Electric cooker/warmers cook a batch, then switch themselves to keep-warm. Models up to 74 cups run on a standard 120 V outlet; the 80 and 90 cup models need a 208 V or 240 V circuit, so check the plug before you order. A model with a hinged, insulated lid holds heat and moisture better through a long service than one with a lift-off lid.
