The Heated Place Mat

So first up, apologies to our gigantic, worldwide, global readership for not having blogged. We've just been so busy at the moment.
Anywho, had a snazzy roast last night with nice wine etc, the whole works. However by the time everyone had sat down and it was all served, it getting close to cold. I'm sure it's been done, but someone out there should make a heated place mat. Not too hot, just hot enough to warm the food. Because no matter what you're eating, by the time you've almost finished, it's all gone cold.

why not a put the plate in the oven? or better still design a plate that stays hot?

In answer to your question:

1. Putting plates in the oven does not stop the food going cold. It merely slows the process.

2. Granted a plate that stays hot would be better. But it's kinda tough given it has to go through the washing machine and be moved around the ktichen/dining room.

The idea being with a mat, is that it can sit on the table. Perhaps connected on the underside to two strips which provide it with energy. They needn't be moved.

And i couldn't leave this comment without saying how our lovely friends over at Wieden and Kennedy (Mandy and Sarah) did a plate that stays hot on the inside and cold on the out. An idea that sounds ludicrous but somehow they've managed to do. Well done gals.
