food warmer
Keeps dishes hot
A food warmer is a device or container designed to keep prepared food at serving temperature without continuing to cook it.
Chafing dishes, warming trays, and insulated carriers all qualify.
Restaurants use commercial food warmers to hold dishes between preparation and service: The buffet's food warmers kept the mashed potatoes hot for hours.
