food warmers
Buffet temperature keepers
Food warmers are devices that keep prepared food at serving temperature without continuing to cook it.
They range from small candle-heated chafing dishes for home buffets to commercial steam tables in cafeterias.
The caterer set up food warmers along the buffet line.
Electric models maintain steady heat; flame-based versions use canned fuel.
