Reviews of Cuisinart CWT-240 19-by-12-Inch Warming Tray

Customer Ratings:

The actual function of this warming tray is perfectly fine. What I did not appreciate is that one of the legs is slightly shorter than the other three, and of course there is no way to adjust the height. It's an easy fix to put something under the leg, but I didnt buy a high end product so I would have to play with it every time I use it.

Very high quality. Sits perfectly level on the counter. Thanks to its rubber legs it is not easily moved if bumped. Does a great job!

Cooking is not allowed on Shabbat, but keeping cooked food warm during Shabbat (and in some cases, warming up cooked food that is cold) is not only permissible, but considered part of the mitzvah of making Shabbat a delight. There are three techniques one can use to keep food warm.

The first option is to use a "blech" (from the German by way of Yiddish word for tin or sheet metal). It is a metal sheet used by many observant Jews to cover stovetop burners (and for some, the knobs/dials too) on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath), as part of the precautions taken to avoid violating the halachic prohibition against cooking on the Sabbath. The burners under the 'blech' can be set to low and will stay on throughout the sabbath. Food that is already cooked can be placed on top of the 'blech' and warmed.

Another option is to set the oven to a very low temperature (200 Degrees F)and put casseroles and pots with food in the oven to keep them warm.

The third option is to use an electric warming tray. This warming tray was purchased for the purpose of keeping food warm on Shabbat. The temperature stays low enough that food cannot be cooked, but warm enough to keep food warm, especially nice on a cold, winter night. The tray is well made, and easy to clean. It is also large enough to keep several dishes warmed. Overall, an excellent tray that met our needs perfectly.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart CWT-240 19-by-12-Inch Warming Tray

The Cuisinart Warming Tray was intended to replace a very old and very familiar workhorse. My old warming tray was very functional and was used for every special dinner or party before it finally died after years of use. I was unable to find a store anywhere in my area that had any sort of warming trays. I found this one at Amazon, and I have not been disappointed. It is a wonderful addition to my kitchen. It is just a bit smaller than my old unit, so does not house as many dishes. By the same token, the smaller footprint allows more counter space. It does not have a "hot spot" (for gravies and such)as my old one did (and which I miss), but the tray keeps everything piping hot. It is a lovely, sleek addition to the counter top. I feel certain that I will get many years of excellent service from this device, which joins many Cuisinart appliances in my kitchen.

Thank you

This very clean designed Warming Tray replaced two smaller older Sulton "Hot Trays" that were from my mother's kitchen in the 1970's. Unlike the older trays, the CWT-240 has clearly marked and accessable tempature controls in the front that actually change the tempature from 150F to 200F. Great for keeping pizza hot or bread warm.

At 19 by 12 inches, the tray is fairly imposing and dominates the table where it is located so it would be wise to measure where you will be using it.
