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.

The cordless warming tray lived up to my expectations. I am enjoying not having to cover the prepared plates to keep them warm. The tray is attractive on the table, not too wide and cumbersome. The sides are contoured for easy moving around; however, it is a little tight for three dinner plates.

This hot tray has the advantage over the old Saltons of having nice contemporary styling and not needing to be plugged in after it has heated, which means you can put it on a table or buffet with no nearby outlet. The large size has pluses and minuses: you can fit several dishes on it, but it's hard to find a place to store it as it won't fit in standard cabinets. It's also high off the table--a bit bulky in that regard. The surface is gleaming stainless steel, not glass like the old ones, but this apparently scratches, so be very careful placing dishes on it. Also a bit pricey--you can find used Saltons online for a fraction of the price.

Honest reviews on Cordless Warming Tray

I bought this to use on Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath when cooking is not permitted. I am using the tray as an electric blech (I also have it on a timer to conserve electricity), and it works GREAT! I took hot food out of the oven Friday before candles, placed it on the warming tray, and covered it with kitchen towels. The food was still piping hot when we ate 2+ hours later. Even better, the tray warmed refrigerator cold food to pleasantly warm-enough-to-eat on Saturday. I placed the dishes on the tray at about 8am, and the food was warm for lunch by about 12 or 1. My approach to halacha may be different from the norms in your community, so please take this just as "been there done that" advice, and consult your rabbi re: halacha. I can't comment on the product's durability, etc, since I've only had it a few weeks, but I am thrilled with how it works so far. It fits 3 9x11 pans easily.

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!
