with an electric chafing dish for heating milk, and am looking for an 8" pan. 6" seems to be the deepest that is commonly available, and I was hoping someone has come across a link for a deeper pan and wouldn't mind sharing.
Thanks!
Polarware makes one, the S2008D

Not sure who else might. Maybe Winco?
Fabulous! Thanks for the info.
The only drawback I'm finding to these, is that there's no lid. So when I have to heat the milk to higher temperatures skin forms on top very quickly.
Kinda like Yuba Bean curd, but from milk. :) ;D ???
Wondering ... How many gallon batch can be made in one of these pans? thanks
I've not found local restaurant supply stores here to carry 8" stainless pans. Plastic yes, but not stainless. Polarware is the only company I know of that makes 8" deep pans. Webstaurantstore.com does not stock 8" stainless pans, but perhaps could special order one.
Vollrath (http://www.vollrathco.com/catalog_sku.jsp?id=5251&fid=4938&cid=198) also does this stuff; we used them. Trying to dig up my old sources for our restaurant buildout and equip, but the spreadsheet was on an old computer, and otherwise in archived files. Will keep looking.

They are 27.5 qts when filled completely to the top, so realistically, about a 7 gallon batch.
I think Katom has the best price on the Vollrath 8"

Seven gallons would make a 6 to 7 pound Tomme. A nice size wheel !
If I remember correctly the older Hot Dog Carts had a Stainless pan about this size / heated with a Colman white gas two burner camp style stove set directly under the pan.
Anyone for Push Cart cheese making?
Do the full size lids not fit? I had assumed that they do.
