I am trying to determine the temp the plate maintains while plugged in. Any help pls?

Not sure the exact temperature the warming tray keeps it temperature at. I know it is too hot to touch. It keeps the bowls and plates of food warm. It is not hot around the edge to no one will burn themselves. I love it so much and so does my daughter in law that she asked for it for Christmas gift. I ordered another one. She and my son have a lot of parties and wanted to have the warming tray to keep food warm during serving. We used mine last Christmas at my son's Christmas Eve party and we had hot dips, and other warm dishes on it. It was great.

Hello learner. I own 4 of the large 4 plates size, and they are excellent in my opinion. I've had them for several years to help with my Thanksgiving dinners of about 40 family members. They are 1000 watts. The mashed potatoes were steaming this year on it. I have placed trays of lasagna on them that have sizzled on top. You can control that of course by not keeping it plugged in. I would say they stay very hot unplugged between 30-45 minutes or so. They definitely work. They look nice and are so easy to clean. I always get positive comments about them at my dinners. I highly recommend! Hello learner. I own 4 of the large 4 plates size, and they are excellent in my opinion.

I cannot answer a specific temperature. But I can say anecdotally that hot food from the oven or stovetop will stay very hot & even possibly simmering (in a shallow pan) when placed directly onto the heated surface and covered w/ a lid and towels. And food out of the fridge will take quite a few hours (4-5) but will eventually become hot enough to burn your tongue (especially stews or items w/ more liquid).

I've had mine for over a year and leave it plugged in constantly. With the temperature of my work building, the tank temperature ranges from 77-81.

Very cool. Thanks. Im hoping its the temp sensor as I already replaced the element so far and thats the only thing left. Thanks again

it turns on around 35 deg but yes any temp below 35 deg f the unit should be in the power on position and work as a normal outlet

Warm is OK. Hot is not. Even 1-2 watts of power dissipation will warm a plug sufficiently that you can feel it, but is perfectly safe. Given that this heater draws 1,500 W, it's likely that this amount of power is being dissipated at the plug. The very small resistance where the plug touches the socket contacts is sufficient to cause this. And given that the purpose of this device is to generate heat, it's not like it's 'waste' heat either!

The unit plugs into a regular receptacle so I guess it 110? I never really thought about it. I simply plugged it in and starting using it. I have been very pleased with the slow cooker, I will be using it this week to cook for a very special lady, I want her to think I spent hours preparing this meal lolI hope I have answered your question.

This is plugged in to an electrical outlet and stays on as long as you have it turned on. I've kept it on for five hours at a banquet , starting with high to warm up the plate, then turning it down with no issues.

Each time the unit is powered off, when powered back on (which you need to do manually), it starts off at 75 degrees. You then need to adjust it to your preferred setting.

its a 110 volt. I believe the plate located on the bottom will reveal the specs.

The only thing I can think of is make sure there are no wires impeding the connection. Also make sure you have not racked the plate by tightening the screws too much.

Set your temperature it will keep it within a degree , depending on your box insulation mine was working like it should

I don't have an accurate enough thermometer to independently verify the temp. However the thermometer on the controller seems to indicate it's maintains the temp within 1 degree of what I set it for.

It's more of a plate warmer than a plate heater. It's warm / not hot. But it stays warm for a good 20-30 minutes. It's not as good as an electric warmer / heater but it's more "portable" and doesn't need to be plugged in. For what it's worth, I'm happy with mine and I use it regularly to help keep food warm (especially meat).

My unit has not over heated. If its really hot, I would think it is a defective unit.

I usually keep it plugged up on my desk. I have only used it for a short time unplugged. It didn't seem to get any hotter then what was expected.

I just used it in my grill. you have to watch the temp of the grill. The black insulator on the probe dissolved from the heat. The probe is supposed to be good for 750 deg. My grill thermometer read about 500 deg. It could have been hotter.
