Am I imagining such a thing exists?

I have a large electric roaster and seem to remember a partitioned insert being available that would let you keep three thing warm at once. Darned if I can find one, though. Was I imagining it?

I think it is called a "buffet server". Oster makes them. nt Atticus Aug 2021 #3

You might try contacting Oster about buying just the insert. They do sell "replacement parts", so Atticus Aug 2021 #6

that rested on the rim and had three equal sections. You could put water in the bottom and keep food warm in the insert. Had one many years ago.

I have an Oster 18-quart roaster and was hoping to just find an insert.

I was hoping for a cheap easy solution for keeping food warm, but will probably go back to lining up two crockpots and an Instantpot. That’s if we have our Labor Day get together at all with the covid situation.
