Can you use it to keep hot hors de oeuvres warm?

Yes, I think so. I've only used mine once for casseroles, but it worked well. For a long period of time I'd put aluminum foil or some such over the hors d'oeuvres.

Yes. This was bought for the Fire Department to keep their food warm for their Monday night dinner, since they did not have a stove at the time, worked great. They still use it to keep food hot after they built a new fire station with a wonderful kitchen, just works great.

Yes! Temperature control allow you to regulate how hot or warm to keep your food.

I believe I read somewhere that it was advisable to let it cool just a little. I put my dish in while it was nice and warm but not hot. It stayed warm for hours . I was pleased.

Yes, used it when it is cool outdoors, however will not keep you warm on a cold evening.

Yes, but leave plenty of clearance on sides because it does get hot. You don't want to melt anything or start a fire. :)

I wouldn't cook the soup in it- not a crock pot type warmer. It does heat up soup to an almost boil, but not for that intention I don't believe. Great for keeping hot.

In my opinion, although it is not ideal, you could use the container for soup BUT it is not insulated so it will not stay hot and you would feel the heat when holding the container.

Yes you can but the little bottom piece will get stuck on bottom so when you pull them out ( by nipple) have a napkin to sit it on. Simple and way better than any warmer I've used.

I'm not sure, possibly. I've only ever heated cooked foods in it. The hot plate gets pretty hot, I'm just not sure it would get hot enough for that.

You could but right from the time I bought my first 1 over 30 yrs ago...I was told to always keep the cookwell in the unit...when you used it for keeping food warm at a party or so you can remove it and put some hot water in it and put a special collar on it n put 3 food pans in it to keep food hot...it is great for that....my 1st Nesco ,I bought ,because my stove oven died and I had to make cookies for a wedding...I baked over 1,300 cookies in it...I have bought 2 or 3 since....love them.

I suppose you could, but I use the matching travel cup for coffee. I have never put anything hot in this. One reason to not use this for hot beverages is the size of the drink spout. It's pretty good size and I could see getting a big slug of a hot beverage and really burning yourself. I can say this works really well for my cold beverages so I would think would be fine for keeping hot beverages hot.

Yes you can. Lying on it does make it warmer. I thought the temp was perfect but if you want it cooler you can always add a towel.

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.

Not sure why you would want to.. The weber cover fits over all. I have kept many things warm: like chile for hot dogs. grilled onions for hamburgers. But ya you can.

Yes, you can use heat, on the lower settings.. It won't melt it ,or burn it in the least, as long as you are careful, and watch what you're doing. :)

you can use it for that but it is not well made. I bought a SS Thermos and no longer use this one.
