An electric cup warmer keeps hot drinks at the desired temperature without cooking them. It can also be used for soup and comes in different types, including a stainless steel cup with an automatic shut-off. It is not the same as a thermos, which relies on insulation.
An electric cup warmer is an appliance that looks a lot like a coaster that a drink would be placed on to prevent rings from forming on a table. An electric cup warmer, however, is generally thicker than a coaster and may have a slightly larger circumference than a standard coaster. An electric cup warmer is designed to provide a person with a place to set their hot beverage, such as tea, coffee or cocoa.
When placed on an electric cup warmer, the drink maintains the desired temperature regardless of the time taken to finish it. Therefore, the user never has to worry about the drink getting cold. At the same time, the electric cup warmer does not cook the drink or heat it beyond its original temperature.
While the electric cup warmer was originally designed with beverages in mind, it can also be used to keep bowls of soup warm. The circumference of an electric cup warmer is usually large enough to fit the bottom of a bowl. In some cases, however, you may need to eat your soup from a mug to reap the benefits of an electric mug warmer. A high quality electric cup warmer comes complete with an easy to clean surface. This way, any accidental spills can be easily wiped off the surface.
Another form of electric cup warmer is a stainless steel cup designed to be plugged in. This type of electric cup warmer has a receiver at the bottom of the cup that allows you to insert a plug to heat the cup. As the liquid inside heats up, the insulation around the cup prevents the outside from heating up and burning the user’s hands. Typically, this type of electric cup warmer has an automatic shut-off point when the liquid inside reaches a predetermined temperature.
An electric cup warmer is not the same as a thermos. A thermos does not use electricity to keep the liquids inside warm. Rather, it relies solely on the insulating properties of the materials used to make the thermos. Also, the liquid in a thermos will eventually become cold. Liquids heated with an electric cup warmer, on the other hand, will never get cold as long as electricity is present.
