Product Details

Our Soft Grip Keep Warm Thermo Plate is ideal for people who may take longer to finish meals. The cavity of these Ornamin keep warm dishes can be filled with hot water to keep food warm for longer, or, conversely, with cold water or crushed ice to cool cold food. The double base allows soup and mashed potatoes to stay warm for those of us who need to take their time to eat.

The non-slip grip cushions ensure that the keep warm plate sits securely in the hand when being carried. There is also a non-slip ring under the plate that prevents the plate from sliding on the table.

As the plate does not need to be held, both hands are free for eating and it is also possible to eat with one hand if only one hand can be used due to an impairment.

The supporting functions are cleverly concealed in the design so as not to stigmatise anyone at the table - the plates look great. This prevents people from rejecting the plate from the outset or feeling uncomfortable using it.

The lower compartment can be filled with hot water or ice, and the heat/cold from this will keep the food above hotter/cooler for longer.

A melamine construction makes the Soft Grip Keep Warm Thermo Plate easy to clean and durable.

A matching bowl is also available from this site.

    Could use a bigger size too

    Review by M. Williamson Posted on 08/05/2026 08:18:49
    Good plate and easy to use, but a bit on the small side for a full meal. i'd appreciate the option of a bigger size.
