Oh dear. I think food warmers are incredibly dangerous things when used incorrectly.

A food warmer is used in buffet servers to keep food warm - generally trays of food sit in a bath of boiling hot water and that's what keeps food warm. There are also food warmers for domestic use, generally electric powered.

The low level of heat is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria which is why, only small quantities of food must ever be served on a food warmer.

Serve it quickly, move it out fast. A quick turnaround of food is important if you're using a food warmer.

If you're using your food warmer for a dinner party and it's been warming for more than 2hours - throw out the remainder please!
