About two months ago I stumbled across a video on YouTube talking about a food warmer. I thought thats kinda nifty, I didn't know smaller affordable ones for home use were a thing. Then I saw another video from a different guy talking about the use of warmers for BBQ, his got me really thinking about it. Not only the thought of being able to rest meat in it, I could also use it to hold extra pans of other dishes that could go right into one of my countertop food warmer/servers. I really feel they will jive together well.
Also in the recent past here on SMF I was seeing things pop up about resting, coolers, ovens, towels, Cambro's, etc. Well this all pushed me over the edge. I had a birthday in April and asked for Amazon gift cards. Between my lovely girlfriend and her parents generosity I got the bulk of what I needed to make it happen. So the trigger got pulled.
I didn't take many pictures but here are a few.
It was packaged very well.
Out of the box it is rapped with a protective film, and I got some warnings from reviews and they were right, this stuff is a pain to get off.
I spent about 3 hours dealing with this stuff. And still not perfect.
The controls a pretty straight forward.
One thing I thought about before ever taking it out of the box was the cord, the idea of maybe wiring a longer power cord. I got a nice surprise as I already have multiple lengths of cord that plug right in.
Stainless exterior and interior.
Overall I am very pleased with the build quality and its pretty light and doesn't feel flimsy. I did a dry run with it for 3 hours and it held a temp of 150 within 1-3 degrees steady the whole time. The shelfs slide in and are made of aluminum.
The only downfall (for me) was with all the shelfs in you can only fit a 2 1/2" tall pan in with a little more room on the top, about 3 1/2" total. I have 4" pans, so going to get some shorter ones just in case. I don't see trying to really pack this thing full, but you never know.
For a little while now I've been looking for ideas to up my food holding/service game and I think this will help. I posted this just for anyone else living under a rock (like myself) and didn't know they existed. This post was for informational purpose, and not to enable!
Have a great weekend!
