Cooking a hot delicious meal can be an enjoyable experience; However, once the food is placed on a plate, it can get cold quickly before a person has finished eating. A person may have to rush through their meal to prevent it from getting cold. Some food may get too cold and end up wasted due to being unappetizing.
Provide users with a unique plate capable of being heated to an optimal temperature to keep food warm when placed on the surface.
Features an integrated heating element embedded between the top and bottom section of the plate that can be charged and activated prior to a meal.
Includes a rubber base that will not heat to ensure users can carry and handle the plate without the worry of burns or other injuries.
Allows users to charge the plates in a plug-in storage rack that can house several plates simultaneously.
Enables people to place their meal on the plate and keep it warm, offering a way to eat at a leisurely pace without food becoming cold and unappetizing.
The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later. Plated is a multipurpose plate for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and other meals used to keep food at an optimal temperature for leisurely consumption.
The plate allows people to relax and enjoy their meal without worry of food getting cold. Each plate features an embedded heating mechanism capable of being charged via a storage rack. The storage rack can be plugged into an electrical outlet, and the plate’s internal heating element can be charged. Users can choose a fully charged plate from the storage rack and place food on its surface. The heat-conductive materials ensure the food is kept warm until consumed.
The base and sides of the plate can feature rubber or other materials that are kept cool, allowing users to handle the plate without worry of burns or discomfort. Overall, the plate helps people slowly consume their food without it getting cold and becoming unenjoyable. Exact size, measurement, construction, and design specifications may vary upon further development and manufacturing.
What has been described above includes examples of the claimed subject matter. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the claimed subject matter, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the claimed subject matter are possible. Accordingly, the claimed subject matter is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the term “includes” is used in either the detailed description or the claims, such term is intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising” as “comprising” is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.

The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously, many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The exemplary embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the present invention and its practical application, thereby enabling others skilled in the art to best utilize the present invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
Audrey Hubbard was born and reared in Brooklyn, New York. Audrey attended NYC public schools and received her B.A. in English from Brooklyn College and her M.A. in Education from Columbia University.
Audrey taught JHS English for many years before becoming a national staff developer. Working with the United Federation of Teachers, Audrey helped facilitate teachers and other school personnel in providing Effective Classroom Management as well as techniques for working more efficiently as a school team.
Gifted with a creative spirit, Audrey has always tried to fill the void of what does not exist, should. She believes that if she needs a particular product, others would too, and tries to bring that product to fruition. Thus, “Hot Plated” came into existence. Noticing that so much food is wasted during leisurely eating because food gets cold and unappetizing, a plate that kept food warm was necessary. This product is perfect for restaurants as well as home use.
Audrey cherishes her family and life-long friends. Because she has been given, she continuously looks to give. She is a member of several civic and service organizations.
