Food Warmer Plate - Microwavable 9-Inch Marble Hot Plate Keeps Food Warm Longer - Great for Parties, Family Gatherings, and Holidays by Chef Buddy

This does just what I want. I have stone countertops that act like a cold-sink for anything on the counter, and I've ofter found that a cold plate just cools off everything sitting on it. I didn't want another electrical device that took 20 minutes to heat up -- I just wanted something other than a hot water bath to heat up a plate and cup in the morning. I'm not crazy about the gray granite that they used, but for the convenience of this and the cost of this, I'll take it. This goes into the microwave for a minute or two, comes out hot and you can put your breakfast plate on it and eat a meal that stays warm for a while.

Heat this warmer plate in your microwave for a few minutes, and you can keep things warm on your counter instead of your stove top for a long time. IIt's great for when you have company and are serving a buffet of some kind. I've put casseroles on it, even kept steaks warm. It's perfect. I'm thinking about buying a few more so I can use them for when I have friends over for the Super Bowl game. I have a small kitchen, and it stores away in a tight corner really well. Love this!!!

I received my first hot-plate as a Christmas gift and was quite happy with it (the left plate in the image). It looked just like the image online, and it worked very well, keeping things hot for 20 minutes or more (using a recommended flat-bottom plate). I decided I wanted another of these and ordered a second one using the exact same order number (right plate) and received an item that had a white stone with a different density. This stone does not get as hot, or keep its heat nearly as long. I heat both stones together (placing them face-to-face as directed) for 6 minutes in a 900w micro. The darker plate is VERY hot, the white plate is uncomfortably warm.If I only had an experience with the second plate, I would have been very disappointed - but I give the product 4 stars based solely on the performance of the first plate. I'd love to return the second plate and get the granite-colored item, but I'm now past the point of returning it. An email to the importing company ([email protected]) about exchanging the item was not returned. My suggestion is to order the plate, and if you get a white one, return it immediately for a replacement. Rinse and repeat until you get a dark-colored stone, you will be happy with it.

Five stars with slight reservatios.This is easy to use and does the job. Put in the microwave for about two minutes. Three if you’re really feeling it. Buy some Corel plates. He transmits up and keeps everything nice and warm. Love it.The reservations are simply that I wish this thing we’re better and had some way to hold the plate in place. When I’m when I’m sitting on the couch, the plate can easily slide around especially if there’s any angle, and it’s easy to have an angle because my thighs do not create a flat surface. I guess I’m gonna work on having a a down pillow With a large napkin or or placemat or something over it. I could probably add one or two very slightly damp or cotton napkins just underneath the plate to hold it in place. I’ll figure it out. But I do wish that they would re-design it to address this issue. I suppose an indent in the stone or a lip to the plastic, both of which could add some expense to the item, would be of help.However on a table, this thing Has absolutely no issues of course.So, this is a five star product that keeps my food warm and I love that. I do wish they would work on something for the couch potatoes LOL

I purchased this product to keep appetizer warm after they come out of the oven. I’ve only used it two or three times since I purchased it and each time my hot hors d’oeuvres went right onto the heated tile. I didn’t get back to the appetizers until about an hour later, and was disappointed to see they weren’t even warm. Unfortunately, I don’t know how long the plate keeps them warm if it does at all

My husband has a medical condition which causes him to eat soft food/soups VERY slowly so his food never stays hot during his whole meal, typically it’s luke warm at best before he’s finished. This plate is a game changer! Per directions and based on our microwave wattage, I heated the marble plate for 2 minutes, the surface was definitely too hot to touch and 30 minutes later, it was still too hot to comfortably place my palm on it ( I could touch it with my finger) and his soup stayed hot. I’ll be anxious to try it with hot cereals, Mac and cheese, scrambled eggs, etc. But, so far, I’d give it 10 stars if I could!

Great if you want a huge heavy rock to lug around! I returned it, they sent another one which I didn't order & I returned it!

Simple idea that works as intended. Hurray!
