Portable Food Warming Tray

Dinner stays hot until everyone actually sits down.

The gap between food being ready and people being at the table is where a good meal goes lukewarm. This sits under your serving dishes and holds them at temperature without continuing to cook them, so the second helping is as good as the first.

Why this one

• Three heat settings — low to keep plates warm, high to hold a simmering dish. You choose, rather than getting one fixed temperature.
• Works with what you already own. Stainless, ceramic, glass and enamelware all sit on it directly.
• Non-slip surface, so dishes stay put while you serve instead of sliding as you spoon.
• Shuts itself off, with overheat protection, so forgetting about it isn't a problem.

The details

• 250W, three settings, roughly 15 x 12 in with a 5 ft cord
• Navy blue, with overheat protection and auto shut-off

Looking after it

Unplug, let it cool, wipe with a damp cloth. Don't immerse it.
