"I want my steak medium rare on a HotSmart"

A HotSmart is a patented Heat Storage Device shaped more or less like a plate but capable of storing enough heat in just one minute to remain hot for more than 30 minutes. It keeps your food hot.

Heat storing device? who would buy it? Who would find it?

It does look like a plate, and would you buy a Heat Storing Device? The combination of the upper component, the base and the microwave absorbing core are the heat storage device not only the core, besides, I guess what you want is your food to stay hot, right?

Some day when somebody says:

"I want my steak medium rare on a HotSmart"

The waiter will know (HotSmarts are great for steak by the way)

El Paso, TX USA
The only functional change to the ceramic plate in history
Designed as Gourmet Plates

Classic elegance and hi-tec functionality
The only plates in the world that keep food hot (Patented)
HotSmart Hot Plates

Eat slowly and avoid overeating, obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and lots of bad stuff

Hot They need only one minute preheating in the microwave oven; reach maximum temperature 5-8 minutes after taking them out of the oven; About 200F (The delay action prevents overheating or overcooking the food)

Smart Can be handled safely by the rim with the bare hands; the rim does not get hot; HotSmarts release the heat slowly to the food when needed, not before (See delay action above ), they release the heat slowly, at a controlled rate using the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

That is the reason for the HotSmart brand name. You should really take a look at the specifications

Serving Food Properly

2010-08-02T18:00:00.007-07:00

A New Way of Serving Food Properly
(A new technology is changing the rules)

There is something you need to learn about serving food; while cooking, recipes, techniques and kitchen tools have been evolving a lot, the art of serving food has been concentrating on etiquette and aesthetics which is great but our food keeps getting cold before we finish it. No matter how many hours you spend shopping and cooking food gets cold in 5 minutes even if you preheat the plate. It was a paradigm: "A plate is just a plate"; not anymore

For me the only way of serving food properly is to serve it on Heat Retentive Plates which keep food warm on the plate until you finish enjoying it; I am sure you probably don't know about Heat Retentive Plates, they are a new technology in ceramic plates that you can preheat for just one minute in the microwave and they get very hot, they are still hot after 1/2 hour and these HotSmart Plates are patented and sold only in Amazon.com as:

InstaHot 30 min plus HotSmart Plates.

How do I know all this? I am the inventor; I invented, patented and founded HotSmart in El Paso Texas. All the details are on my SQUIDOO.

Prevent type 2 diabetes

Is my Gourmet Plate a Diabetes Plate? Or simply a plate that prevents overeating? BOTH

2010-07-22T14:24:00.008-07:00

This Gourmet Plate is designed to enjoy food, it prevents overeating and obesity
(No, in all honesty, it was not designed as a diabetes plate)
www.EatSlowlySite.com

OK, if this gourmet plate is not a diabetes plate what then? Let me try to phrase this carefully: This is the best plate diabetics -and pre-diabetics- can use to train themselves to eat slowly, avoid overeating and obesity (Everybody knows obesity is linked to diabetes).

I'm sorry but those plates with portions painted on them are ugly and get your food cold which in turn make you eat fast and overeat since you are still hungry (The hypothalamus in our brain needs about 20 minutes to get the satiety signal, if you eat fast you will overeat simply because you are still hungry even if your stomach is bloated).

Print those portions on a piece of paper, not on the plate; HotSmarts can be used in formal dinners, they are bone china plates

There are 57 million pre-diabetic people in the USA; diagnosed diabetics 17.9 million people, undiagnosed 5.7 million, total = 23.6 million. Click to see statistics

fortunately type 2 diabetes is preventable

Overeating and obesity are linked to type 2 diabetes.

Microwave Plate Warmers For Hot Plates

2010-06-22T11:24:00.006-07:00

I am @HotSmart

(The inventor of HotSmart Hot Plates)

I have good news for you: Your own microwave oven is a good microwave plate warmer; unfortunately your regular plates will not stay warm so I have something much much better for you, Heat Retentive Plates (I also call them Gourmet_Plates) that remain HOT for more than 30 minutes (30+ minutes) to keep your food warm, it needs only one single minute preheating in the microwave and what is probably the best feature is that you can handle them safely by the rim with your bare hands (The rim does not get hot).

Another excellent feature is that it has a delay action to avoid overheating or overcooking the food and the heat is released slowly. You really need to see the specifications; this is really a quantum leap for the ceramic plate which had not evolved in many centuries.

From El Paso Texas to the world

You already have the plate warmer; all you need is the plate that stores the heat

Heat Storage Dish

By the way, did you know that eating slowly prevents overeating an obesity? Now your food will not get cold. Please don't miss the specs and don't forget to tweet for your friends

Very hot at the center (White zone); all the red zone is hot and the rim is cool (Green zone)
This is really a Gourmet Plate; not just by name as all the others

Will you please RT for your friends? (This is good news, no more bland cold food)

HotSmart Plates have a delay action

2010-06-08T15:35:00.010-07:00

This is an old post with important information from the time when I started developing HotSmart Plates
2006-08-06 19:36:01
When I had a prototype that complied with my set goal (preheat one minute to stay hot for 30 minutes), we were happy to test it, but ... it was "too good", that is a way of saying that the food was hotter than expected, so what to do? The purpose of the plate is to keep food hot at the table to enjoy it, particularly on those special occasions, but not so hot that you burn your mouth or that you have to wait for your food to cool down, so I had to include in the design a delay action, that is: The plate reaches maximum temperature typically 5 to 8 minutes AFTER is taken out of the microwave oven. this can be specified in the design as desired (within certain limits of course), so the heat "kicks in" when needed not immediately when the food is served. That, and the fact that the rim remains cool for easy handling was -among many other things- one of the reasons for which I chose the brand "HotSmart" I believe the plate is "Smart" for a plate that had not learned a new trick in about 12,000 years. Of course, you have always the option of preheating for less than one minute if you do not want your food too hot. Please see the specifications and decide for yourself if the plates are hot and smart.

Can you see the delayed action and how heat is released slowly?

Gourmet Plates

Formula for heat conduction

Everything conspires for your food to get cold on the plate
Heat is conducted from your hot food to your cold plates and your food also radiates heat into the air, -but that's a different formula- and to explain how heat retentive plates store enough heat in one single minute to remain still hot after 30 minutes to keep your food warm? But yet you can handle them with your bare hands is a long story...Trust me; they work as described on the specifications (Link below).

I know this is an odd way to explain a Gourmet Plate, but HotSmart Plates are different to all other plates in the world in functionality; they keep food warm for full enjoyment, see the specifications

Gourmet Plates

Drawing of a HotSmart Gourmet Plate www.HotsmartUSA.com
The only functional change to the ceramic plate in Centuries comes from El Paso, Texas

There are many plates on the market named by their manufacturer "gourmet plates"; what they all have in common is: they start getting your food cold as soon as you serve it on the plate and the reason is that when two objects are in contact, heat always flows from the object at a higher temperature to the object at lower temperature. See the formula for heat conduction but don't worry, All I want you to notice is the "A" or Area and the (Thot-Tcold) or difference in temperatures. The larger the area and the larger the difference in temperatures the faster the heat flow from the food to the plate Q/t will be (And the faster your food will get cold). All plates have large contact areas with the food, and the hotter you serve the food the larger the temperature difference will be (Thot-Tcold).

Plates have a large "A" (Area)

HotSmart Heat Retentive Plates are real Gourmet plates that have a very efficient heating element which instead of getting your food cold releases infrared radiation at a controlled rate to keep it warm, but I will not repeat here; see the specs (Click the specifications link above).

Anyway, I wanted to claim the name Gourmet plates for HotSmarts; the others are... just plates even if they are Limoges. Let me put it this way: Every Chef should get a HotSmart for his personal use; cooking is an art, and your cooking should not get cold before you finish enjoying it.

HotSmarts allow you to eat slowly to avoid overeating, obesity and even:

Why you should eat slower

2010-04-01T11:47:00.014-07:00

Why you should eat slower?
First of all: You can lose weight by eating slowly

There are so many reasons to eat slower that all you have to do is to Google "eating slowly" and you will find out many many benefits, among them: it prevents overeating and obesity; this is not a theory and has a very simple explanation: It takes our brain about 20 minutes to "sense" that we have satisfied our hunger; please see: www.eatslowlysite.com

however eating slowly is not a simple decision or a New Years resolution but a habit that needs to be acquired; there are even gourmet plates especially designed to store heat "Plates for Eating slowly" capable of remaining hot for more than 30 minutes to keep food warm; this makes eating slowly a pleasant experience that is stored in our brain and after a few repetitions we acquire the habit. It is so obvious that if our food gets cold because we eat slower we will not want to do it again.

Plates for Eating Slowly

2010-02-06T14:43:00.003-07:00

Plates for eating slowly, What am I talking about? Why do you need a plate for eating slowly? I invented the "Heat Retentive Plates" being sold all over the USA (Including Alaska and Hawaii) by Amazon.com

We are teaching the Chinese how to make better plates

The purpose? Creating a gourmet plate that changes the history of the ceramic plate which had not evolved in many centuries.; see for yourself: Specifications

The plate really keeps food hot but I will not explain again, You can simply Google "Heat Retentive Plates" or HotSmart and you will find lots of information; you can also follow me on twitter to see real time how a start up company reaches the "American Dream" (Or fails?... I don't think so, people love the plates and are asking for coffee mugs which are coming through Amazon.com too).

http://twitter.com/HotSmart

OK, why do I also call it a "plate for eating slowly" then?

Plate for eating slowly

Because even though it was developed simply to enjoy hot food, people have found many applications for a plate that really keeps food warm for full enjoyment and enhancement of any hot recipe.

Reasons for eating slowly:

Enjoying hot food; original purpose, the bone china plate is adequate for formal dinners
Improve recipes; after all your work, you might as well enjoy slowly and show off
Avoid overeating and losing weight; see www.EatSlowlySite.com
Care giving (Check #CareGiving on twitter)
Elderly people eat slowly, food gets cold, they stop eating and lose weight dangerously
Alzheimer's patients eat slowly
Parkinson's patients
ALS patients
WLS (Weight Loss surgery or Bariatric) need to eat slowly
Any other patient with mobility problems can eat with dignity on a real plate; this was also unforeseen by the inventor (myself) but turned out to be a major feature (Some people refuse to eat on plastic hot water filled dishes that look like baby dishes).
ETC.

Hot Plates by HotSmart

2010-01-31T20:27:00.004-07:00

Warming plates by HotSmart are simply "Heat Retentive Plates" and are being sold in Amazon.com with the name InstaHot 30 minute PLUS Hot Plates which describes them better but since a dear customer from Harrisburg PA told me she had found it searching for Warming plates I considered important to clarify this; I do not want HotSmart platesto be confused with those plastic dishes that you fill with hot water very similar to baby dishes. Calling them warming plates does not make them justice; They are Gourmet Plates, I simply call them HotSmarts See:

http://twitter.com/HotSmart

This is a ceramic plate (Bone china) that requires only one minute preheating in a full size (1200W) microwave oven. and 5 to 8 minutes after you take it out of the oven it will reach maximum temperature and your hand will not be able to withstand the heat on the surface, however you can handle it safely with the bare hands by the rim.See:

How to use

My customer told me that the plate allowed his father to eat with comfort and dignity on a plate that looks like a plate; her father has Parkinson's dicease. I have realized that the appearance of the plate is as important as its functionality; another lady from the UK needs one because her grand mother refuses to eat on those plastic plates (By the way, I am trying to develop a trustworthy connection in Europe; it could be so easily sold through Amazon in the UK, Germany or France (Peut etre je pourrais aller a Paris).

My invention

Anyway, this is a nice dinner plate adequate for formal dinners; my point is do not confuse it with plastic dishes that you have to fill with hot water; HotSmart plates are excellent steak plates and just for that reason I would buy one. They are sold as singles because people do not believe that something you microwave for only one minute is still hot after 30 minutes, they can buy one, test it see that it really works as advertized and then buy more as required.

No water inside, just a solid microwave absorbing disk I developed

My greatest satisfaction is that now it is also used for elder caregiving, and by Alzheimer's Parkinsons and ALS patients as well as by WLS patients that also need to eat slowly and last but not least, to eat slowly to avoid overeating etc. Please do not confuse HotSmarts with plastic warming plates; HotSmarts are the only functional change to the ceramic plate in centuries.

It turns out the Gourmet Plates are not just a luxury but a necessity:

People likes hot food so they like HotSmart gourmet plates which were designed to enjoy hot food but have also been discovered by caregivers and other people who like to or have to eat slowly for a number of reasons, including: WLS (Weight loss surgery) patients, ALS patients, Alzheimer's patients, Stroke survivors like myself (Although I like to eat slowly to avoid overeating), etc.

HotSmart Plates - Plates That Stay Hot

2009-12-25T13:49:00.010-07:00

Plates That Stay Hot

HotSmart Plates will be as common as toasters in Kitchens all over the world; they are currently selling through Amazon.com from Alaska to Florida (Very good customers) and from Maine (Recently) to California. HotSmart is the brand behind the Heat Retentive Plates, the only plates in the world designed to store heat very fast and release it slowly to really keep food warm.
HotSmarts need only one minute preheating time in a full size (1200 Watt) microwave oven and remain still hot after 30+ minutes to keep food warm.

A very important advantage of keeping food warm is that it allows eating slowly which prevents overeating. Their use is as simple as "zap and serve"(TM) and can even be handled safely by the rim with the bare hands since the rim does not get hot. There is lots of information about HotSmart on the web (Google it if you are interested); the plates are only the first in a line of products coming to the market (including HotSmart coffee mugs).

You can also follow HotSmart on twitter now.

We are presently looking for a business associate in Canada and another one in Europe and Japan (to expedite things). If not we will get there by ourselves the same way we hit the USA market through Amazon.com and its associates in the UK, France, Germany, etc..

Here you can see the specifications

Defining them simply as "plates that stay hot" doesn't make them justice; they are really smart

IMPORTANT NOTE:
HotSmart Plates have been discovered recently by WLS patients and by relatives of ALS and Alzheimer's patients (They help anyone who chooses to, wants to or has to eat slowly)

Keep Warm Dish - Microwaveable

KEEP WARM DISH
You can handle it safely with your bare hands while hot

If you search the internet for a "Keep warm dish" , you will very likely find a plastic plate that you need to fill with hot water used mostly for sick people to keep soup warm; you will not find a ceramic plate that you can use for serving breakfast -including eggs and pancakes- or that can be used to serve diner such as steak, prime rib, enchiladas, pizza, Chinese and Mexican food etc. for that you need to go to :

HotsmartUSA.com

HotSmart Plates can even be used in formal dinners; Some people used them -for the first time- this year in Thanks Giving and e-mailed us that they were very satisfied, all you have to do is microwave them for just one minute and you can even handle them safely with the bare hands by the rim. The plates stay still hot after 30+ minutes to keep food warm
If you are wondering how to keep your food warm on the plate for full enjoyment just click the link above.

We recently got orders from Alaska and Maine, so now we can say: "From Alaska to Florida and from California to Maine". Go to Amazon.com and look for HotSmart

Eating Hot Food on HotSmart Plates

2009-12-04T20:15:00.006-07:00

There are millions and millions of places that sell hot food; everybody likes hot food and sometimes food even gets to the consumer hot but once it is served it invariably gets cold very fast; even if the plates are preheated they get cold in about 5 minutes; check your plate and food next time you go to a restaurant and see for yourself, I do it always and I'm actually happy that my food gets cold because HotSmart has the solution to this problem and we have been testing it for over 4 years of actual use.

Many attempts have been done to keep hot food hot on the plate, I know, I have checked the Main patent offices of the world (USPTO, Europe, Japan, China, etc.) but you can Google "Keeping food hot at the table" or "Plates for keeping food hot" to find out for yourself

One thing is selling hot food and other is keeping food hot once it is served; HotSmart Plates are the answer; we manufacture "Heat Retentive Plates" that remain still hot after 30mins+, they need only one minute preheating time in the microwave oven and can be handled safely with the bare hands by the rim while very hot. If you like hot food you will love HotSmart plates.
Take a couple minutes to see our Website; orders have been coming from all over the USA but few people know about it. Please pass it on.

Dinner at Home

2009-12-02T20:43:00.003-07:00

Now you can enhance a simple dinner at home serving it on plates that stay hot for more than 30 minutes; you will notice a great difference; even in fine restaurants where they preheat the plates the plate -and the food- will get cold in 5 minutes.

HotSmart plates need only one minute preheating time in a MW oven and can be handled safely with the bare hands while very hot!

HotSmart plates reach maximum temperature 5 to 8 minutes after taking them out of the microwave oven (Maximum temperature when preheated normal plates are already cold get it?). dining at home has a new advantage since HotSmart plates can be used as steak plates

Slow down your eating

2009-11-30T17:24:00.006-07:00

The fork down technique works but you need to take at least 20 minutes. the article suggests a shorter time (5- 10 minutes is additional time required)
Most people agrees now that the brain needs about 20 minutes to get the "Not hungry anymore signal". also, use a "heat retentive plate" or your food will get cold when you eat slower. You need a hot plate (Hot dish; do not confuse them with electric "hot plates")
