Abstract: A pair of similarly sized sheets of a pliant, heat resistant material such as cloth are stitched together in face to face relation. A quantity of unbound particulate material such as metal shavings or vegetable material is dispersed between the sheets. Stitching between the intermediate portions of the sheets defines a plurality of pockets so that the particulate material remains substantially dispersed over the area of the sheets. The particulate material preferably has sufficient thermal inertia so that the food warmer may be placed in an oven to heat the particulate material and thereafter wrapped about a portion of food to keep it warm during a meal.
