Isn’t it the worst feeling in the world when you invite all your favorite people over and prepare your favorite entree,
appetizers and side dishes, only to realize that the food is barely warm enough for the true flavors to be enjoyed by the time all your guests arrive? We’ve all been there! But the good news is that there’s a very easy and effective way to resolve such disappointment. How, you ask? Just use a warming tray!
Warming trays, as the name suggests, are flat portable surfaces designed to keep your food warm for extended periods of time. So whether you are going on a vacation or planning to throw a part, rest assured that this innovative kitchen appliance will help keep the food warm for hours after you have prepared and set it up on your dinner table!
In addition to keeping your dishes piping hot throughout the day, these multipurpose trays can also be used for heating plates and mugs, defrosting meat, cake, and bread.
However, deciding which warming tray to buy can be a challenging process for most as these functional and stylish appliances come in several different materials, shapes and sizes, each with its own strengths designed to maintain warm temperatures all through.
If you are someone who often finds herself in a situation where you have to keep running between the kitchen and dinner table to reheat food several times during a party or a family get together, then warming trays are designed for you. You will get the chance to sit in peace and enjoy good company while still being a wonderful host during such
occasions once you have invested in a warming tray to do the heating and reheating runs for you. All you need to do is plug in this magical electric appliance and place your food dishes on it, and voila! It stays warm throughout the party!
In addition to the convenience factor of keeping food warm for your guests, warming trays can have several health benefits as well. For example, the risk of airborne bacteria ruining your food is minimized considerably when it is kept hot rather than letting it set out to room temperature.
Furthermore, some foods, like potato, can spoil easily if left out in room temperature for more than a few hours. Using a warming tray to keep your side dishes like mash and baked potatoes warm can prevent such untimely rotting of food. It also makes refrigeration of leftovers safer, as the process of setting out does not start out as quickly or easily in food that is warm. This leads to less wastage, as most of your leftover food will be safe for refrigeration and reconsumption afterwards.
There are 2 major types of designs when it comes to warming trays: the buffet server and the electric warming tray. While the buffet server comes with pan holders and cannot be used as a standalone warming tray, the flat electric warming tray can accommodate several pans and dishes on its wide flat surface. Both types are useful at parties and gatherings and each has its own merits and demerits depending on the purpose and magnitude of an event and nature of its use.
Chafing dishes vs warming trays
A Chafing dish is a metal serving pan/deep dish with a stand and heat source (burner) underneath usually designed
for keeping one type of food warm, as the food needs to be directly placed inside this deep dish and covered with a round lift-up lid and handle for easy access. A warming tray, on the other hand, comes with a flat surface that is perfectly designed to accommodate pans and dishes, increasingly used for warming appetizers during the crowd parties and family dinners.
Features of electric warming trays
Performance
The most important aspect of any electric appliance, especially a kitchen appliance, is how well it effectively delivers what it is designed to. In the case of an electric warming tray, this will depend on the material it is made of as well as the technology and features deployed towards its functionality and utility.
Design
When people think of the word design, the first and the last thing that comes to mind is the looks. While looks are important, the utility of the design to fit the purpose a kitchen appliance is meant for is of utmost importance. There are several different shapes and sizes available in the market currently to meet varying consumer needs. The main things to look for when choosing an electric warming tray are size, capacity, temperature range, controls, material (that the tray is made of), power and utility or convenience (ease of use).
FAQs
How long does the food remain warm in a warming tray?
Typically 2 to 4 hours. The food will begin to lose its freshness after a few hours.

Can a warming tray be used for cooking?
No, a warming tray cannot be used for cooking in any capacity since its work is to just keep already prepared food warm.
Can you put appetizers directly onto the tray or do they have to be in a dish?
The instructions are to never put food directly on the surface of the warmer, so yes, must use a dish on a flat surface hot plate style warming trays. However, buffet servers usually have built in compartments/deep dishes for the food to be placed directly. Some warming trays are also compatible with baking sheets, so you can use those.
