Serving in Style

This is the time of year where family and friends gather together to celebrate the season.  At Village Kitchenware, we have everything that you need to serve your guests in style, and, at the right price.  So whether you are entertaining a few guests, or expecting a crowd for a football party, we invite you to come check out our selection of equipment that will have your serving in style.

One of the easiest ways to entertain when you have a lot of guests is to serve dinner buffet style.  This way you avoid the ritual of passing serving dishes around the table which can become an annoyance.  People get to mix and mingle, just make sure that you are serving them foods that are easy to eat as you walk and talk.  Our Rectangular Stainless Steel Chafing Dish is a large capacity serving dish that is heated with two sterno cans.  It has a water comparment that keeps your food warm without drying out.  The interior dimensions are an impressive 21-1/8" x 13-1/8", practically enough room to feed a small army.  It has sturdy construction, but, is quite attractive and at $59.95, it is very affordable as well.

What holiday dinner would be complete without turkey and giblet gravy.  Never serve cold gravy again when you have a Gravy Boat with Electric Warmer.  This handsome boat comes in either black or white and they hold 18 ounces of gravy, sauce or syrup at just the right temperature for serving.  The gravy boat is made of ceramic and has an easy pour spout to help prevent spills.  Bring your turkey to the table with our Embossed Turkey Platter, it has a raised turkey and harvest design, it is ceramic and measures 16 1/2" x 12 1/2" x 1" thick.  Better yet, it is oven and dishwasher safe.

No matter what style of china you have, our Glass Serving Dish with Verdigris Iron Stand is sure to compliment your table setting as well as receive them.  It is one of the prettiest serving dishes we've found and it works nicely whether you are serving at the table or buffet style.  The oblong serving dish is made from glass and the lid has a lovely verdigris flower finial on top.  The dish sits on a handsome twisted iron stand with a verdigris finish, this server measures 7" H x 12" W x 9.5" D.

Copper for Christmas

If you're looking for a gift for that someone special, copper kitchenware is always a great choice.  Copper always adds a sense of warmth yet sophistication to any kitchen or dining room.  There are so many great items to choose from, too.  At Village Kitchenware, we have some great gift ideas that will be much appreciated, but, won't cause you to go into sticker shock.

Our Hammered Copper Canister Set serves a dual purpose.  This set is very attractive and is a great addition to any kitchen countertop.  At the same time, it will keep flour, sugar, rice, coffee, tea, or other staples fresh and ready to use.  The canisters have a special clear finish on them that resists tarnishing, so they are easy to keep looking new.  The set includes a 4 Qt., 2 Qt., 1.5 Qt. and 1 Qt. canister.

Ideal for entertaining and any special occasion, the Round Copper Chafing Dish is as beautiful as it is practical.  The secret to the dish is a 3 Qt. stainless steel food pan liner that actually holds the food.  A water bath keeps your entree warm without drying it out.  The chafing dish sits on an attractive iron stand and the dish itself has brass accents and a brass knob.  The adjustable fuel holder takes standard gel canisters.

What cook wouldn't love to own a handsome Old dutch Copper Domed Pot Rack?  Pot racks are a very stylish way to display good cookware and keep it handy at the same time.  They save on cabinet space and this copper beauty will add a designer look to any kitchen.  Made from heavy gauge copper with a lacquer coating for easy care, it comes with sixteen hanging hooks with a grid for additional storage.  The pot rack is 18½"D x 21"H so it will fit in almost any sized kitchen.
