thermo server where to buy locally?
« on: February 05, 2011, 07:11:01 am »
Herbal posted a question in june 2010 requesting where to buy something like a thermoserver, and very happy jan suggested to try an indian grocery shop. Wanting to find something similar myself, I went into one today and they sell an insulated casserole which I have just purchased for $18.00. The sales man said it would keep food hot for may hours, so i,  am currently doing a temp/length of time hot trial between it and the thermoserver. Will let you know how it went.

I'll look forward to hearing how it went.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Great-it's a shame we can't by thermoservers without the demo. I'd love a second one. $18 sounds good value if it works well  :)

Do you think most Indian shops would sell them? Does it look as presentable s a thermoserver?

Just to let you know that I went to an Indian kitchen shop in Toronto, Ontario and they had various sizes of double walled or insulated dishes with covers.  I asked the clerk if they keep food hot for some time and he said yes they do.  I have not tried them as yet, as I was away.  Also, they are stainless steel, and I think one could find a Rubbermaid or some other plastic lid could fit if you wanted to change the lid.  I do not think the Thermoserver has a stainless steel lid.  They also warn you not to cook in them.  Marnie

I found these if anyone is interested who lives in the UK.Not quite up to the standard of the Thermoserver(you can't put these in the dishwasher)

I think both sets look really nice, must check out our Australian home supply stores to see what they sell. I can probably get away with the large thermosaver I do have but maybe a smaller one might come in handy at times. I really liked the look of the thermosaver but when you see other products, I think they far surpass it in looks. I got it for free though so have no complaints  ;)
