Keep your appetizers warmer for longer
Slide the Thermal Hot/Cold Serving Tray into the oven for as little as 5 minutes and it will provide a warm serving platter for several hours. Hopefully, your hot snacks be long gone and eaten by then. If not, your dog will still appreciate the warm treat.
The Thermal Hot/Cold Serving Tray will slow down the cooling of your hot appetizers.
Chilled hors d'oeuvres stay cool and fresh
Store the Thermal Hot/Cold Serving Tray in the fridge for an hour or two and it'll keep your killer hors d'oeuvres or mini-desserts delectably cool. If you've spent half the afternoon cooking up tasty mini-treats, there's no faster way to ruin your party than to serve them tepid.
Keep your cool treats chilled, fresh, and tasty with the Thermal Hot/Cold Serving Tray.
We ran some tests (and wrote down the results)!
Test #1: The Heat Test
First, we popped some toasted ravioli (t-ravs, for short) and pizza bagels in the oven and put them onto two different trays. What we found is that the Thermal Tray stays warm to the touch for hours, maintaining a temperature 10 degrees warmer than a standard tray.
| Thermal Tray | Standard Tray | Temperature Difference | |
| Time Elapsed | |||
| Start | 155 F | 155 F | 0 F |
| 10 minutes | 119 F | 108 F | 11 F |
| 20 minutes | 99 F | 89 F | 10 F |
| 40 minutes | 93 F | 85 F | 8 F |
| 60 minutes | 87 F | 78 F | 9 F |
Test #2: The Cool Test
Our next test involved cream puffs and mini eclairs. That was a tasty test.
We compared the Thermal Hot/Cold Serving Tray against a standard metal serving tray to see if the gel insert inside the Thermal Hot/Cold Serving provided additional cooling power. It did!
| Thermal Tray | Standard Tray | Temperature Difference | |
| Time Elapsed | |||
| Start | 44 F | 44 F | 0 F |
| 10 minutes | 45 F | 56 F | 11 F |
| 20 minutes | 53 F | 60 F | 7 F |
| 40 minutes | 59 F | 65 F | 6 F |
| 60 minutes | 62 F | 67 F | 5 F |
Bottom line: The Hot/Cold Serving Tray definitely works. Is it as effective as a warming lamp or a fridge? Of course not. The whole point of the product is to slow down the speed at which your appetizers or desserts return to room temperature. In that regard, the Hot/Cold Serving Tray is a winner. And it looks good, too.
