TechYidCo. Shabbos Safe Warming Tray

TechYid Co Shabbos Safe Hotplate Using it t for four months and I love it. Very sturdy. No more hassling with crockpots which are too hot or too cold to do the job of warming. I cover the food to keep it moist. If I'm reheating and concerned about anything drying out I can put down some aluminum foil first. This shabbas warmer is super versatile and easy to clean and the electric cord is obviuosly heavy duty and has an auto emergency shutoff in case something gets too hot..so no fears of starting fires. Thank you for this it's wonderful to have perfectly heated food on Shabbas! If I had a large family I would definitely buy two. One is perfect for four people.

This is just what it promises: a good blech / plata / food warmer for Shabbat / the Jewish Sabbath. It does get pretty warm, but we use a second piece of metal on top and it's never been too warm. Just bought Techyid blech #2 because #1 failed after 3.5 years of more than weekly use. Ours is on a timer and works great. Recommended for a safe way to heat food without traditional heating appliances.

After having purchased my first TechYid Warming Tray from the original funding campaign many years ago, I'm finally replacing it with the same thing. Safety is paramount for me; I have known of too many homes destroyed by poorly wired hotplates that were not intended for 25 hours of use at a time. The TechYid product was developed by an engineer who also knew of too many such fires and sought to create a safe machine. Mine performed reliably over all these years. Although some reviews indicate that the heat is inadequate, I found that it slow-cooked reliably at a good temperature until the last couple of uses when it was finally dying. The surface cleans as well as any other stainless surface, once food is burnt onto it--a bit of oven cleaner and scrubbing does the job. The fact that I'm buying a second TechYid blech, after researching others on the market says it all.

This gets a four because we have found it to be so hot that it boils water which may be too hot for certain orthodox practices. It could cook food.Aside from that, it is a good product and it has made Shabbat a lot easier since our stove top blech is unusable now.I would recommend it, but only to those with a less stringent Shakrut practice.

Works great, but I didn't realize it was a bit smaller than my previous hot plate. That's entirely my fault, though, as I didn't measure. Everything about it works nicely, and I like how the light to show it's on is in front. It even works with my timer, too.

The first unit shipped did not work out of the box. Called the seller (telephone number obtained from Amazon customer service) to explain problem. A working replacement unit was sent and arrived two days after call.

I bought this hot plate to keep foods hot/warm food. It works for both purposes. The hot plate does get very hot. It sits on legs so the counter doesn't get hot. It is worth noting that this can't be on where little children will reach up and touch it. It isn't heavy, big enough to hold several dishes at one time. I am happy with it nd would buy it again.

Love this just plug in and leave it. Get hot and stays hot. Definitely works well. My friends purchased this after seeing mine.
