Smart mugs and even insulated cups can be rather fancy but they can also fetch a high price.
Youll definitely seem them advertised this gifting season, but I say, resist!
My apartment was too chilly and the windows are North-facing, so not even sunlight could help.
I decided to try my mug warmer.
I put a ceramic dish on the warming plate and fabric pot holder on that.
Then I placed the metal bowl of dough on top.
(you’re free to read the full experience aboutproofing bread on a mug warmer here.)
Plug in the electric mug warmer and place the bowl of dip right on top.
This is helpful when youre eating dip solo, but especially clutch for parties.
Mine can be used with tempered glass (like a coffee carafe), ceramic dishware, and metal.
My everyday bowls are ceramic, so thats what I use for dips and soups.
That air pocket in the center isnt too deep, but its enough space to make heating less effective.
