Product Description

An ideal piece for entertaining, this attractive food warmer fits a small Mauviel saucepan atop its copper body, letting users heat a tasty chocolate fondue or a tangy soup directly at the table. The warmer holds a heating candle in its center cavity, which users can view through the handsome arched slots. The candle provides slow and steady heat that's made more efficient by the conductive copper construction, which absorbs the flame quickly and evenly. The warmer also includes two well-placed handles that make transport easy, even when hot. Whether you're melting a Gruyere cheese or keeping a stovetop soup warm, the burner performs admirably and looks great.

The warmer hails from Mauviel's Pour la Table line, a cookware family designed for both attractive serving and efficient cooking. Each piece is made of 2 mm copper--a material that's twice as conductive as aluminum--guaranteeing that the cookware warms quickly when exposed to heat and cools rapidly when removed. The copper construction is especially ideal for high-heat recipes such as sautés or stir-fries. Copper also offers a marked contrast to more traditional aluminum or stainless cookware, as its reddish-brown color appealingly brightens up a kitchen. Mauviel recommends hand washing the warmer, which carries a limited lifetime warranty.
