does the food burn like in ceramic tealight warmers

I have not had any problem with the food burning. Mine works perfectly, keeps the food warm but does not overheat.

Hi I haven't had that problem. The tea lights don't really get hot enough to burn and are an adequate distance away from the part that holds the food. I generally cook the food in advance and then keep it in the server to keep it warm throughout buffets. I suppose it is possible to burn very delicate items. But I've never had this issue.

I have used it for many parties and had no problem with food burning. I cooked the food in the pan so the pan was hot. Then, the tealight candles kept the food warm without burning it. Perfect for food with sauce. During the last party, I served beef in blankets. They dried up after a couple of hours but they were not burned.

I do not think the food would burn unless you let the food get close to empty in the pan. There is no water between the flame and the pan, which I think that may be the best way to keep food warm using tealights.

As long as the food in the dish has liquid (I made Swedish Meatballs with gravy), I don't think there'll be a problem. I had them on the buffet table for several hours with no problem. The tea lights didn't even burn all the way down. I love that piece and it looks really pretty. Just to be sure, you can check it periodically for the first few times and if you notice that the liquid has evaporated, add a bit more. I had no problem.

I don't think so, but if this is the warmer that I ordered, it quit working the first time I used it. The other one I ordered did not work upon arrival.

Not that I can tell. If it does it's not an appreciable amount of time. I've not used to bake anything delicate though. Definitely has not caused any burning. I've not found any difference between white and these.

I haven't had any problems with burning my hands on any containers, but to be safe, maybe they should lift containers out of it with napkins. It doesn't come with a glass food container - what you see in the picture here is exactly what you get. The black tray is what gets hot, and the plug kind of comes out the corner of the thermal case, so an container that you use in it will need to sit flat on the heating element (the black plastic tray). http://prntscr.com/47ad9j

Absolutely. When it is moldably warm it's clear, then gets milky. Though I would suggest LED and not a tea light, a nearby flame would melt it.

I think it wld be dangerous bcs liquid wax might ignite (?). When it's burning most candles give off a black soot u don't notice till later--when it's all over blinds, cabinets, etc.--main reason I prefer warmer.

The wax you put in starts as a solid, so you want to be careful about how much you put in (these can take 2 of the squares as long as they're standard size). While I'm sure the wax CAN burn, it's never happened to me and I use the bulbs that came with the night light. If you added stronger wattage, the wax might burn, but I'm not sure how much wattage it would take or if they make tiny light bulbs in that size.

In my experience no. I have used in two different crock pots and one has a tendency to run hot and even with that I have not had any melting. They are a little thicker than the Reynolds brand and I think that helps. When I have cooked on high setting it has usually been 5-6 hours and then turned to warm.

I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think there would be enough room between the bulb & the porcelain bowl to heat it safely without one or the other blowing up. Maybe a flameless tealight? I'm not sure how well that would heat the oil though.I put waxmelt in mine & it heats extremely fast with the tealight.

Yes, it is, I warm my sake in the microwave, I have not washed these in my dishwasher though but they have a thick wall of ceramic

yes! just soak the cord under the wick holder well and let it soak up through the wick holder...it takes awhile as the ceramic holder is very tight on the wick (and also makes it hard to pull more wick up as it burns down and trim.) Once it absorbs the liquid it burns great. Do remember not to burn citronella indoors.

The tea candle goes inside as indicated in the pic. Once the cast iron tea pot has the tea leaves and hot water inside, light the candle and place the pot ok top. After tea is done you can discard the leaves and it will remain warm as long as the candle is lid.

With a tea candle this warmer does not get hot enough that you cannot handle it and it's safe to set on a table, however I place it on a table with a tablecloth covering. Also, it adds an a eloquent touch with an accompanying ceramic teapot, I love it.

I have used my tea warmer with only one tealite; and like you, I have found the tea did not stay warm.

Yes. You just drop them in a Wax pot and put the wax Pot in the warmer.. Note the beads melt quickly..

They use a regular tea light candle......size approx 1/2 inch wide by 1/4 inch deep. If you put hot food in the dish the candle will keep it hot. You will need to mix food occasionally as the center becomes a hot spot as the heat is centered in the middle. They are great I have 2 and I have an 10 x 9 size also. Love them.

Yes. It takes longer to burn food because of the heavy construction of the cookware. Cleans up easy.
