1. A wire chafing stand comprising: an upper rectangular rim with a first and second shorter upper lateral side;a lower rectangular rim with a first and second shorter lower lateral side;a first wire leg portion formed from a single continuous wire including two extreme ends, said first wire leg portion comprising: two bend points which are each welded to said first shorter upper lateral side and spaced apart from one another;a handle parallel to said first shorter upper lateral side formed by two additional bends on said single continuous wire, said two additional bends positioned on said wire between said two bend points; andfirst and second legs, spaced apart from each other, each defined by; a first weld point connecting one of said two extreme ends of said single continuous wire to said first shorter lower lateral side of said lower rectangular rim;a first vertical portion extending downwardly from said first weld point;a second vertical portion welded to said first shorter lower lateral side of said lower rectangular rim at a second weld point; anda base extending between said first and second vertical portions parallel to said lower rectangular rim while being positioned inside an area defined by a footprint of said lower rectangular rim. 2. The wire chafing stand of claim 1, further comprising, for each of said first and second legs, an offset between said base and each of said first and second weld points. 3. The wire chafing stand of claim 1, wherein said two additional bends forming said handle are obtuse such that said handle is above a plane defined by said upper rectangular rim. 4. The wire chafing stand of claim 1, further comprising a second wire leg portion, identical to said first wire leg portion, attached to said second shorter upper lateral side and to said second shorter lower lateral side. 5. A wire chafing stand comprising: a lower rectangular rim including a first and a second shorter side;an upper rectangular rim disposed in a parallel plane to said lower rectangular rim;two base members formed from a continuous wire having two ends, each of said two ends of said continuous wire being welded to said lower rectangular rim at an end weld point;additional weld points connecting said continuous wire to said lower rectangular rim;upper weld points at which said continuous wire is welded to said upper rectangular rim; anda handle formed by a handle length of said continuous wire extending between said upper weld points;wherein each of said additional weld points is disposed along one of said first and second shorter sides of said lower rectangular rim between a corner of said lower rectangular rim and one of said end weld point,wherein each of said two base members includes a length of said wire defining a lower extremity parallel to said lower rectangular rim,wherein said continuous wire includes a first side length extending between one of said additional weld points and one of said upper weld points, and a second side length extending between another of said additional weld points and another of said upper weld points,wherein, along said continuous wire, said handle length is disposed between said first side length and said second side length, andwherein an angled offset is formed between each said base member of said two base members and a closest said additional weld point. 6. The wire chafing stand of claim 5, wherein said handle comprises an elongated parallel region, parallel to a side of said upper rim and comprises two acute bends at either end of said parallel region. 7. The wire chafing stand of claim 6, wherein said angled offset positions said two base members interior to an area defined by a footprint of said lower rim. 8. A wire chafing stand comprising: an upper rim;a rectangular lower rim; andtwo identical continuous wires, each including: exactly two upper attachment points at which said continuous wire is attached to said upper rim;exactly four lower attachment points at which said continuous wire is attached to said lower rim, said exactly four lower attachment points including two end points and two middle points; anda handle length of wire disposed between said two upper points, said handle length of wire forming a handle spaced apart from said upper rim;wherein each of said end points is at and end of said continuous wire, andwherein each of said middle points is disposed, along said lower rim, between one of said end points and a corner of said rectangular lower rim. 9. The wire chafing stand of claim 8, wherein said upper rim is rectangular, and wherein said upper and lower rims sit in planes parallel to one another. 10. The wire chafing stand of claim 8, wherein: each said continuous wire includes two side lengths of wire, each extending between one of said middle points and one of said upper attachment points,said handle is parallel to said upper rim,said handle length of wire further comprises two bends on either side of said handle, andeach of said two bends being between said handle and a said side length of wire. 11. The wire chafing stand of claim 8, wherein a base, in parallel to said lower rim, is formed from said continuous wire between said end points and said middle points. 12. The wire chafing stand of claim 11, wherein said base is inside of an area defined by a footprint of said lower rim while said exactly four lower attachment points are located at an outside of said lower rim said area defined thereby. 13. The wire chafing stand of claim 11, wherein each said identical wire comprises two bases, and said bases are less distant from each other than a longest length of said lower rim.
