I use this warmer to melt my caramel at events to produce caramel apples. Best thing ever! Very easy to use, gets caramel ready with 2 hours.

I love my electric rice cooker as it is easy to cook rice and is very easy to clean. The rice tastes really good and is always fresh. I recommend this rice cooker.

This is a smaller version of the warmer that stores chowders for our deli line. Works well and cleans up easily. Great price for the product. Would highly recommend.

Overall a tough and resilient product. We have used these every weekend for over a year and they all continue to work. Only complaint is the feet on them will fall off making the pots sit uneven. Make sure to tighten the feet very tightly to make sure they stay on.

I have been using this for two years, and have had no problems. It takes up very little space yet holds a good amount of food. I use it for hot holding of slow roasted pork and it does a great job. One problem is the lid latch broke, so I just use a pot lid.

This product would probably work great for soups/sauces, but for the warming of caramel that comes in a can, it takes forever to get caramel ready to dip apples. I bought this item only because the video showed the ease of heating the caramel up, It simply did not work that well for me and the use I needed it for.

This has held up extremely well. We use it every day, and it does a great job holding temperature. It cleans up easily, and is a smaller footprint, which is always good in any kitchen!

Great product with the exception of the hinged lid. It does not come with any instructions on how to fit the hinged lid in place and we struggled for over an hour trying to get it to work. Finally gave up and just use the lid as an separate item. Great product otherwise.

These kettles are really great for people that are amperage conscience. In a food truck environment, we really need to keep an eye on how much electricity we draw. At only 300 watts, this unit allows for good heat transfer in a decent amount of time; combined with a consistent product after you've hit the right temp and texture. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a good cheese warmer without tripping the breakers!

Cody Wells from W Squared BBQ

Not only do these warmers look good, but they work well and have a small footprint so you can put them wherever you need them even if space is limited.

I have to say alot about this product, I own 5 of them and they have paid me back tons of times over, I use them, for my hot dogs, chili, Nacho Cheese, melted chocolate, I've used them for two years now and they are still going, the only problem I've ever had is the thermostat sensor may come loose from the inside bottom, but it's easy to fix

Love this thing! We use it to keep our gelato scoops clean & on the warmer side (easier to scoop that way) and it does the trick. We did have to put another circular metal container on the inside though because the scoops we bought on here (the "non-stick ice cream scoopers") were small enough that they fit in the container horizontally and disappeared under the water! Just be aware of this - you might want to do what we did or just get taller scoops. Love it regardless!

I would give this a five star, however, I have had problem with it taking a long time to heat. These aren’t super quick at getting going. The only other issue is that it is a little difficult to get the lid on and off when taking apart or putting back together before or after cleaning.

This warmer is so good, when I received the warmer without seeing the instruction, then we didn't put water inside, and it would not go the warm function, unless you put water, the warmer work very well.

Ok product, really didn’t work that well for what we purchased it for. Watched the video about using for caramel apples, not as easy as the video makes it appear. The caramel took hours to get soft enough to dip apples.

Casandra Meck from Simply Southern Bakery
Posted on 4/2/2018 12:00:00 AM

This warmer definitely does the job. We have had no problems in keeping temperature and it is easy to adjust. The only issue we've had is that the lid is a little difficult to figure out. It is a little frustrating but works OK once you get the hang of it. The lid does have a space for the spoon and everything comes apart for cleaning. I would give it 5 stars if the lid were easier to put together and use.

Cindy Butler from Station's Inn

We use this to dip frozen treats in and it's perfect for what we need. Being on a food truck with limited power the 300 watts it only takes to heat is great.

We used this to warm melted cheese and it did great, had to figure out settings for warming but once you play around with it you can find the right temp. Always check the water level is important to operation.

This little countertop warmer is great. I use it to hold soup in for service, and it does exactly that. Easy to use, only a couple pieces that all come out easy to clean, and the temperature knob has a wide range which I find to be best for my soups right in the middle.

Jill Tanis Rulon from
Posted on 2/16/2020 12:00:00 AM

Worth the money, but has problems. We bought one of these, and then another to hold soup, and they performed perfectly for a little over a year. So for the price I have to say they are well worth it. However, after a little over a year, the heating element on one of them went bad, and shortly thereafter the other one started leaking - a little drip from the water bath, which seems to be the result of rivets around the interior of the well, fairly low down, pulling through. Again, though, for the price I can't really complain too much. I should also mention that the lid that comes with this set is held on by a small tab that slips in under the rim of the soup insert. If you put it all together before adding soup, and push everything down into the water bath, the insert floats up and the lit falls out. On the other hand, it is difficult to get the tab holding the lid on in after you have filled the soup insert. If you pull out the soup insert, the lid falls off. However, after working with it for a bit you get the hand of it - slip the tab in to hold the lid on, but don't push it down and then let the soup push the whole assembly sink down together. When emptying it, lift the entire assembly out - rim, lid, and soup insert, and then set it down and lower the rim to the bottom, leaving the lid on top of the insert. That way it doesn't all on the floor! Again this is a small quibble about a cost-saving design feature, but depending on your staff it may be something to keep in mind.

Was using another product to warm hot fudge but it wasn't able to be adjusted. Got this and am so happy with it that we're about to order another. It is adjustable so it makes it easy to keep sensitive food like hot fudge and caramel warm even as the level drops through the day of using the product, all we do is adjust the temp and clean and refill after the rush! Easy to assemble and the lid is great, only thing to watch is open the lid all the way to dry off condensation - then you can rest it on the hinge for serving and it is easy to close one handed.

Christine Sabin from Scoops LLC

It looks nice and worth the money since most warmers are much more expensive. It was difficult to figure out how the clip that holds the lid open works since there were no directions.

Jasper Ieronimo from Scrambled Diner
Posted on 10/22/2019 12:00:00 AM

This warmer has been perfect for holding our Hollandaise for service, since it is able to hold at lower temperatures and doesn't turn it into scrambled eggs over time by over cooking it. Fantastic price, considering that for us, it replaces a now discontinued Hatco sixth pan warmer and a 3rd party PID temperature controller to maintain the temp we want. Easy to keep clean, and still looks great.

Toast, Inc. from
Posted on 10/15/2023 12:00:00 AM

I bought this warmer because it was recommended for heating and keeping caramel warm for dipping apples. It certainly doesn’t melt caramel in 1-2 hours. The first time I used it, I waited 4 1/2 hours. The caramel was still too thick, but I went ahead and dipped some apples. I tried it again and gave up after two hours. I took the caramel out and heated it in the microwave. I would not recommend this product for caramel, but it would probably be good for soups or cheese sauce.
