How to Keep Your Nacho Bar Fresh All Game Long
Now that you know you can set up a delicious nacho bar party snack box with a little help from Wings and Rings, you may be wondering how to put it together for everyone to enjoy. Here are some practical tips to help you manage your setup, maintain the temperature of your ingredients, and make cleanup easy:
- Keep it hot: Some toppings, like queso and any proteins, may need an assist to stay warm for the whole game. You can:
- Transfer queso and grilled chicken into warming trays
- Use a small slow cooker to keep the queso melted and warm
- Serve chicken in a foil tray, which can be warmed in an oven at 200 to 250 F. If you plan to hold food longer than 15 to 20 minutes in the oven, make sure it is at least 140 F when you serve.
- Divide toppings: Use several small bowls for toppings to maintain freshness (already included when you order our nacho bar).
- Separate utensils: Provide individual serving utensils for each topping to avoid flavor mixing and to make it easier for multiple people to build their nachos at the same time.
- Organize cleanup: Set up a designated trash area and have plenty of napkins available for easy cleanup.
