It’s an awesome idea and it’s just perfect! So glad I bought it! I see a lot of people commenting saying that it’s inconvenient because the short electric cord to the warmer in the middle isn’t good because it don’t reach an outlet when it’s in the middle of the dining room table when you eat.. BUT the common sense way of going about that would be to plug in the warmer and heat it WHILE you are cutting the veggies and making the taco meat in the skillet so this way when you transfer the meat from the skillet to the warmer, the warmer is already hot and keeps the heat longer BUT common sense is not so common in this world anymore! Anyway, It’s a great idea for your family and I highly recommend buying it you will not be disappointed AT ALL
