Party Essentials 33-Piece Complete Party Serving Kit with Chafing Racks, Water Pans, Food Pans, Methanol Fuel, Serving Utensils – All-in-One Buffet Set for Catering, Events & Entertaining - UPK-33*

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.

The perfect items you need for any catering event

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

I was a little nervous about using this product (open flame in the house worried) but this set was a lifesaver. I threw a birthday party for my fiancé and picked up lots of bbq & side dishes, and this kept everything warm until the guests arrived. Totally my mistake, but I let the flames burn on throughout the party and some of the food was actually burnt at the end (I only say this to prove that it really does work). I threw most of the items away afterwards because I don't have the storage, but you could definitely wash and reuse the pieces, youd just have to buy new flame!

We purchased these for hosting a shower and serving a taco bar. The materials provided kept all of the food hot for the 3 hour party (almost too hot but I’d prefer that versus not). The bases were sturdy and we have no complaints on the set up. We’ve been able to purchase replacement flames and pans to get multiple uses out of the holders. Overall a good purchase if you’re not willing to spend more for the fully reusable metal serving set but still want an easy way to keep food warm while serving.

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.

This was a nice serving option before the second wave of COVID came and we were able to open the windows and have a small 10 person social distanced brunch. I was able to save the larger trays and the stands and I am able to buy the small pans from Dollar Tree and then buy more fuel cans, which they have the value pack at BJs and Costco so it was definitely worth the price and if I want to throw away to save space I can do that to without too much of a hurt on my pockets.

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!
