good

The first one I received didn’t work, but the seller was great and super quick to send me a replacement! This one works no problems!! I’m totally obsessed with this thing. I LOVE to host and finding kitchen gadgets to make it easier for me is what I love. This is definitely one of them! I’ve already used this thing for so many things, taco night, make your own pizza night, and even for jambalaya with all the fixings!! The heat is perfect and adjustable. I love that you can also set a timer in case you are worried about forgetting to turn it off on your own! It’s also super aesthetically pleasing. Overall, GREAT product!! You definitely need this in your life!!

I'll start with what I like about this mat. The first, most obvious plus, is the size. This thing is huge. We are used to hosting parties with 20-50 people, and this mat will definitely handle the number of dishes that need to be kept warm. The wide range of temperature controls and auto shutoff timers is also a win. The raised feet keep the counter underneath from getting too hot, and it warms very evenly across the entire surface. Where the mat looses points is with the temperature accuracy. I'm pretty sure this was calibrated for Celsius. On average, the surface temperature of the mat is about 30 degrees hotter than what reads on the control. Going up in 10 degree increments results in around a 30 degree temperature jump, which coincidentally works out to a 10 degree *Celsius* jump. However, once pans are placed on the mat, you will notice a significant drop in that spot as the mat works to transfer more heat. I placed a pan of hot water on the mat to see if it could maintain the temperature. Spoiler, it did not. So will this mat keep your food warm? Yes, for a bit. Will it keep it out of the danger zone? Absolutely not. Be sure to maintain your regular food safety procedures in terms of how long hot dishes stay out, but during that window at least you won't have ice cold mashed potatoes.

Do you like to entertain? Do you hate trying to keep hot foods hot with old school chafing dishes heated, overheated, or under-heated by the open flames of sterno? With this temperature controlled, XXL, electric graphene based warming mat from Anyeye, those days are over. During the holidays, I’ve long struggled to keep multiple dishes at the correct serving temperatures when dishes move from the kitchen to the dining room. I was determined to come up with a solution that worked for both my guests and me. In the past I’ve tried everything from heating pads repurposed from the orthopedic cabinet wrapped in towels, to air activated hand warmers (seriously), to candle warmed covered dishes (they burn food where the candle’s heat is concentrated and leave hard to clean soot residues, too) to sterno heated chafing dishes (sterno stinks) to glorified rigid hot plates (takes up way too much storage). When I saw the Anyeye XXL Roll Up Heating Mat, I knew that I had to give it a whirl. As a self professed tech geek, I was impressed with its innovative use of graphene. Not only is this heating mat flexible (it rolls up and comes with a protective cloth storage bag to boot), but it’s strong, too. I was totally blown away with how big this warming mat really is - it’s THREE FEET long and almost 16” wide. It can literally accommodate an entire buffet. It has precision temperature controls that can hold hot food at temperatures ranging from 122F to 212F and because it employs graphene, it can begin meaningful heat transfer within 10 seconds. This buffet food warming mat is like nothing I’ve seen until now. I love it. Its electronic controls are easy to use and its performance speaks for itself. Not only do you have full temperature control with heat evenly spread across its surface, but it comes with a built in timer as well - remembering to turn itself off so you don’t have to. If my grandmother that taught me to cook was still living, there is no doubt that I would have to buy a second one of these units for my own use because she would have claimed this one before the dishes were put away. I couldn’t blame her either! Cleanup is easy and storage is a breeze once the mat has cooled. It simply rolls up and goes into its supplied cloth storage sleeve. I’m pretty sure that I’m going to get another one of these mats for the holidays. If you cook and entertain, you need to order one, too.

I honestly didn’t expect to love the Anyeye XXL warming mat as much as I do, but it’s become one of my favorite kitchen items to use. I got this warming mat to keep food hot for the occasional dinner when people are running late or when I have friends or employees round for dinner but now I find myself using it a couple of times a week - especially when I have guests over. I've also used it at friends homes when we have our pot luck buffet style meal &a movie party night and it always ends up being an absolute hit with everyone! The size (XXL) is perfect for me as it fits multiple dishes at once without feeling cluttered. I was a little skeptical about the size initially and worried about the “graphene heating,” but it actually heats up quickly and evenly. No hot spots that I can find and no cold corners also. The adjustable temperature and timer settings are super easy to use, plus it's an added safety factor in the event you get distracted talking. I also love the way I can set it and forget it while I continue prepping. When Im done, its easy to wipe clean plus it rolls up nicely and fits back into the dust cloth bag which is a great feature for something so large. I can just store it away in a cabinet when not in use. If you host dinners, potlucks, or it you have difficultly getting everyone to be on time for family dinner and you hate cold food, this thing is absolutely worth it. I’ve already recommended it to a few friends and my sister (who's using her's for church dinner events). Yes, its not cheap but in the end you may not require the XXL warming mat and can save $50 by ordering the XL version which is a great size for smaller meals. Highly recommended 5 Stars!
