Keeping lasagna hot
Deb
04/25/10 		I will be serving lasagna at an open house. How do I keep it warm. I will be putting out 1 at a time while leaving the rest in the oven. Will it be eaten quick enough for me to just sit it out and serve a new one when it is gone or should I set them tray and all in a roasting pan or take the lasagna out and put in a roasting pan. I will be buying lasagna boxed from the store not homemade.
