[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure heat stuff up and use crockpots but really, with a large group stuff will be cold on plates. It’s okay. [/quote]

Only if you insist on decanting hot food into cold servingware and pass, pass, passing family-style at the table. I’ve hosted 25 buffet style from the stovetop, crock pots, island and chafing dishes, and it’s all perfectly warm—even for seconds.[/quote]

We do a buffet but realistically, people are waiting at the table for other people, people are making plates for seniors and babies, people are talking in the kitchen on the way to and from the buffet…I just wouldn’t worry too much about the food staying “hot.” It’s not a big deal. [/quote]

We say grace before people start to go through, and people know to start eating when they sit down. Able-bodied adults help get the kids and the older folks/folks who need help settled, then the guests go through, then host and hostess go through last. We’ve never had an issue with food not being properly warm.[/quote]
