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.

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

Bought these as a gift for my sister. We host many parties and these are awesome! We only used the medium heat setting and the food stayed hot through the entire event. Easy to clean and storage is a piece of cake. Just roll up and place on a shelf.

Worked like a charm. I used it to keep two trays of food warm/heated for the office staff meeting. I do suggest that if taking food from the fridge to warm up, let it come to room temp before setting on the warming mat. This kept the food the perfect temp. Really happy with my purchase.

Perfect to keep food warm. Used at pot luck at work. Highly recommend!

Food Warming Mat for Buffet, with 7 Temperature Levels& Auto Shut-Off, Food Warmers for Parties, Gatherings, Everyday Use. This is something I never knew I needed. Food gets cold, we warm it back up. We're cooking a big meal, we reheat before serving. Well, this changes all of that.I love the blue!!When we're putting a big meal together, prepared items can sit on the mat, keep temperature and wait for us. It's a great stress saver. The best part, as you serve the dishes you can clean up the kitchen and free up your oven and stove.I love that this rolls up for easy storage and it offers different temperature options depending on what your needs are.It's easy to use.The only challenge I have is where to plug it in. I don't have a plug beside my dining room table but it would be great for a buffet on the counter style meal.I'm thinking I could even put this in the living room for movie nights and appetizer nights.I think this would be great for larger families and for people who entertain. You could even take this with you to a work potluck or event.
