Cordless Warming Tray by Salton | Medium Electric Hot Plate | Cooking, Serving & Warming Tray | 23-3/4” x 7-3/4” Hot Plate

Perfect size to accommodate many plates to keep warm. Easy charge and the tray stays hot up to nearly 90 minutes. This versatile and portable cordless (after charging) tray can be placed where you need it as opposed to always near an electric outlet. Easy to clean. This is a solid product for the price.

Game changer. Being able to take the heated plate to the table, keeping things warm within easy reach is very useful. Small (23 3/4 x7 3/4) fits on a dinning table but leaves room for things around it. Holds a 9x13 & a small platter or three Corelle casseroles. Still warm after an hour but note its WARM at that point, not hot like first heated (which is too hot to touch). Cons: no temp setting, even when left plugged in. Cycles on and off. The other is, while it looks sleek it scratches easily. Should be a harder metal to help with that. Good product I see using often. Not just for special occasions.

I already had this exact same warmer which I originally bought a few years back at Bed, Bath & Beyond. This largest version, the TWT-40, 1000 watt, is awesome. I have used it at Thanksgiving, and for extra-large lasagna pans catered in, hot dips at parties, etc. You can leave it plugged in and the food will actually sizzle. If you heat it up 10-15 minutes and use it cordless style, it will keep your food HOT for an hour plus. They are very well constructed, compact & nice looking. I ordered 2 more on amazon, and they are perfect. I have borrowed my sister-in-laws expensive chafing warmers--heavy duty stainless steel. They are beautiful and work great, BUT if you have to use several of them, they require cleaning, and they are heavy and tricky to manipulate in the sink. No fun when you're tired at the end of a long night of entertaining. No need for that with these cordless warming trays; all you do is wipe them down. That's what convinced me to buy these instead. I'm very satisfied and highly recommend!

I bought the 3-plate warming tray as a present for my Mom earlier this year. I figure it'll come in handy for meals at holidays or family gatherings with many dishes. I've tried it out myself a few times. Here are my thoughts: * It works as advertised-- you plug it for around 8 minutes to heat it up, and the food on it really stays warm for about an hour. (I timed it.) * This is important: Plates with perfectly flat bottoms work better. More surface area in contact with the warming tray. * The power cord is very short. If you plan on plugging in the warming tray while it's sitting on your dining table, you may need an extension cord. * There is no ON/OFF switch. You turn it off by unplugging it. So you can't just leave the tray plugged in all the time on a counter somewhere. * Presentation-wise, the warming tray looks nice. Not too cheap-looking. No problems with leaving it on the dining table when your guests come. * When it says "3-plate", it means 3 individual-sized plates. With larger serving plates, you might manage only 2 plates. Knowing this, if I were to buy this tray again, I would probably get the 4-plate version.

We've used this on two occasions so far and are very pleased. When plugged in, it warms to capacity in just a few minutes and keeps food hot for the advertised time. Instructions state not to put food directly on the tray (use a dish) and that's probably both for sanitary reasons as well as to avoid overheating whatever food you have on it. The tray does become quite hot and the surface should not be touched to avoid burns. It is very attractive piece when used for entertaining.

This is great if you need to keep food hot (not steaming hot). If there is no outlet within reach, you can plug it in for 10 minutes. Then place in on the serving table and put your hot casserole on top. It will keep it warm for about 60 minutes. I have placed this on a plastic tablecloth and have not had any problem of burning or melting the table cloth. I will remove after 60 min and warm up the tray for another 10 min and then bring it back to the serving table. It has worked great. To some, it may seem a lot of trouble, but when there is no socket near by and the serving table is out in the middle of the room, then this is the next best thing. It is slightly heavy, but easy to carry. The handles on both side stay cool. If there is no socket nearby, this way is the best that I can find. I understand if you have a socket near by, it will turn itself off and on. It does not have temperature control. It does not need it. When the temp get high, the light turn green and when it cools, it will automatic come on with a red light.

I am sorry to have to write such a negative review on a product that got such a high rating.The warming tray has passed the window of return so I have no recourse. I bought this tray a few months in advance of my kitchen reno so I didn't actually start using it until 3 weeks ago. The purpose was to place foods on it in the morning and have them hot by lunchtime. Unfortunately, this does not happen. The center of the hot tray is much hotter than the ends which is a good thing. The ends are so lukewarm that you can put your hand on it without any difficulty. So foods that are placed on either end using a covered, disposable tin foil pan, position 1 and 4 on a 4 plate hot tray, do not get warm at all after 3 hours. I placed chicken in a covered, disposable tin foil pan in the center of the hot tray for three hours and it was only lukewarm on the outside and cold on the inside. I don't know if this hot tray is just defective or if that is the maximum warming that it can do. In either case, I am so disappointed as I was relying on this heating method for the duration of my 3 month reno. I have had other hot trays which performed exactly as I expected and warmed the food sufficiently so that it was actually hot. This is not an inexpensive item so it is doubly disappointing. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this product.

This works great! You plug it in for 8 minutes to heat and it will stay hot for an hour after unplugging it. We used it over Easter on our buffet. The foods stayed hot for all the trips back to the buffet. It works best with platters , bowls, and plates that are flat on the bottom to get the most efficient heat. The large tray hold several dishes. The only complaint is where will I store this large appliance. I will have to figure this out. We are impressed that it stays hot for so long after unplugging it.

Just perfect. I ordered the larger unit first but found it to big for our table - despite the table having a good size - returned it. This smaller item now ordered is perfect for our setting. Love the fact that one can remove the power cord, retains heat very well and looks great. A good buy indeed.

The warming plate stays warm but not enough to keep the food warm

L'article fonctionne vraiment très bien, on le branche pendant 8 minutes et lorsqu'on le débranche, il reste vraiment très chaud durant plus d'une heure. Le seul hic, c'est que la commande que j'ai reçu, la boite avait visiblement été ouverte plusieurs fois et la qualité de la finition n'est pas à la hauteur. j'ai demandé un remplacement du plateau et le 2e que j'ai reçu était pire que le premier, j'ai donc gardé le premier et retourné le 2e. Je donne un 3 étoiles seulement pour la mauvaise qualité de l'emballage et sont visiblement des boites ouvertes qui ont fait plusieurs clients. Pour l'utilisation, c'est génial qu'il soit sans-fil. Parfait pour les buffets et pour garder des plats aux chauds pour de longues périodes.

I liked the old one I had better but of course it eventually gave out after many good years of service. This one is very good for its purpose. However, I like one that is a little wider for dinner plates. Mostly, I don't use it for entertaining but for daily meals where I don't need it transferred. However, for that purpose it is good. It is a good product. I may not live long enough to compare its life to my old one.

Purchased 2 of these for Xmas gifts - were very well received and are being used regularly
