Proctor Silex Buffet Server & Food Warmer, Adjustable Heat, for Parties, Holidays and Entertaining, Three 2.5 Quart Oven-Safe Chafing Dish Set, Stainless Steel

You don't want to have food sitting out for too long at room temperature! I wish I had purchased this sooner since I do a lot of gathering and events at my place. The trays that come with this server are very useful and everything you need to keep things warmed. You also don't need to use the trays themselves, and can put items directly on the hot plate. For any regular entertainer who hosts dinner parties or events at their house, I can't recommend this enough.

This works great for parties. Keeps the food warm. Price is great for what you get.

I liked everything about this. The temperature was hot but not too hot to overheat the food, I love that lids have a hook to stand on while guest was sharing their food, the quality was good as well. The appearance was good, looked fancy on my kitchen island, the fit was perfect because it didn't take up a lot of space and most of all I love how versatile it was, you can remove the pans and just have the flat bottom piece to put your food on directly and it still won't overheat your food. And the pans were deep enough, it holds the perfect amount. I fed about 10 people, so it held enough food.

I bought this for Thanksgiving because I got tired of the sternos. It is descent but definitely on the cheaper side & very flimsy. It heated up fine & served the purpose. Will keep and use for family gatherings and hopefully it will last.

I'll update if anything changes but christmas dinner was a big hit! I kept checking my counters to make sure they didn't get too hot and the medium high setting didn't even warm my counters. I think some of the reviews that had ruined tables and counters must have had it on the highest setting for a really long time? If you are aware this can happen, you can avoid it. I bought 2 units and they both came in perfect condition. For the price, even if they only work for a couple dinners, it's worth it. I don't have to perfectly time all the food and i can clean up cooking pans and trays so dinner is seamless. And after they can just be put straight in the fridge. They make dinner less stressful for sure.

I ordered this to use for holidays and ahead of a graduation party in May (we'll be hosting several) and we host several holidays at our home now so this seemed like a good investment. Unfortunately upon opening this morning while prepping for Easter, I found that one of the plastic lids was cracked. The product itself is packed into Styrofoam, and then individual pieces wrapped in plastic, this is disappointing to see right out of the box.

This was another Xmas gift to myself. After thanksgiving I wanted something to keep food warm. Bought this for a formal Xmas party I was having. First of all, I don’t cook often. My friends were really impressed that I owned this 😄 It looks great, and I thought a good value for the money. Kept food warm the entire time, love that I can use with 3 separate trays or as a flat surface for pizza or apps.

Super product which met my expectations. When I opened the box I was a bit worried as there were two dents in the bottom warming tray, and some abrasions on the serving trays. However, they didn't seem to affect the heating. I wasn't sure how warm it would get, but on high it was enough to keep the food hot. My guests were impressed and it was very easy to use. I can see myself using this a lot.
