Cordless Kitchen Platters

Sleek Warming Tray Keeps Hot Foods at Safe Temperatures

— January 21, 2009 — Lifestyle

The platter heats up in 8 minutes and can hold a steady temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 60 minutes--perfect for when you’ve planned a buffet-style lunch or a small party for friends and coworkers.

The Cordless Warming Tray’s special surface distributes heat evenly, making it much easier to keep food warm regardless of how much food is placed on the tray or where it is placed. There’s even a special thermostat that helps protect the tray from overheating. It’s definitely a device no self-respecting host or hostess should be without.
