Serving buffet from the stove, classless or OK?
DH and I are middle class with mid-class friends, in our 50s. dinner parties people wear jeans, nice sweater. When people come for dinner and we're ready to serve, we have them come into the kitchen, grab a plate then they serve themselves buffet style with the side dishes like potatoes, veg., etc., on the stove, people help themselves from the warm pots. Is this classless or OK?
Thanks. I mean buffet from the stove rather than buffet from the kitchen table. Is it OK or TOO informal? We;re not trying to impress, but we don't want to look classless, either.
We eat in the dining room bur serve from the kitchen. The pots I use with handles aren't fancy enough for a DR table so easier than tranferring to ANOTHER pot I have them serve themselves from the stove and keep low heat under the pots.
If you've invited more people than can sit around your table, it's okay. But if not, then why aren't you putting the food on the table and inviting your guests to help themselves there? The food won't cool off that much before it's finished, and if that's really a concern, then invest in a chafing dish or keep the second portions warm separately in the oven.
I do agree with the previous poster that you're not being classless, just too casual.
In The Kitchen! Singer Buffet!
