How long does the dish stay hot?

The Thermal Serving Dish keeps food above 140°F for 2+ hours — well above the USDA food-safety threshold. The insulation also works for cold foods like salads, dips, and desserts.

What size dishes fit inside?

The Thermal Serving Dish has a 6-quart capacity. Load food directly into the dish, or use our drop-in baking dish or a standard foil half pan.

Is it dishwasher safe?

Yes — every piece (bowl, lid, and base) is dishwasher safe.

How does it work without electricity or sterno?

Fill the base with hot water from your tap or kettle, load your food, and press the lid on. Double-wall vacuum insulation — the same technology in high-end water bottles — traps heat inside.

Is the lid spill-resistant?

The lid presses on securely with a spill-resistant seal, so you can transport food in the car without worry.

What materials is it made from?

BPA-free, food-safe materials throughout. The outer shell and inner wall are stainless steel with vacuum insulation between them.

Can I use it for cold food too?

Yes — the insulation works both ways. Pre-chill the base with cold water and your salads, dips, and desserts stay cold for hours.
