Food Warming Mat - Fast Heating Silicone Electric Warming Tray with 4 Level Temperature, Raised Feet Protects Table, Roll Up Buffet Hot Plates Heat Pad, Portable Food Warmer for Parties Home Travel

This is an incredible silicone warming mat, it works well and is very useful for large get togethers when you need extra warmers. Very easy to use, it rolls up saving space. Versatile and durable.

We keep it cold in our house (around mid 60s) during colder months, so when we have a bigger meal to prepare, we have issues keeping everything at a nice eating temperature. Saw this as a solution and picked it up.This mat comes in a box with a store away bag for the heating mat. The heating mat rolls up and can be stored in the bag with a thin charging cable.First thing I noticed when opening, it does have a "new mat" smell to it. Had to lay it flat and air it out for a hour or so it didn't smell plasticky anymore.I plugged it in and set it on the kitchen counter, not sure what to expect. Started low (40C) and it didn't seem like it was going to do much given it was warming the bottom and my food was losing heat everywhere else. So then I just cranked it up to 80C and that seemed like it was going to do something. I'd recommend at least that setting unless you're trying to have a dish at a lukewarm temperature.I tested this out with a thin plate, thick plate, and two glass Tupperware containers. Overall, it did a decent job keeping everything warm. The one test I did was nuking some Mac and Cheese until it was 170F. It sat on the mat and was at 140F 20 minutes later which was perfect. I could see really large bowls being an issue since this is just conductive heating. If you have any metal dishes or plates, those would work well to conduct the heat.I did have a safety concern, but even at 80C, you could briefly touch the mat without any issue. The mat certainly gets hot, but it doesn't have that much heat capacity (like safely putting your hand in 450 F oven air vs scalding your hands in 200 F water).Features -4 temp settings - 40C/104F, 60C/140F, 80C/176F, 100C/212F3 timer settings - 1, 3, and 5 hour auto-shutoffOther comments -I wouldn't expect to be able to hear anything up on this. It's meant to keep things warm.I could see this being super useful to thaw things. I use a metal bowl with water to thaw packaged pouches or bottled liquids - this on the bottom would help a lot.Another use I could see would be any kind of yeast risen recipe. It's a bit on the hot side at 40C, so it might require some buffer between the bowl and the mat.Overall, looks great and works well. Looking forward to trying it out for other things.

The media could not be loaded. Very satisfied! This product is great. It doesn’t take up much space when it’s rolled up, looks very streamlined, and is not slippery. It’s easy to use, heats up quickly, and keeps food warm at three temperature settings between 104° and 212° with an optional 1-5 minute timer without having to cover the food. It quickly pre-warmed my plate while I cooked my meal. I bought it in this off white but am wondering about it’s stain resistance.

This is amazing, bought it for Holiday entertaining. We use it now on a regular basis. I like the versatility of having the entire mat to use for several dishes, not just 3 or 4 small circles. The whole mat heats and keeps food so warm. It rolls up for storage. we have so many inquiries about where we got it every time we entertain. Get it, you will be amazed how much you end up using it.

Light weight, keeps food warm, great for parties , easy to clean

tl;dr: Found out these existed. Bought the nicest looking one. Change my life!I have of course seen food warmers that are used at like buffets and stuff. But I had no idea that this type of low footprint product even existed! I randomly saw some YouTuber using this and was flabbergasted by the concept!I do pretty much all the cooking at home and tend to be a little OCD about cleaning and my hands and stuff. So many times, especially for meals that cool quicker like pasta, eggs, bacon, etc, I tend to end up only having a bite or two that are warm at best. That is if I remember to take a bite or two before a quick cleanup and hand wash. Honestly most of the time I'm eating 90% of my bacon and eggs at a very bleh temperature.Welp, not anymore!!! This is honestly kind of crazy to me. I know that to many this is probably a basic concept and maybe these have been around for a really long time, but fml if I had not idea! It just works.This mat has a great color and nice settings and includes a really nice storage bag with a strap. The cable has a good length and plugs/unplugs very easily. it heats up pretty quickly and conducts that into the plate and food nicely and rather quickly tbh. I was honestly surprised and did initially underestimate how good this thing would be. Like, I actually thought I could just grab the plate off the mat after a handful of minutes once I was ready to eat and everything would be okay. Nope, big mistake because the plate was HOT!A hot plate is soooo nice. It's why I love heating stuff in the oven on the plate I'll use for the meal. Which is great for reheating pizza, but not so much for something like bacon and eggs, or a nice pita.A quick warning that this is real heat. The first time I used it for my pita with hummus and meat, I had already put the pita inside the oven and just moved the plate from the oven to this mat, while I finished my meat and put on the hummus on the pita while it was on the mat. The pita cooked even further and got a lil crispy. So ya, while it's a horrible idea to think you can do something like cook on this mat, it can definitely further cook certain things by some degree.This actually led to a nice new flow for certain things like the pita! I can just take the pita out the fridge and place it on a plate and onto the mat! By the time I'm ready to add stuff onto the pita it is nice and warm and most importantly soft! Much better than the oven tbh.So ya, as a home chef I have finally found a tool/gadget that made it into my top 10! Had not had that happen in a handful of years since I discovered immersion blenders! This one is of more consequence and significance as well! Being able to eat warm food for longer is so nice! Especially since I'm a slow eater.I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone out there that enjoy hot food!

Game changer for parties. Keeps dishes warm. Portable and stores compact
