  • Publication number: 20130020307
    Abstract: A warming dish for use with a flameless warming device includes a main body and a heat spreader. The main body includes a base and side walls extending from the base portion to define a volume for containing liquid. The base is sized and configured to rest upon a base of a flameless warming device. The heat spreader may be in contact with the base such that heat generated within a base of a flameless warming device is transmitted by the heat spreader to the base of the main body of the dish. Flameless warming devices include such warming dishes. Methods of serving melted chocolate before bloom is observable on the chocolate utilize such warming devices in combination with opaque microwavable packages. Methods of manufacturing such warming dishes include forming the main body portion and providing the heat spreader in physical contact with the main body portion.
