Does it hold hot food well?

We used it for graduation party for 350 people, the plates were great, none of them broke, leaked or melted. We had hot roast beef hoagies and hot scalloped potatoes and it worked great no complaints!

We used this for a community dinner and put chicken and noodles in them as well as beans and ham that were both hot and did not have any problems.

It is real good at that. it is light and sturdy and i use it all the time for the big parties. A great purchace. 500 set looks huge but it stores compactly

I use them for school lunches and they are super for casseroles or burgers etc... They do keep the food nice and hot.

It does... I love it but i try not to put hot drinks in it since the cup holder does move a lot.

It should be able to hold that. I had my crockpot and other small kitchen appliances stored in mine without any issue.

I have not tried hot food, but my guess would be that it stay warm, not hot without a hot pad.

Yes. It holds the heat well if you preheat the mug with hot water before you fill it with coffee.

It isn't hot enough to actually cook anything or, I think, burn anyone. It is effective though to keep already hot dishes warm. It's also a really good size -- I can fit a turkey platter and large dressing casserole dish on it and squeeze in the gravy boat. I'm very pleased with this item!

It does get pretty hot. I would not store anything on top of it that would melt. The sides and front are not too bad, but the top does heat up pretty good.

The lid and handles do get hot since they are metal. As long as you use pot holders or oven mitts it's fine.

I'm not sure if it keeps food hot. I bought this for my wife and she uses it only for keeping her food cold. I have my doubts on if it could keep food warm. Maybe for a short time.

It holds quite well. Just don't overload it with dishes bc it will not fit causing the dishes or pot to fall over. Trust me i tried to overload it with pots and dish..my pots were falling over. :)

Yes, these plates are fine for hot foods. We put hot food directly on them.

No, not well. The clips on the sides connect to the bottom with the middle in place. They would be too long without it. It will hold a pretty big burger/bagel both dimensions.

Yes it can. I have even put hotter things on it. It is very durable. I love it.

It does seem to distribute the heat pretty well. The heating element is a sideways U, so in the middle gets heat from 3 sides and the material conducts well. The only spot that may be a little less hot would be where the two sides meet, because of the grease drain, but not enough to unevenly cook something.

Warm, yes, but not extremely hot. If it's too hot to eat, don't pour it in directly.

I use mine every day to take my lunch to work. it is wearing well and keeps food cool for a long time

I wouldn't use it for hot food because the interior is a kind of plastic that just might stick to a dish. Someone suggested wrapping the dish in a towel, but I think the heat might distort the lining.
