OVENTE Electric Warming Tray, Adjustable from 90°F to 284°F, Silver FW170S | Compact Food Warmer & Server for Buffets, Perfect for Parties, Events, and Dinners, with Cool-Touch Handles, Stainless Steel

I bought this "Used - Like New" from Amazon Warehouse, and it was indeed like new, although the box it came in - not a cardboard shipping box but a thin flimsy cardboard retail packaging box like you'd see it on a store shelf - was so badly damaged with tears and missing pieces I thought there'd be no way it would be useable and not damaged. But it was OK inside. I tested it out with two medium plates, that's all that will fit comfortably, first turning the temperature control all the way up. I measured with an infrared laser thermometer which has always been quite accurate. It started heating up right away and within a minute or two the metal surface was too hot to touch comfortably, so it heats up fast. The plate on the right was just under boiling after 10 minutes, around 205-210 degrees F. The plate on the left was right around 180 degrees F, so the heating while not perfectly even seems OK to me. Note that at these temperatures the plates can be too hot to handle easily so you may need potholders if you are going to remove them! Then I turned the temperature control to halfway, let it stabilize for 10 minutes, and measured the right plate at 140 F and the left plate at 130 F. I did note that as the heating element cycled on and off (the light goes on when heating), the plates would get maybe 20 F cooler for a short while, the temperatures can vary a bit. The plates and the metal surface are hot to touch at these temperatures but won't burn you. Then I tried heating it back up, this time to 3/4 of the way. After 10 minutes I measured the right plate at 170 F, the left plate at 160 F. Both plates could be handled OK but the metal surface was too hot to touch comfortably. Then I turned it to minimum and unplugged it. In 5 minutes it had cooled off. I don't think I'd ever use the minimum setting - probably you need halfway or more to get decent heating based on my temperature measurements. I would buy this again. Mine has a good temperature range, it works well, it does what it's supposed to without any unnecessary frills or controls, the build quality seems good, the appearance is good. I like it!

It works just fine to keep my meals warm. It is feather light yet sturdy. The temp control is also nice Would buy it again

Gets really hot, you'll be turning it down. Edge to edge glass top easy to clean.

Keeps food warm - not hot. From stove top stew pot hot to this warming tray was kept warm. I wouldn't buy it again vs a crockpot this won't compare. Very hard to keep surface nice & clean

Love it

Excellent product, sleek, and just the right size. It heats up quickly, and provides even heat. Fast shipping. Thanks for great service.

I really like this warming tray. I actually bought 3 of them. I used them to keep casserole dishes warm to serve my family buffet style during the holiday. The warming trays worked well in this capacity. I have them stored for the next holiday. I do recommend this product.

Firstly, this item gets ridiculously hot to be called a warmer. Way too hot and ends up cooking the food. These were delivered today and I used them for mashed potatoes and the casserole dish got so hot it burned the bottom of the potatoes. So I wouldn’t call this a warmer I would call it a cooktop. Second, the dial has two sides: min on the left and max on the right. The tray doesn’t even turn on until you’ve turned the dial to the max side- why even have a min temp setting if the device doesn’t work until the max? Only pros is that it holds heat for a long time, you could get it up to temperature and then turn it off, and they are easy to store/clean. Would buy again if the price came down since it takes a lot more maneuvering.

Works well. Food is warm

I didn't realise until I unpacked it that it had an American plug and works on 120v. Is that safe?

I was extremely disappointed in this warming tray. I only used it about six times before it stopped working. Unless you live in the USA don't bother buying it. It was bloody expensive to return. Not happy Jan (you would have to live in Australia to appreciate that comment).

Does not work! Dont buy

Cumple lo que promete
