Some additional flavoring

May 2012 Issue of one my favorite magazines "Popular Science" @Popsci contains an article by Paul Adams about Food Science; yes, preparing food is an art and a science with many companies and laboratories dedicated to the manufacture, packaging, conserving food and even the production of proprietary flavorings. The article is good but it is basically dedicated to packaged food that can sit unrefrigerated on a supermarket shelf. What about delicious food that Chefs prepare or you cook at home? Only to serve it on a cool plate that will start getting your food cold immediately? What company is thinking about it?  Keeping food from getting cold on the plate. As far as I know only HotSmart is doing it and their products are already available in Amazon.com.  Just type HotSmart Plates 
This is a direct link: click here

"Beer is bitter and Ice cream is sweeter

when hot...

Steak is tastier... on a HotSmart"

(Actually all hot food tastes better on a HotSmart)

The plate affects taste? Not really, temperature does; this is why good restaurants preheat your plate, I don't need to prove that but regular plates when preheated get cold in about 5 minutes while HotSmarts are reaching max. temperature (They reach maximum temp after you take them out of the microwave oven and don't waste heat) and they are still hot after 30 minutes AND they need only one minute preheating in the microwave AND they can be handled with the bare hands AND  I will improve them (Continuous improvement)

There is lots of info already on the web; See:  HotSmart Squidoo

Temperature affects taste; this is a well known fact, some things are better cold (but not too cold, like white wine) and some things are better hot (but not too hot, you get the point right?). HotSmart has developed a plate that keeps hot food at the right temperature all throughout the meal; below is a typical temperature chart. HotSmart plates were mentioned briefly in Popular Science a few years ago when all I had were crude prototypes I thank the Editor Mark Jannot and Lauren Aaronson.  (They kindly answered my e-mails). 

At the time I got mail from all over the world but I did not have the product, just prototypes.

Now HotSmarts are available in Amazon.com and They look like this (click it for larger image):

First of all: This is not a regular plate, this is a HotSmart

A HotSmart is a patented Heat Storage Device shaped more or less like a plate but capable of storing enough heat in  one single minute to remain hot for more than 30 minutes. It keeps your food hot.

A "simple" delicious steak prepared at home; the HotSmart plate makes a big difference

 

HotSmart Plates stay hot for more than 30 minutes and require ONE single minute microwaving Click here

Heat storing device? who would buy it? Who would find it?

It does look like a plate, and would you buy a Heat Storing Device? The combination of the upper component, the base and the microwave absorbing core are the heat storage device not only the core, besides, I guess what you want is your food to stay hot, right?

Some day when somebody says: 

"I want my steak medium rare on a HotSmart"

The waiter will know (HotSmarts are great for steak by the way)

Classic elegance and hi-tec functionality
The only plates in the world that keep food hot (Patented)
HotSmart Hot Plates

 

Eat slowly and avoid overeating, obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and lots of bad stuff 

Hot They need only one minute preheating in the microwave oven; reach maximum temperature 5-8 minutes after taking them out of the oven; About 200F (The delay action prevents overheating or overcooking the food)

Smart Can be handled safely by the rim with the bare hands; the rim does not get hot; HotSmarts release the heat slowly to the food when needed, not before (See delay action above ), they release the heat slowly, at a controlled rate using the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

That is the reason for the HotSmart brand name. You should really take a look at the specifications

Serving Food Properly

A New Way of Serving Food Properly
(A new technology is changing the rules)

 

There is something you need to learn about serving food; while cooking, recipes, techniques and kitchen tools have been evolving a lot, the art of serving food has been concentrating on etiquette and aesthetics which is great but our food keeps getting cold before we finish it. No matter how many hours you spend shopping and cooking  food gets cold in 5 minutes even if you preheat the plate. It was a paradigm: "A plate is just a plate"; not anymore

For me the only way of serving food properly is to serve it on Heat Retentive Plates which keep food warm on the plate until you finish enjoying it; I am sure you probably don't know about Heat Retentive Plates, they are a new technology in ceramic plates that you can preheat for just one minute in the microwave and they get very hot, they are still hot after 1/2 hour and these HotSmart Plates are patented and sold only in Amazon.com as:

InstaHot 30 min plus HotSmart Plates.

How do I know all this? I am the inventor; I invented, patented and founded HotSmart in El Paso Texas. All the details are on my SQUIDOO.

Prevent type 2 diabetes

Is my Gourmet Plate a Diabetes Plate? Or simply a plate that prevents overeating? BOTH

This Gourmet Plate is designed to enjoy food, it prevents overeating and obesity
(No, in all honesty, it was not designed as a diabetes plate)
www.EatSlowlySite.com 

OK,  if this gourmet plate is not a diabetes plate what then? Let me try to phrase this carefully: This is the best plate diabetics -and pre-diabetics- can use to train themselves  to eat slowly, avoid overeating and obesity (Everybody knows obesity is linked to diabetes).

I'm sorry but those plates with portions painted on them are ugly  and get your food cold which in turn make you eat fast and overeat since you are still hungry (The hypothalamus in our brain needs about 20 minutes to get the satiety signal, if you eat fast you will overeat simply because you are still hungry even if your stomach is bloated).


Print those portions on a piece of paper, not on the plate; HotSmarts can be used in formal dinners, they are bone china plates


There are 57 million pre-diabetic people in the USA; diagnosed diabetics 17.9 million people, undiagnosed 5.7 million, total = 23.6 million. Click to see statistics

 fortunately type 2 diabetes is preventable

Overeating and obesity are linked to type 2 diabetes.

Microwave Plate Warmers For Hot Plates

I am @HotSmart 

(The inventor of HotSmart Hot Plates)

I have good news for you: Your own microwave oven is a good microwave plate warmer; unfortunately your regular plates will not stay warm so I have something much much better for you,  Heat Retentive Plates (I also call them  Gourmet_Plates) that remain HOT for more than 30 minutes (30+ minutes) to keep your food warm,  it needs only one single minute preheating in the microwave and what is probably the best feature is that you can handle them safely by the rim with your bare hands (The rim does not get hot).


Another excellent feature is that it has a delay action to avoid overheating or overcooking the food and the heat is released slowly. You really need to see the specifications; this is really a quantum leap for the ceramic plate which had not evolved in many centuries.

From El Paso Texas to the world

 You already have the plate warmer; all you need is the plate that stores the heat

Heat Storage Dish

By the way, did you know that eating slowly prevents overeating an obesity? Now your food will not get cold. Please don't miss the specs and don't forget to tweet for your friends

Very hot at the center (White zone); all the red zone is hot and the rim is cool (Green zone)
This is really a Gourmet Plate; not just by name as all the others 

Will you please RT for your friends? (This is good news, no more bland cold food)

HotSmart Plates have a delay action

This is an old post with important information from the time when I started developing HotSmart Plates   
2006-08-06 19:36:01
When I had a prototype that complied with my set goal (preheat one minute to stay hot for 30 minutes), we were happy to test it, but ... it was "too good", that is a way of saying that the food was hotter than expected, so what to do? The purpose of the plate is to keep food hot at the table to enjoy it, particularly on those special occasions, but not so hot that you burn your mouth or that you have to wait for your food to cool down, so I had to include in the design a delay action, that is: The plate reaches maximum temperature typically 5 to 8 minutes AFTER is taken out of the microwave oven. this can be specified in the design as desired (within certain limits of course), so the heat "kicks in" when needed not immediately when the food is served. That, and the fact that the rim remains cool for easy handling was -among many other things- one of the reasons for which I chose the brand "HotSmart" I believe the plate is "Smart" for a plate that had not learned a new trick in about 12,000 years. Of course, you have always the option of preheating for less than one minute if you do not want your food too hot. Please see the specifications and decide for yourself if the plates are hot and smart.

Can you see the delayed action and how heat is released slowly?

Formula for heat conduction


Everything conspires for your food to get cold on the plate
Heat is conducted from your hot food to your cold plates and your food also radiates heat into the air, -but that's a different formula- and to explain how heat retentive plates  store enough heat in one single minute to remain still hot after 30 minutes to keep your food warm? But yet you can handle them with your bare hands is a long story...Trust me; they work as described on the specifications (Link below).

 I know this is an odd way to explain a Gourmet Plate, but HotSmart Plates are different to all other plates in the world in functionality; they keep food warm for full enjoyment, see the specifications

Gourmet Plates

Drawing of a HotSmart Gourmet Plate www.HotsmartUSA.com
The only functional change to the ceramic plate in Centuries comes from El Paso, Texas

There are many  plates on the market named by their manufacturer "gourmet plates"; what they all have in common is: they start getting your food cold as soon as you serve it on the plate and the reason is that when two objects are in contact, heat always flows from the object at a higher temperature to the object at lower temperature. See the formula for heat conduction but don't worry, All I want you to notice is the "A" or Area and the (Thot-Tcold) or difference in temperatures. The larger the area and the larger the difference in temperatures the faster the heat flow from the food to the plate Q/t will be (And the faster your food will get cold). All plates have large contact areas with the food, and the hotter you serve the food  the larger the temperature difference will be (Thot-Tcold).

Plates have a large "A" (Area)

HotSmart Heat Retentive Plates are real Gourmet plates that  have a very efficient heating element which instead of getting your food cold releases infrared radiation at a controlled rate to keep it warm, but I will not repeat here; see the specs (Click the specifications link above).

Anyway, I wanted to claim the name Gourmet plates for HotSmarts; the others are... just plates even if they are Limoges. Let me put it this way: Every Chef should get a HotSmart for his personal use; cooking is an art, and your cooking should not get cold before you finish enjoying it.

HotSmarts allow you to eat slowly to avoid overeating, obesity and even:
