Has anyone ever used one of these tortilla warmers in place of a bread basket to keep their dinner rolls/biscuits/crescent rolls warm? Thanks you!

I have not used it as a bread basket to keep rolls warm. With the lid closed, you will want to keep the rolls to about 2.5 inches in height. Good idea.

It's not very deep, but I suppose you could keep dinner rolls warm/moist in it. It's great for pancakes, too! :)

I have not used it that way, but it is so shallow it would only hold 3-4 crescent rolls. works well for tortillas which have no depth. Might hold 2-3 biscuits. check out the dimensions on this item

i have one and I don't think so. Actually my husband accidentally cooked some garlic bread in it with a bowl of chocolates left over from Halloween ontop... they didn't melt, weren't hot.

I have not used this product yet. I wouldn't think I would keep my tortillias in the container to keep them fresh. Just to keep them warm after heating.

I like the toaster as well but here's the description noted in the manual "Warming rack to display croissants, rolls, muffins and other bread products on the table (the warming rack does not allow you to heat croissants, rolls, muffins and other bread products)". In answer to your question; no, I haven't tried using for heating. I really doesn't appear that it would do much as the bread - or whatever - would sit high above the heat. It does look nice when the toaster is not in use though.

I have only used it for home gatherings. The electric warmer does keep food adequately warm. I am pleased with this food warmer and would purchase over again.

I bought one and love it. I took out the small pan inside (your suppose to set the smaller one in water on the inside) and it worked nicely. I bought a very large can of nacho cheese and placed the rest of the cheese in baggies (food saver bags that were sealed) and placed those bags in a crock pot of water so it would stay warm and I could just cut a corner and pour it into the paragon. Set it on high and it will stay warm. If you have leftovers spoon it out into a container and refriderate. My food saver works wonders for this because the nacho cheese has a shelve life and you do not have to refridgate unless you open the package. I bought one and love it.

If you have an electrical outlet anywhere near the patio, get an electric coffee cup warmer, it works great. If you don't have one it doesn't really cost very much to have one put in, I did. Hate coffee that gets cold ;) Now I want a heater for under my plate to keep my food warm! Maybe I could try microwaving my micro back pad - worth a try.

Hello, and no, you heat the tortillas first then put them in the warmer but I must tell you that I was very dissapointed with the warmer, it does not keep the tortillas warm for very long. It works better if you wrap whatever you heat up in aluminum foil after you warm it up and then place it in the warmer.

I am pretty sure it can flatten bread dough. I usually make my tortilla 50/50 corn and wheat flour. Fried bread dough with cheese sounds delicious.

I needed to know the same thing. By looking at the Brown Sugar Bear "Bun Warmer" description (same brand also sold on Amazon) I found instructions for heating in the oven. So I figured that would work for drying the Brown Sugar Bear to use for keeping my crackers crisp. I followed these instructions: "heat the bear in the oven @ 250 degrees for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely before placing it in a sealed container with the crackers, etc". It works like a charm! For keeping bread warm, heat the same way then immediately place the heated bear/s in the bottom of a lined serving basket or stoneware dish & place bread on top. I didn't find anything about this being microwave safe.

I have used it as a plate warmer. As one may expect, the lowest plates are the warmest. I usually have 2 stacks of 3-4 plates, and use the topmost ones for ourselves, and the warmer ones for our guests.

I just tried a frozen loaf of Nature's Own Whole Grain; and it did not fit (maybe if the bread wasn't frozen, I could possibly fit two loaves without being too squished. Maybe French or Italian loaves that aren't so high might fit. I use the shelves for my dish towels, rags, hot pads, plastic wrap, foil, etc. and they work wonderfully.

I have a Silpat and only use it for pastry/cookies. After trying some recipes from the Bread Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum where she recommends a SilPAIN for bread, I purchased one through Amazon. Works really well, specifically for high temps.

I use mine to keep sugar from clumping; not sure when they changed it to be listed as a bun warmer.

I have not used it in this way but I think it would work. I have had good results keeping plates with food on them warm.

I bought mine to replace a cloth I'd had for years. I just scraped it with a flat blade, added a bit more flour, and scraped it again. Then I store it covered with paper towels, wrapped around the rolling pin and stored in a clean plastic bag. But if you're rolling out spicy dough, you might want to wash it with warm water and gentle cycle. Btw, I also bought the non-slip product to place the pastry cloth on...and roll it along with the whole thing. I love the non-slip thing as the cloth stays put!

I just use the product for keeping casseroles warm so I have not tried to use it for any other use. It works very well for what It is intended for and this is the second one I have had.
