Title: thermo server where to buy locally?
Post by: pumpkin pie 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.

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  :)

Would love to hear how it goes and also see a pic of it if possible.

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  ;)
