How do you keep food warm at a party without using a chafing dish?
I’m having a party for my little boy and need ideas on keeping food warm. I will have some things in a chafing dish but I do not have enough to hold all the foods. Also I plan to put the hotdogs in boats made of cardstock with a pirate sail on a toothpick so I do not think I can keep it cute and warm too. It’s a pirate birthday party.

Have you thought about using a cloth bag filled with rice, heated in the microwave and put in a cooler with the hot food? This would keep the food hot for quite a while. Never tried it but I think it might work.

Foods can be prepared using crockpots.

Ahoy Mate…how about wrapping the boats in tin foil.
Bundle the tin foil on each one leaving room for a tie,
but instead of a bow or tie use a pirate patch.
When have them eat the warm hot dog
boat with one eye like a pirate, they will get a kick out of it.
However, judging from “my little boy” I really do
not think they care if it is hot or not, kids will eat
cold pizza, hot dogs, even soup.
In your case it will too much fun eating it to care
if it is hot and besides pirates do not have ovens!
Don’t forget to make the chairs look like boat seats,
of course after singing happy birthday to the birthday
boy, mate over board!
