Hot Plates/ Burners Induction Burners Buffet Servers Trivets
Hot Plates/ Burners
Hot plates are perfect for dorms, offices, traveling or entertaining. With either one or two burners, a hot plate is compact and versatile. Most hot plates are electric, because they are more portable and safer to use. However, there are some gas burners that are great for patios and camping. Burners can also be great for entertaining by keeping food warm until it is served or keeping fondue the right consistency for dipping.
Induction Burners
Induction cooking is a completely different way to cook food than the traditional electric and gas burners. Traditional burners cook food by heating the cooking vessel which then transfers that heat to the food. Induction burners instead make the heating vessel the originator of the cooking heat. The result is a safe cooktop that is cool to the touch and instantly adjustable for the best precision. One of the main downfalls of an induction burner is that it only works with vessels made of magnetic materials.
Buffet Servers
In order to keep food safe and tasty, buffet servers keep their contents on a low heat. Usually known as a chafing dish, buffet servers use either gas or electric burners to keep the dishes warm. Chafing dishes can range from sleek to ornate, but they add an elegant touch to serving a meal no matter what the design. Buffet servers also include coffee urns and warming trays that are perfect for entertaining.
Trivets
A trivet is a must have in every household to protect an expensive tabletop. Trivets come in a variety of designs from the simple to the elaborate. They can also range in material, from metal to wood to heat-resistant silicone. When not in use, a trivet can also double as an attractive decoration.
