Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rival 18-Ounce Electric Gravy Boat Warmer
Customer Review: Stylish, excellent design, and so versatile!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is much more than a slow cooker gravy boat! I experimented cooking a small amount of tiny shell macaroni and it worked! I only used an amount of water that would be absorbed as I was planning to add cheese and it was done in about 10 minutes.
The lid probably helped a lot, so I know it will keep gravy nice and warm, especially if added when hot from the cooking source. It should also easily warm syrup without first heating the syrup elsewhere and would melt butter in a few minutes maximum.
The bottom inside of the boat is an oval, roughly 4" x 2", therefore concentrating the heat over a small area at first, which also surely helped in my makeshift application. The area widens in a taper towards the top to approximately 7" x 4" and the contents will need stirring if you are heating food rather than liquids.
The base enclosure gets hot, but not too hot to touch briefly, and if you leave the boat in the base, the contents would certainly remain warm-to-hot, even when disconnected, but will need to be transported with a hotpad.
The cord is very short, maybe 2-1/2', but this is a minor inconvenience as you could add an extension cord if needed, and being able to remove the cord from the base is a real plus.
The base is lightweight but solid, and the boat with lid is very substantial--maybe a pound or two.
The handle is big enough to easily hold and balance the contents without spilling, and the spout has enough room for a spoon handle to exit when the lid is on.
I love it and would buy another if they come on sale again, even though I missed the sale this time. I think they'd look lovely for individual servings of soup, chili, or for gravy boats at two ends of a table, or a variety of syrups, sauces, mulled wine, etc.
This is a product I would recommend for students, seniors, singles, or anyone who needs to heat or keep warm a small amount of food (or a larger amount of syrup or gravy) and transport the tureen, with or without base, to tableside, bedside, etc.
I was contemplating a miniature crockpot but this is so much prettier and more practical with the removable cord, removable tureen with pour spout, and lid.
Thanks Rival and Amazon for a really well-made, attractive, and well-priced product!
