June 1998 – Waterbridge Inc. TORONTO - Traditionally there were certain household items coveted by the wealthy as status symbols. The functional plate warmer was one of these luxuries. The original plate warmer was designed in France in the late 1940's and manufactured in the State of New York. Its popularity grew when word spread that every Christmas, King George the sixth requested hundreds of plate warmers as Royal Christmas gifts. His gifts traveled to the shores of North America where this serving tradition was born. It later became chic among the Hollywood set to have a plate warmer at barbecues. Over time the plate warmer was a mainstay item for several high-end catalog houses. This Spring, North Americans will be able to continue this tradition when Waterbridge of Ontario, Canada brings the Waterbridge Plate Warmer to stores across Canada and the United States. "I first got the idea for manufacturing and marketing the plate warmer when a relative had asked last Christmas where she might find something to warm-up plates" says Suzanne Keating. The Waterbridge Plate Warmer is a heating pad controlled by a thermostat that slowly heats up to fifteen plates in approximately 25 minutes to a comfortable temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit. "A primary rule in culinary art is that hot food must be served on hot plates. When food cools off it begins to set. Its appearance becomes less attractive and appealing to the eye and flavor is not accented to its full height." Says well-known chef Ron Kaleniuk, author of the best selling Simply Delicious Cooking Series. The plate warmer can be used with all fine bone china, patterned, metal based trim, glass and ceramic plates. The Waterbridge Plate Warmer features a protective insulating pad that enables the warming pad to sit on any counter top including the dining room table. The Waterbridge Plate Warmer's stain guarded slipcover is easy to remove and available in assorted styles and fabrics including Waverly . Waterbridge is an Ontario Canada based company founded in 1994
to develop and market household specialty products. |
