Will this work for maintaining breakfast burritos wrapped in foil above 140 degrees?

Hi, I've never tried burritos, but I'd agree with low steam and medium to medium low temp.

No problem just keep the heat at meduim low and adjust the moisture vents. No need for foil.

This would work great for breakfast burritos. I don't think you would need the foil. Just adjust the moisture vents to keep your burritos moist. Keep the heat about medium low.

I've never tried burritos but I have used it for tamales and it works great. The only issue you may have is the burrito will get hard if you leave it to long. Due to the steam.

I purchased this product last year sometime ago. My intent was for hot dogs and buns. While it did a decent job of steaming the buns, the hot dogs were luke warm at best. Based on hot dogs I have eaten out of steamers such as this over the years at various concession stands, I expected them to be much hotter. Others that I served the hot dogs to had the same opinion. I ended up returning the machine to the manufacturer as I considered it defective. Manufacture was very accomodating.

I haven't tried anything like that but I don't see why it wouldn't, as a matter of fact thats a great Idea just might have to try it.

I make lasagna in it...so I will say yes it can...at 375° at least. That's what I bake at.

The Bentgo box is not insulated, so I don't think it will keep food hot for very long. This product is better for foods to be eaten cold or at room temp, unless you can heat it up later.

It's the "season" or non stick quality that suffers over 400 deg F. I've heated mine to 550 F to do large amounts of fajitas and reseasoned it after use and it is fine. Allow to air cool if you get it that hot or it can crack.

Definitely not. Foil should never go in the microwave if you don't want to blow it up.

We bake the Tortilla Shells at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes and seems to work out fine for us. Hope this helps.

I have not used it above 450 degrees Fahrenheit. I would not use it for cakes or chicken because the pan is not deep enough to hold liquid.

yes I have even though of the top quality of this product I wouldn't bake at too high a tempature. I have done six# pork butt tented with foil with twice the amount of smoking chips for 10 hours at 250 degrees f. and turned out top quality. hope this helps answer your question. I love my smoker!!!

The food would have to be wrapped tightly in aluminum foil. It would stay warm, not hot.

Probably not. It holds the heat of cooked foods, such as tortillas or pancakes, pretty well, why would you want to heat it, its a "keeper" not a heater.

If you want something to keep buns warm, maybe that would work. But I wanted somethng to keep my food more than warm and it didn't work. It said that it heats up to 215 degrees. Water boils at 212 degrees and I can tell you that is was no where near that. I could put my hand on it and it was luke warm. I returned it.

I've used a variety of frozen entrees, and how long they take to heat up depends upon the thickness of the tray. Heating occurs by means of a hot plate at the bottom, so I would say the more contact you have with the hotplate the better. A typical frozen entre takes around an hour to an hour and a half to get hot all through. Your food won't "cook"; it should be already cooked; but it will get quite hot. Aluminum is a good conductor of heat, and since burritos are round and wouldn't make good contact, I'd suggest wrapping the burrito in aluminum foil, and at the same time, see if you can find an aluminum tray with sides on it that will fit the burrito as closely as possible. Maybe one that would be used to bake a small loaf of bread. That way, the sides will get as hot as the bottom where the hotplate is and with the foil on wrapped around it, the heating process will be much quicker.

Depends on a lot of things. The pan I use will stay at about 120° on the lowest setting if I stir the food continuously.

you would need to ask the company. I cannot think of a recipe needing temps higher than 500 degrees.......at least none I use

Not sure if this will work but I'm thinking wrapping this in foil to prevent it from melting. I might give it a try. Will followup with results

I have never used it for food but I have made charms with a high heat glue gun and they have survived. The highest I have baked anything in it has been 275 degrees. I don't know if boiled sugar or syrup will be too hot.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, you can lower enough to keep food warm but the safe way would be to use a metal trivet and stir often. Sounds like a fun time.
