Alright, so, I threw a big party last weekend, and you know how it goes – keeping the food warm is always a pain. I didn’t want to spend the whole night running back and forth to the oven, so I decided to check out those food warmers at Costco. You know, the ones that look like they belong in a professional kitchen? Yeah, those.
First, I headed to Costco, which, let’s be honest, is an adventure in itself. I grabbed a cart – a big one, of course – and made my way to the kitchen appliance section. It took a bit of searching, but I finally found them tucked away near the catering supplies. They had a few different models, but I opted for the stainless steel ones with adjustable heat settings. Seemed like the best bang for my buck.
Finding and Choosing
- Found the food warmer section near the catering supplies.
- Compared different models.
- Chose the stainless steel ones with adjustable heat settings.
Getting them home was another story. Those things are bulky! Luckily, my SUV had enough space. Once home, I unboxed them and gave them a quick wipe down, even though they were pretty clean already. I plugged them in to test them out, and they heated up really fast. I played around with the temperature controls a bit, just to get a feel for them.
Setting up the food warmer
- Unboxed and cleaned the food warmers.
- Tested them out to see how quickly they heat up.
- Familiarized myself with the temperature controls.
On the day of the party, I prepped all the food – we had everything from meatballs to mini quiches – and arranged them in the warmers. I set the temperature to a medium setting, just enough to keep everything warm without drying it out. And let me tell you, those warmers were a lifesaver! No more cold food, and I actually got to enjoy my own party instead of playing chef all night.
Cleanup was a breeze, too. I just wiped them down with a damp cloth, and they were good as new. Honestly, these food warmers are a game changer for anyone who likes to entertain. I’m already planning my next party, just so I can use them again!
Best purchase of my life!
