Serving food properly on Heat Retentive Plates


Serving food properly is serving it on a plate that keeps food warm
For the first time in centuries this is possible on a...

Serving food properly is serving it on plates that keep food warm
I am thinking how to convey this information; I'll try a very simple approach: Serving food on normal ceramic plates is not serving food properly (Although it has been the only way available for centuries); ordinary plates steal the heat from food by conduction since food is hot and the plates are fresh. Nobody needs a thermodynamics lesson to understand this; also the food radiates heat and the moisture in the food suffers a change of phase from water to steam losing heat in the process; in sum there are heat losses by:
  1. Conduction
  2. Radiation
  3. Change of phase
 In conclusion: If you want to enjoy hot food you need a means to keep adding heat to the food slowly to compensate for all the heat losses.  See the temperature chart below; a HotSmart Plate reaches maximum temperature several minutes after being taken out of the microwave oven (Delayed action to avoid overcooking or overheating the food), then releases heat slowly using the Stefan-Boltzmann law to compensate for all the heat losses.




This is an entirely new technology in ceramic plates

Remember: There is only one way to serve food properly and that is : To serve it on a Heat Retentive Plate
(I know you did not even know they existed, I invented them in El Paso, TX)

The plates can be handled safely with the bare hands by the rim
(The rim stays cool)
