The best warmers for 2020

Modern society does not stand still. Progress, including technical progress, leads to an unprecedented acceleration of the pace of life. But he also makes it easier. It is difficult to imagine that our mothers and grandmothers washed in activator type machines and squeezed the laundry through the rollers. Few people remember about such washing machines.

But especially technical development has affected the kitchen and the process of cooking. Today, a modern hostess has a whole arsenal of all kinds of units at her disposal, starting with the already familiar microwave oven and ending with modern hobs and ovens... And it seemed difficult to come up with something new. But no. Our kitchens confidently include a dish warmer. The equipment is new, elite and, as a result, not cheap. Therefore, the question of how to choose it is relevant. What is the best dish warmer in 2020.

But first you need to figure out what a dish warmer is and what it is intended for.

A new generation of kitchen appliances - a warmer

Despite the fact that in modern kitchens of compatriots, warmers are only gaining popularity, the idea and its implementation are not new. Simply, earlier the technique did not belong to the household. It was used mainly in the kitchens of restaurants and had, accordingly, large dimensions.

With its help, restaurant chefs warmed up the dishes to the specified parameters, heated some culinary dishes with an airy and delicate texture, and sometimes prepared real masterpieces in them.

Today, you can easily choose a model that will suit a modern hostess for almost all selection criteria. Namely, by: the size of the dish warmer, capacity, its functionality, protective functions and price.

The modern dish warmer is a stainless steel drawer. It can be built-in or free-standing. The first option will fit perfectly into the interior of any kitchen. The choice of dimensions in height and width will help you choose the heater in accordance with the dimensions of the oven.

The estimated capacity of the domestic dish warmer is 6 to 12 place settings. The set is a cup, plate and saucer. A certain temperature is maintained inside the cabinet. Typically, it can be set between 30 and 80 degrees. Modern models are equipped with convection equipment. In this case, the cookware is heated with a hot air stream.

How a dish warmer can help a modern housewife

We can discuss for a long time what kind of new-fangled gadget the manufacturers offer. But first, it's worth answering the question - what is a dish warmer for? It is no secret that many chefs have faced such unpleasant moments as:

• fresh, well-risen pie, settles after transferring it to a plate and loses its appetizing appearance and delicate taste;
• meat casserole becomes watery;
• a lush omelette in the same situation turns into a thin pancake;
• coffee or tea, poured into cups, have time to cool down a couple of minutes before serving.

And there are many such offensive situations in the kitchen. There is only one reason - cold dishes on which a hot dish was transferred. And this is the answer to the question of why a dish warmer is needed. Cups and plates warmed up to a certain temperature will not only prevent culinary delights from acquiring an unappetizing look, but will also reveal the taste and aroma of food or drinks, keep them hot for a long time before serving and make the table setting more elegant.

Especially interesting are the multifunctional warmers. Their work may include several functions.

• Direct heating of dishes.
• Reheating food. The method is safer and less laborious than using a gas stove. Safety is especially important when there are schoolchildren in the family who come home during the absence of their parents. In the evening or in the morning, no one in the family will have to wait for their favorite dish
• Maintaining the temperature of the cooked dishes until they are served will be very helpful when waiting for late family members with dinner.
• Defrosting food will quickly defrost dough, vegetables, fruits and even meat or minced meat, while maintaining the attractive appearance of the food, which cannot be said about the microwave oven, where food loses its texture.
• With the function of making dough, you can pamper your family with delicious pastries at least every day, without worrying about its quality.
• Dish warmers with the ability to cook at low temperatures will help you bake the most tender meat and prepare a delicious dessert.

There is an answer to the reasonable question of many why it is impossible to heat dishes in an ordinary oven. It is difficult to select the temperature in the oven. When overheated, dishes, especially those made of fine china, may crack. Yes, in general, it negatively affects the integrity of tableware.

Which dish warmer to choose

The choice of kitchen appliances of this kind, in most cases, depends on the number of family members, the frequency of receiving guests, the desired functionality and price. It is worth considering purchasing a spacious warmer for a family of three. A possible mistake when choosing will be the purchase of the simplest unit, if they like to cook in the house. Aesthetic aspects are also important.
