1. A device for thermalizing food, comprising:

  • a heat-conducting plate defining an upper food-contact surface having a food contact surface area;

    an electrical resistance heater in conductive contact with said plate, wherein the resistance of the heater is selected so that the heater draws less than 200 watts per square foot of food contact surface area; and

    an automatic control, which maintains the temperature of the plate at an equilibrated, fixed temperature in the range of 160°

    F. to 185°

    F., with a temperature fluctuation within the range of ±



    F. when equilibrium has been reached.
