Warming Mat for Food - Full Surface Rapid Heating, Rollable & Portable Food Warmer Mat with 6 Temperature Settings and 1-4 Hours Adjustable Timer, Silicone Heating Mat for Party Buffet (Black)

This electric food warmer mat arrived in its branded box, securely packed. First impression, it has a fairly generous size and can easily accommodate two dinner plates. The mat is also well made and looks durable. It definitely keeps food warm and therefore ideal to use in Winter season.The mat has temperature settings from 60 to 100 degrees. It takes a while to warm up though so ideally you need it ready before you place your food on it. Another great thing about this mat is that it can easily be folded and put away when not in use, so is a great space saving solution. The mat can obviously become warm when in use but it doesn't 'burn' your skin. However, you should always use it with caution. The mat also has full coverage from end to end and not just in the center which again is brilliant. Price wise, it is probably a little on the higher side (£69.99 at the time of this review) but given its use and practicality, it is still worth it in my opinion.All in all, very pleased with this wonderful and innovative product and would definitely recommend it. 5 Stars!

TL:DR It's a large rubber mat that you plug in and it gets quite hot.As above, but it's worth noting that metal dishes/plates do rather better than pottery items as the metal is better at transferring the heat from the mat.It heats up quickly which is nice, and from my thermal camera I can see that the heating elements cover well over 95% of the total area which is also nice to see..I've dropped a star as the storage method is to roll it up, but this creates a fairly large object to find a home in the kitchen, would have been better if it had been a rigid flat sheet that would be easier to slot into a cupboard.

Acquire item to review, order arrived on time and well packed.This is a very useful item for those who like to keep their plates / food hot.Very easy to use, was pleasantly surprised on how quickly it warmed up, plus the thickness of the mat. Due to it's size, was very easy to keep multiple items on the heat versus just one or two. I will say at the time of this review, £69.99 does seem a little expensive for such an item from my perspective. It's great because unlike traditional hostess trolleys it doesn't take up any space, plus it does roll up for easy storage when not in use.5/5 because it works really well, niche item.

This warming mat does a really good job at keeping your food warm continuously – something which is very welcome with how long my partner takes to get ready before eating!Then heating mat area is generous size (59cm x 40cm), which is big enough to fit 2 plates with room to save should you have any other small pots you’d like to place. The black coloured one looks nice for a silicone piece and has elevated silicon feet underneath to help protect the surface it’s on.Maybe I’ve been spoiled by other heating devices, but I was surprised with how long it took to warm to even 60 degrees, so if you plan to use it you can’t just turn it on once the food is ready. I also would have liked some sort of indicator as to when the temperature has been reached, as the symbol/s don’t turn off or change to let you know.Despite the niggles, it is so convenient I’m still more than happy to recommend it as it easily beats using the microwave to warm food several times once cooked and can be folded away when not in use to take up hardly any space.

When we prepare food for a lot of people we find it hard to get all dishes to be made at the same time or we all chat too much and the food on the table gets cold.This looked like a good solution to this when compared with our old 1970's Chinese restaurant solution with the metal pate holders with tea lights keep cooking the dish in one small splot.What was good to find out was that the warming area was large and almost edge to edge of the mat. You can see the heating elements so know that the heating area should heat evenly, and it was. This meant that it did not matter where you placed your dish as long as it was inside the marked area.You can adjust the temper from 60 to 100 deg c and have timer control as well. There is the ability to lock the controls. Obviously the mat gets hot. We have mainly used this at 60 deg c and you can touch the hot part of the mat but it was hot but wont burn you unlike our existing tea light solution.So you may be wondering if this was ramped up to 100 deg c then what happens to the table? I was concerned with this but this has been considered and so the mat is not wafer thin and is about just over 1.5 cm thick but has a based that is propped up by lots of silicon spikes so there is air flow underneath and the base is raised.The big game changer for us when compared with other solutions is that you can roll this up making it easy to store in the cupboard.Priced at £70 at the time of review. For us this was a good solution for making our dinner parties less stressful when we want to make sure the food is warm.
