Adjustable temperature settings give you full control. Great for parties and entertaining guests! Review: Two Stars - It's a good product but not long lasting. The element is always burned. Review: Entertaining Boon - Very useful for smaller group events in a home. One must make sure that the food is well heated before placing in the units as it keeps the food warm but does not work to heat it up. The containers may be put in the oven and then transferred to the unit. The lids are rather light and should be handled carefully. The ss containers for foods are large enough to accommodate groups of six to eight. For larger parties, I would recommend two sets of these and it would still be a bargain. I love it because it looks very good, is easy to clean and store and works as promised. Now to have more family meals at my house! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0015UUEFU | | Best Sellers Rank | #754,385 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #5,628 in Serving Trays, Dishes & Platters | | Brand | Elite Gourmet | | Capacity | 2.5 Quarts | | Colour | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 5,113 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Stainless Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00717056120001 | | Item Type Name | Buffet Server | | Item Weight | 3.99 kg | | Manufacturer | Maximatic | | Manufacturer Part Number | EWM-6171 | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Model number | EWM-6171 | | Number Of Trays | 3 | | OutputCapacity | 2.5 Quarts | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 717056120001 | | Voltage | 120.0 | | Wattage | 300 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Elite Gourmet - **Colour:** Silver - **Item Weight:** 3.99 kg - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Power Source:** Corded Electric ## Images ![Elite Platinum EWM-6171 Maxi-Matic 2.5 Quart 3 Tray Buffet Server, Stainless Steel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71t85HdE-EL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this have any chance of burning the surface under it? Like if I put it on the table will it burn wood or laminate?** A: It shouldn't. I've had it on a plastic tablecloth and the tablecloth did not burn or melt. **Q: Are the trays Dishwasher safe?** A: they are stainless steel and I ran them through and had no issues **Q: Is it a plug in or how does it work?** A: Plug it into an outlet. Place cooked food in trays, with a tiny amount of liquid to maintain a little steam to keep food moist. Keep lids on, or food will get cold. I usually put masking tape over utensil openings to keep heat from escaping. It won't matter after service starts. Purpose of this is to have many dishes hot at the time of guests arrival, just sit down to eat and don't worry about running to and from stove. I own five servers, can accommodate a dinner for 40 guests. **Q: Ideas for transporting warm food across town in this?** A: I wouldn’t. It’s not sturdy enough. Bring the food in a Tupperware container and then transfer it to this and warm it up. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Two Stars *by R***I on 16 March 2018* It's a good product but not long lasting.

Now to have more family meals at my house! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best deal out there, and so much better than steam, IMO *by J***E on 15 April 2024* *** Why I need these *** I purchased two of these 3-container, 7.5 quart electric buffet warmers. We often host holiday dinners, and these allow me to get a lot of the meal ready before they arrive. *** Electric vs. steam *** I had previously been using steam chafing dishes. They held the same amount of food, but they were a giant PITA. IMO, these electric Elite Gourmet warmers are far superior for the following reasons. => Steam versions use cans of expensive liquid/gel fuel, which only last two hours. With these, as long as you have electricity, you’re good to go. => Steam versions don’t have individual lids. Guests had to pick up a giant stainless-steel lid, and spill a half cup of water that had no doubt collected under the lid. This electric warmer not only has individual lids, but they’re see-though. They even have a little cut-out so you can leave the serving utensil in the container. => This Elite Gourmet setup is smaller and easier to store. I was careful to keep the original box(es) that these came in, and I took pictures while unpacking. Now, when we’re done, I pack everything exactly as it was. These take up less than half the space my steam decks used. => These electric warmers can be used with or without the included containers. Or you could use one or two, and add your own. Or you can use just the warming plate with a giant disposable aluminum foil baking pan. These are much more versatile. *** Why I chose Elite Gourmet *** There are a few manufacturers that make this style of buffet warmer, and based on Amazon reviews, none are perfect. The metal is thin, the lids are relatively fragile, and the cord is short. So I looked at cost, and the little differences where Elite Gourmet beat the others. => The lids. The Elite Gourmet lids have actual handles, whereas some others have no real handles, just recesses in the molded plastic where you can pinch the lids to lift. => These are 300 watts, vs others with only 200 watts. That means these can get hotter than the others. Food needs to stay at 140 F to be safe, and although I didn’t test the actual temperature of food in these, it does seem to stay hot. => The frame that holds the containers on the hot plate is riveted instead of spot-welded. It looks better, and I believe it will last longer. *** Bottom Line *** At this time, I think these Elite Gourmet triple tray buffet servers are the best deal out there. There’s no liquid fuel to buy, no water dripping everywhere, and you can use the hot plate part of it with or without any number of the included pans. You can see what’s in the pan with the lid on, and leave the serving utensil in the pan with the lid on. I hope this helps. ## Frequently Bought Together - Elite Gourmet EWM-6171 Triple 3 x 2.5 Qt.
