When it comes to serving party food to my guests, no matter how many or few they are, the last thing I want is additional unnecessary dishes to wash. I mean, it’s already too exhausting to plan for and prepare party dishes, and then serve and entertain guests, but that’s alright because I do enjoy that part. But come dishwashing time, all I wanna do is pass out in bed. Now this season is lined up with lots of parties to host and attend, and I could really use a helping hand in whatever eco-friendly way, just to avoid or at least minimize the dishwashing chores. I got my dishwashing-saving tactics to back me up, and my new Rubbermaid Party Serving Kit which is so useful in multiple ways for the whole duration of a party.
The Rubbermaid Party Serving Kit is a smart and versatile way of serving party food in style. It includes the following which are all dishwasher safe and BPA-free:
- One removable insert for holding 12 standard-sized cupcakes or muffins (or similar-sized appetizers and snacks)
- One removable insert for holding 24 mini cupcakes (or similar-sized hors d’oeuvres)
- The main tray for holding just any kind of party food (like cookies, cakes, pies, etc.)
- Tall, domed, transparent lid with upper grab handle and two secure latches to maintain food freshness
I’m so ready to serve my home-baked goodies to my guests using the inserts and the main tray. I love that the inserts are snug enough to securely hold the cupcakes so they’re suitable for travel when we go to potluck parties. The design is very classy too, and really makes baked goodies so pretty to look at. I can also use this kit as a pastry keeper (or for any kind of dish) even if there’s no party!
Actually, I’ve been an ‘expert’ in reducing quantities in dishwashing, particularly in preparing ingredients for baking. Baking calls for a lot of bowls and utensils, and the sticky batter, frosting mix, and cake crumbs they leave is not easy to clean! So to minimize the stacking of used bowls, I carefully make sure to use the same measuring cup or spoon for dry ingredients, and one for wet ingredients in particular order where egg whites for merengue should be the first to use the cleanest cup. I use only one mixing bowl for the batter as much as possible, or at least two for fluffing egg whites if needed. And to make the bowl for the frosting easier to clean, I scrape the frosting remnants with bread and eat it!
So how will this Rubbermaid Party Serving Kit help me with saving from dishwashing? Well, it encouraged me to save further not only on food preparation but also when serving food to guests. I no longer have to give them an individual saucer and fork for every single serving of each party food that can actually be eaten with hands (like cupcakes and finger foods). Besides, food is yummier when eaten with clean hands! I can introduce and serve food to them by batch, with the help of the multi-use inserts of the Party Serving Kit, so I have some kind of quantity control. And if there’s anything left and untouched from the party food I serve, I just have to put on the lid and safely store it.
Get your Rubbermaid Party Serving Kit and make the most of it in every party!
