Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rival BR200 Roaster Oven Buffet Server

Customer Review: Misadvertised--small capacity and doesn't fit well
Summary: 1 Stars

I love the 18-quart Rival roaster but am sorely disappointed in their buffet server. Both configurations (BR-200 and BR-300, which is the one I purchased) are advertised on the Rival website as having two 2-quart pans and one 4-quart pan. In reality, they both are only HALF that size (two 1-quart pans and one 2-quart pan). When I called the company, a rep said that was an error on their website, but he didn't seem concerned about correcting it, or the fact that everyone else who sells it has picked up that same incorrect size info.
Also, the buffet frame was built to fit Rival's 16-quart roaster and wobbles around inside their 18-quart roaster, even though the product info says it "fits most 18-quart and 20-quart roaster ovens." The Rival rep said this wording is meant to convey the fact that it will fit Rival's models of that size, and probably some other brands, too. If you don't mind it wobbling around, I guess it "fits."
I would love to have the deep pan sizes that Rival mis-advertises. If the real pans weren't made so shallow (probably to fit the smaller 16-quart model), the sizes they advertise might be possible. When someone buys an 18- or 20-quart roaster to accommodate guests, they will not be able to feed all their guests with 1-quart pans for side dishes.
In the future, Rival should make a buffet server to fit each of their roasters (length, width and height), rather than advertise that one size will fit all, and hope nobody minds the wobbly frame and smaller pans.
If some other manufacturer comes up with a buffet to fit the 18-quart Rival roaster, I will buy it. It's a great roaster!

Description of Rival BR200 Roaster Oven Buffet Server

Rival Roaster Oven Buffet Server

Multiply the functions of your electric roaster with this buffet server set from Rival. The set?s construction lets you keep three foods warm in one roaster and easily remove individual trays for refilling. Designed to fit most 18- and 20-quart roaster ovens, the set includes an enamel-coated metal frame and three anodized aluminum dishes for consistent heat distribution. Use of the server is straightforward--simply fill your roaster half-way with water and turn it on. About 30 minutes later, the unit will be ready for the serving set and hot food. Keep in mind that the server is not intended for the cooking of food, just for keeping it hot during serving. The entire set is safe in the dishwasher, and Rival includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
