I always seem to have trouble getting food to the table nice and hot after dishing up. I usually serve about twelve people and do not have enough space in my oven to store the plates of food. As I love to serve food hot I would like to have any ideas on how to acomplish this. |

Preheat the plates or bowls before you serve them, either in the oven or dishwasher. This alone will make a big difference. |

Foil pans will not keep the food hot. If you want to keep food SAFELY hot (above 140 until served) it has to be in an oven, roaster, crockpot etc; or else moved to a Cambro (preheated caterers storage box) or a preheated ice chest (the tougher kind you can sit on, not the styrofoam ones) afetr it is heated above 160. It will hold for a couple of hours if you do NOT open the lids. See the baked poato bar page for further discussion of holding potatoes hot. |
