Chafing dishes and fuel21 productsChafing dishes keep hot food hot on a buffet. Food should stay at 140°F or warmer once it is out. Plan one full size chafer for each hot dish and check how long your fuel burns before the party starts.
Electric warmers and cookers20 productsPlug in gear for when you have an outlet near the food. Buffet servers and warming trays hold food that is already cooked. Slow cookers and roasters cook a big batch and then keep it warm. Check the wattage if several will share one circuit.
Drink dispensers and ice25 productsA self serve drink station keeps guests out of your kitchen. Plan two or three drinks per guest for the first two hours and about one an hour after that. Ice goes faster than you think so plan for more than you need.
Serving platters and bowls31 productsPlatters and bowls you can use again for every party. Pick a few large pieces in one color so the table looks planned. Check the size against your table before you buy a set.
Buffet table setup21 productsThe table itself matters as much as the food. A sturdy folding table and a cover give you a clean base. Risers add height so guests see every dish. Mesh covers keep bugs off food outside.
Party plates and cutlery25 productsDisposable plates and cutlery for a crowd. Plan two plates for each guest at a buffet since many go back for seconds. Heavier plates hold up better under wet food like saucy wings or baked beans.
Prep and make ahead24 productsMost party food can be made a day or two ahead. Foil pans go straight from oven to buffet to fridge. Sheet pans and mini muffin pans turn out appetizers by the tray. Good containers keep leftovers safe for later.
Cookout and grilling16 productsGear for feeding a crowd off the grill. A thermometer matters most since color alone won't tell you when chicken or burgers are done. Long handled tools keep your hands away from the heat.
Carriers and coolers17 productsGetting food to the party safely. Hot food should stay hot and cold food should stay cold while it travels. Insulated carriers handle casseroles. Coolers handle drinks and anything that needs to stay under 40°F.
Taco bars and treat machines24 productsBuild your own stations and fun machines that guests love. A taco bar feeds a crowd for little effort. A popcorn or cotton candy machine gives kids something to watch and keeps them busy.
