CuiZen CBS-2325 Buffet Server and Warming Tray, 7.5-Quart

This will work for me to keep warm goodies for parties and get togethers. I like the size and price. The individual pans are bigger than some of the other servers. The lids are plastic but with decent handles. There is no lid slot to leave the spoon in the server. I don't think you will crack the plastic lid unless you put it up to high and get it too hot. The price was right. It is not heavy. As a gift you can encourage your friends or family to do more entertainment of family and friends.

I loved this buffet server! The 3 compartments actually could hold much more servings than expected!

doest warm up fast

was defective, had a live wire sticking out

This product was perfect. We had a large family gathering and this tray was perfect for the buffet line we set up. The temperature is adjustable and kept everything warm without scorching.

This is not a good product. Unfortunately, it arrived having been heavily USED. Gross. Beyond that, the pans themselves are significantly thinner than some other chafing dishes I've come across. Spend the extra money and get a Waring Pro BFS50B, which I have and love. Should not have tried to save a few bucks with this piece of garbage. I can understand why the guy in front of me returned it already. Poor form Amazon for sending this one back out. On the plus side, Amazon returns are easy and fairly painless.
