Party Serving Kit

I love these sets to much that I have now purchased them twice. We host a large open house every year at Christmas time and were struggling with how to keep things warm and lovely all day and be able to spend quality time with our family and friends rather than worry about how the food was doing. The first year i purchased 2 sets. I've washed and reused the containers with great success, and it's really nice to only have to replenish the heat canisters. The containers that go in the water pan are really nice to hold food, of course, but equally nice to stuff with "take home" food for our guests - just have to cover with a bit of foil and boom - no need to purchase other storage containers! If we had not sent people home with the inserts, I'm pretty sure I could have gotten away with using the set all 3 years we have hosted our open house. These are totally worth the (great!) price. You will wonder where they have been your whole life!! Game changer for entertaining.

This bundle is absolutely great! Perfect for a party and everything is all in 1 box. 2 complaints: **First, the serving tins are a little flimsy when full of soup. It holds it well once it's in the rack but I wasn't able to walk with the tin once it was full. It would fold up and spill so I had to double it up to walk with it then take out the second tin once I got it to the rack. **Second: The large tins used to hold the water are not exactly re-usable. They get really burnt and black on the inside after 1 use. Not a huge deal because the tins can be purchased at the dollar store. The racks are great and definitely reusable though! The fire lasted a long time and the serving utensils are as expected.

Very useful kit. Can be used right out of the box. The wire frames for the chafing dishes are very sturdy and we have already used them om two separate occasions. It include the sternos to keep your food hot while it's being served. The serving spoons are a little flimsy and not for serving anything particularly heavy but useful and reusable.

I bought this for my 10-year high school reunion, and we held barbeque in them with no issues. The warming pots stayed lit the entire time and flamed out just as the party was winding down, which made for easy clean-up. This kit was much more expensive at other places, so to find it at a great price on Amazon was a bonus. We used everything in the kit with no issues. Worked well!

These worked perfectly. I would have given them 5 stars but some of the pans were bent. I realize they are aluminum and not metal but you might want to consider a tad bigger box for them. The utensils worked but are not extremely strong. I can see them breaking after maybe 10-20 uses but overall this is a nice set and after all it is not expensive so rather than buying a $300 metal chaffing set it's great. The racks are sturdy. The sternos lasted all night long for my party. They didn't over boil the food but kept it warm which tells me the racks are at a very good length from the sternos. The best part was I was able to just cover the left overs with foil and put them in the fridge. Very easy clean up. and you CAN get replacement foil pans in the grocery store. Overall nice set for the price.

Perfect for our small party. We were able to keep 6 different foods warm. We bought some wind guards and the set was complete. The pans were trash after, but you can still reuse the stand. Just have to get new pans. Well worth it

I ordered two sets of these for my daughter's wedding and they are awesome!! Mine didn't come damaged or bent, it was perfect! I did buy extra tins from Costco and they came in handy with all the extra food we had! I love these things and we'll use them again and again. I did toss out the utensils that came with after they were used, some did break and some didn't, no biggy, I'd rather use my own. Lids do not come with this, so you can use tin foil to cover your food, or if you buy extra tin containers from Costco like I did, then you can just turn those over and make lids out of them!

I took a better to ask for forgiveness than permission approach to this purchase because of the space needed to store it . Well I bit the bullet and made space in my Dining Room server . Now we're wondering what took us so long . He set it up 15 minutes before guest expected arrival resulting in a bevy of hot and ready dishes that stayed hot all night allowing us to focus on on entertaining our guest . It was easy to set up . I recommend buying Clear Flip covers . I also replaced one tray to use with Mac and cheese . One of the trays I carried around for sizing purposes ended up bent . I put a second one underneath and it was all good . It was very easy to set up and keep the food station tidy the entire evening as well as the food hot . We have stepped up our game as host with this one
