Review: Good warming tray - I was pleasantly surprised by this product! I ordered it for a large work party, and it heated the food well for several hours. I was worried the plastic lids would melt but they were fine. I also pre-heated the hot plate the day before since some reviews reported a burning smell. There was a very slight burning odor but it was not bad at all. There was no smell at the party. The unit is lightweight- the aluminum frame is a bit flimsy but for the price, it’s fine, and it did the job! The three pans held 8 lbs of bacon and kept it all heated for hours during our breakfast/brunch party. Would recommend!
Review: The slotted lids; are perfect for keeping utensils in place. - I’ve relied on this Elite Gourmet buffet server in my own home for a while now, so when my sister needed a reliable way to handle food for her church volunteering, sending her this exact model was a calculated technical win. The 300 watts of power provided by this unit is the real engine behind its success, maintaining a consistent heat that cheaper warmers simply can't match across a full 7.5-quart capacity. It’s a versatile piece of equipment that functions as both a three-tray server and a standalone warming base, which is crucial when you're managing multiple hors d'oeuvres or different-sized dishes in a fast-paced environment like a social function. My sister’s experience with it mirrored my own—it is efficient, easy to transport with the carry handles, and the three separate temperature settings allow for the precision needed to keep delicate dishes from drying out while keeping heavier items hot. One minor drawback to watch for is the slotted lids; while they are perfect for keeping utensils in place, they can allow heat to escape faster than solid lids if the server is used outdoors or in a drafty hall. My professional tip is to drape a clean, heavy linen over the lids between servings to lock that moisture and heat in, ensuring the last guest's plate is just as fresh as the first. This experience.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have any chance of burning the surface under it? Like if I put it on the table will it burn wood or laminate?**
A: It shouldn't. I've had it on a plastic tablecloth and the tablecloth did not burn or melt.

**Q: Are the trays Dishwasher safe?**
A: they are stainless steel and I ran them through and had no issues

**Q: Is it a plug in or how does it work?**
A: Plug it into an outlet.  Place cooked food in trays, with a tiny amount of liquid to maintain a little steam to keep food moist.  Keep lids on, or food will get cold.  I usually put masking tape over utensil openings to keep heat from escaping.  It won't matter after service starts.  Purpose of this is to have many dishes hot at the time of guests arrival, just sit down to eat and don't worry about running to and from stove.  I own five servers, can accommodate a dinner for 40 guests.

**Q: Ideas for transporting warm food across town in this?**
A: I wouldn’t. It’s not sturdy enough. Bring the food in a Tupperware container and then transfer it to this and warm it up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best deal out there, and so much better than steam, IMO
*by J***E on April 15, 2024*

*** Why I need these *** I purchased two of these 3-container, 7.5 quart electric buffet warmers. We often host holiday dinners, and these allow me to get a lot of the meal ready before they arrive. *** Electric vs. steam *** I had previously been using steam chafing dishes. They held the same amount of food, but they were a giant PITA. IMO, these electric Elite Gourmet warmers are far superior for the following reasons. => Steam versions use cans of expensive liquid/gel fuel, which only last two hours. With these, as long as you have electricity, you’re good to go. => Steam versions don’t have individual lids. Guests had to pick up a giant stainless-steel lid, and spill a half cup of water that had no doubt collected under the lid. This electric warmer not only has individual lids, but they’re see-though. They even have a little cut-out so you can leave the serving utensil in the container. => This Elite Gourmet setup is smaller and easier to store. I was careful to keep the original box(es) that these came in, and I took pictures while unpacking. Now, when we’re done, I pack everything exactly as it was. These take up less than half the space my steam decks used. => These electric warmers can be used with or without the included containers. Or you could use one or two, and add your own. Or you can use just the warming plate with a giant disposable aluminum foil baking pan. These are much more versatile. *** Why I chose Elite Gourmet *** There are a few manufacturers that make this style of buffet warmer, and based on Amazon reviews, none are perfect. The metal is thin, the lids are relatively fragile, and the cord is short. So I looked at cost, and the little differences where Elite Gourmet beat the others. => The lids. The Elite Gourmet lids have actual handles, whereas some others have no real handles, just recesses in the molded plastic where you can pinch the lids to lift. => These are 300 watts, vs others with only 200 watts. That means these can get hotter than the others. Food needs to stay at 140 F to be safe, and although I didn’t test the actual temperature of food in these, it does seem to stay hot. => The frame that holds the containers on the hot plate is riveted instead of spot-welded. It looks better, and I believe it will last longer. *** Bottom Line *** At this time, I think these Elite Gourmet triple tray buffet servers are the best deal out there. There’s no liquid fuel to buy, no water dripping everywhere, and you can use the hot plate part of it with or without any number of the included pans. You can see what’s in the pan with the lid on, and leave the serving utensil in the pan with the lid on. I hope this helps.
