This Electric Warming Tray Is Such a Smart Investment If You're Hosting Holiday Dinners

Holiday hosting is never a simple matter, especially on the day of the big meal. We've all been there: Running around making sure the roast chicken isn't burnt, the pie crust isn't soggy, the asparagus isn't over-cooked, and that the gravy isn't rubbery. The most important thing, however, is ensuring that your meal is served at the right time without side dishes going cold while the main centerpiece (be it turkey or ham) is still getting ready. That's where an electric warming tray comes in handy.

Electric chafing dishes are perfect for keeping sides that you've labored over warm if you're a little behind on preparing the big showstopper, and one that Amazon shoppers can't stop praising is Chefman's Electric Warming Tray. The countertop appliance, which comes with adjustable temperature control, is "worth every dime" for hosting the holidays. Shoppers say it made their lives "1,000 times easier," and it's even $15 off right now as part of Amazon's massive Cyber Monday sale.

Since the warming tray measures 16 by 21 inches, it's capable of holding multiple side dishes from mashed potatoes to warm gravy. The adjustable temperature settings can go as high as 265 degrees Fahrenheit, and its glass surface can easily be wiped clean. "The ability to choose your temperature setting is really useful and the unit works well for heating over long periods of time," wrote a reviewer. "I also love that the handles do not get hot even when the tray is at its hottest temperatures."

The Chefman tray even "saved the sides from long waits" on a shopper's Christmas main dish, and others call it a great holiday gift for your host. It's "the best way to keep food warm when entertaining," said a reviewer. "It's big enough to keep two trays of lasagna warm, and it's so much easier than warmers that use votives or fuel. It's very flat, so it's easy to store. We will probably give one or more of these as gifts for those who like to entertain."

Since the Chefman tray is already Amazon's best-seller in the Chafing Dish category, you'll want to pick it up fast while it's on sale before others do. Grab this holiday meal essential for $15 off now, and check out more Cyber Monday deals to shop this year below.
