Dessert Bar
Place small dishes of your favorite ice cream flavors over crushed ice in the cooking
to serving pan and set near the warming tray. Place hot fudge, caramel and
strawberry toppings in the chafing dishes and on the warming tray to keep warm.
Add bowls of nuts, cherries and bananas nearby and you have a great ice cream
sundae bar.
Arrange fresh baked pastries such as pies, brownies and cookies in oven proof
containers or your chafing dishes directly on your warming tray. Fill your cooking to
serving pan with crushed ice and place your whipped cream, ice cream and fresh
strawberries on the ice and set next to the warming tray as topping to your warm
baked and fresh dessert bar.
CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE
1. After allowing the DELUXE BUFFET SERVER AND WARMING TRAY™ to cool,
remove each chafing dish, lid and the cooking to serving pan.
2. To prolong the look of your buffet warmer, NEVER use an abrasive sponge, cloth,
towel or abrasive cleaner on your DELUXE BUFFET SERVER AND WARMING
TRAY™. The Stainless Steel chafing dishes, Polycarbonate dome lids and the
cooking to serving pan are dishwasher safe. However, your PC lids will sustain
surface scratching over time. To help delay this and maintain a clear appearance, we
recommend you submerge in soapy water and rinse by hand.
3. Wipe the warming tray base unit and cast aluminum handles with a damp cloth
removing food and liquid, preparing your buffet for the next use.
