Is the tray oven safe? Can I cook the food in it via the oven and then transfer it to the chafing dish to keep warm?

You probably could...but they are relatively thin. Not the typical heavy duty pan. I baked rolls in them, because I needed a few extra pans...so I used these and they came out beautiful. :)

Absolutely, the pan is the same material as any other regular hotel pan. It can be used in regular or convection type ovens at temperatures up to 500 degrees or broil setting.

We have a gas oven, and use it on the lowest rack. I think they don't want you to put it on the floor of the oven so that it doesn't block the natural convection currents in the oven. You may get uneven heating if you do that.

Where did you get an instruction booklet. I have a users guide and it says nothing about adding water. However, it would make sense that food would stick or burn without. Most chafing dishes use water in the base.

i'm sorry, I don't know. I gave it as a gift. I would assume since it's a cooling rack you wouldn't want to put it in the oven. Just guessing.

I wouldn't. If you like it and its working out for you, wash it by hand. Mine got a small crack so I sent it back. I have seen other reviews about cracking. I didn't like it that much to reorder. Still have found no plates that have really kept food warm for very long.

I have not used the tray but it is that dark enamel looking finish. I always put foil over it to cook. I don't believe anything is non-stick. The racks are just regular racks but they do clean off well. I did put foil in the bottom even though they say not to. It is just too hard to clean up spills without the foil in the bottom. I never broil in my oven I have learned from past small ovens that it makes a mess that is not worth it to clean up. All in all I am very happy with it but I wish the timer would go higher than 90 minutes.

Yes it is safe to use in the oven. I place it over my broiler pan to catch all the dripping juices and set it at a height appropriate for broiling. I cooked kabobs this way 5 or 6 times now. I only wish it came with extra skewers. We make at least 3 lows of kabobs per use, so that's in and out of the oven three times for one dinner. We use wooden skewers for the extras we don't have the metal ones for. Ours is a little blackened now and we can't get all the char off anymore with regular washing but I'm sure it would be the same if used over the grill over and over.

I put the dough on the tray just to shape it but I do not bake the challah on it. I turn the dough over a flat tray before putting it on the oven. And the shape comes out great.

You should be able to. They are 3 individual metal trays. But the top cover is plastic so I wouldn't put that in the oven! We made everything ahead of time in pots/pans & then transferred to the trays after.

If you add water to the bottom tray like directed, wipe with a paper towel or old newspaper and you will be good to go. The cooking surface is also easy to clean.

I have never tried but I wouldn't hesitate to put it in the oven on medium, this is a very sturdy tray.

I have put a hot pot or a tray out of the oven for 5 seconds (because the handles were too hot) and it was fine. I don't remember if it said in the brochure that it was heat proof. I would probably not put a hot pot on it for a long time, though, just in case. It's been 3 months since we refinished it and it looks great.

You can put it in the dishwasher (on the top rack), but I wouldn't. You cannot bake with it.

You can if you want but you don't have to. Underneath the trays is a flat hot pan so that keeps the trays and food warm

Sorry, I have not tried that. I usually just put down an oven mitt and place the dish from the oven on the mitt until it have cooled a little. I have formica - like countertops, so I don't like to put a such a hotdish directly on the countertop.
