I kept my oven on 200’ all Pesach and it was perfect.

I use a griddle on a timer.
I have 1 for pesach, and I make matza brei, scrambled eggs, and pancakes straight on it. I have anther one for shabbos and y"t, which I also use for eggs and pancakes (obvi only on y"t!).
To warm things up without burning, I put overturned pans on top of the griddle, and then my pans of food on top of the overturned ones.

I leave on my crockpot (without the crock in it) and put a (disposable) cookie sheet over it & use that to heat most things. I put certain things inside the base in a foil pan (like ribs in sauce that I want to heat for longer/at a higher temp). If that won’t be enough I leave on one burner.

I try to avoid leaving the oven on for two days when I can. Hot plate with a timer is great.

I am not organized enough to avoid cooking on Yom Tov, so I leave 2 burners on and the oven on 350.

Whatever I have made in advance gets heated up in the oven or on the stove.

One Pesach I was super-organized and heated most of the food up on sternos. That also worked well, although it takes longer.

Crockpot and blech over low/medium flame.
I likely won't be heating milchig besides blintzes, which I can do on the flame.

Oven at 220. One burner with blech.

I heat dairy double wrapped in oven or on blech.

Most food will be pre-cooked. I’ll make a yapchik on Friday and leave in oven all day.

I use a crock pot for meat and toaster oven on a timer for dairy (or double wrapped meat if I’m not afraid of spills!). My oven has a shabbos mode and cooking timer, so I use it only for the first night and then it goes off after the meal.
No counter space for a warmer, and every time I leave my oven on overnight, our ultra-sensitive smoke alarm goes off.

We do too. I also use the flame to light for the next night.

Old fashioned blech , still the best. Allows for warming and cooking.

I mostly cook fresh on yomtov, and use things that are quickly made, that would not come out too well on shabbes, because they would not do well with long heating...
The only thing I might make in advance are boil potatoes, to make them into hash brown on yomtov...

I cook only on stovetop... I have a total of 4 places to put pots...

Between meals I either use a timer or put water to heat on the stove...

In real emergencies (e.g. black out) I used to candle to heat a fondue cooker with alcohol...

For those using hot plate which one do you recommend. I saw in Buzz(Brooklyn) many different models with different features. Any recommendations greatly appreciated?

thank you,
