Yes, there are 72 items in this set. We recommend that you inspect the product immediately after receiving it to ensure that everything is in working order, and that you order directly from Amazon rather than a third-party seller. We never want a customer to be disappointed because of an item sold by a third party that is damaged or missing pieces. Unfortunately, we are unable to regulate third-party sellers; however, we want to ensure that you receive exactly what you ordered and expected.
Normally, I'm more precise with my answers, but I used all of the pans that came with the set last year (good quality ones), but I replaced them a few times for different events and I don't recall ever seeing a difference in depth between what they shipped me and what I can pick up at Costco or Walmart. The larger full sized steam pans for putting the water in are just slightly over 3 inches in depth, and the half sized steam pans are about 2 9/32 inch in depth I hope this information is useful.
Thank you for your interest in Sterno! Compatible replacement pans can often be found at restaurant supply stores, party supply stores, or by searching for "Disposable Steam Table Pans" on Amazon.

I ordered these because I needed to work with a large group of people in a short amount of time. This order does not include any large water pans. As a result, both the image and the description are incorrect. When you try to fit the same pan size into the same size pan for the water cushion, you end up with double the regular pans, which is completely unprofessional. I'm at my wit's end with this catering job, so I'm sprinting to Savannah in the hopes of finding the water pans. Meanwhile, I've placed an order for another multi-use set. via an amazon seller who is more dependable. There is an error in this description. If I don't find the water pans by tomorrow, I'll look like a fool.
This set has seen a lot of action- even the water pans a number of times All you need are more regular pans to fit in the water pan, which you can find at Costco or Dollar Tree. The serving utensils can be used again and again. One set of rings was broken by accident, but everything else was fine and could be reused at another family gathering.
For a large event, this is without a doubt the best deal. We decided to have a potluck buffet dinner for Thanksgiving this year. Each couple who was invited received two pans with lids. Everyone brought hot food, which we put on the warming trays and ate at the same time. The leftovers were taken home by the chefs, and cleanup was a breeze. br>br>The set came with all of the necessary utensils; all we needed to purchase separately was the actual sterno.
I ordered these because I was catering a wedding reception, and I was blown away by how sturdy each of the pans was, as well as how easy they were to clean and reuse. Most of the time, I throw away pans because they are bent out of shape or have food stuck to them. I intend to place another order.
After many years of ordering, this is the first time I've had a bad experience. I wasn't able to use the warming trays. The warmers couldn't use the aluminum bottom containers because they were too small and cheap. This product arrived the day before my event, and it was completely ruined because no food could stay warm. I was unable to purchase the appropriate trays for my event because I had spent the money on these warmers.
Because of some negative reviews, I was hesitant to order, but I'm glad I did because everything arrived exactly as promised.
This is what I used for my daughter's 8th grade graduation party. There was no shortage of supplies. The event was catered, and the majority of the food had already arrived in aluminum trays. I simply popped my catered food on top of the large trays that held the water. I threw the trays away after the party and put the racks back in the box for next time; I'm very happy with this purchase.
Because the aluminum serving trays' gauge could have been thicker (similar to seasonal aluminum turkey roasting pans), it's important not to overfill them. The trays were easy to recycle and were bought for single use. You won't be able to use it more than once!.
