We all know how great Granite countertops are and how tough they are when found in our kitchens, so wouldn't it make sense that anything made from Granite is going to have some value?

Imagine the, a Granite food warmer for your kitchen table. Not only does the granite part look great, it is durable, but now you have a way to keep your food warm while it sits on your table during a meal.

Granite hot plates are nothing new, but I'm surprised by how little they are actually used. Honestly, I had never even thought about how effective they are and I am one of the fussy people that hates my hot food served cold.

 Here is what Wikipedia says about Granite:

"Granite is nearly always massive (lacking internal structures), hard and tough, and therefore it has gained widespread use as a construction stone. The average density of granite is 2.75 g/cm3 and its viscosity at standard temperature and pressure is ~4.5 • 1019 Pa·s [1] . The word granite comes from the Latin granum, a grain, in reference to the coarse-grained structure of such a crystalline rock."

In my opinion, Granite is probably one of the most sought after materials in home construction, especially in kitchens. I had my home remodeled in 2006 and I was fortunate enough to get black granite countertops and they are beautiful and more importantly, for my family, they are tough and durable. I know black granite sounds funny, but with the cherry wood cabinets, it looks beautiful.  It's actually more of a dark green granite with specks of color in it.

If you want to see for yourself how durable this great stone called granite can be, and how useful it can be around your dinner table, be sure to check out my store listings to see a great sale on The "only seen on tv" Keep It Hot, Microwavable hot plate. This is a simple granite tile with plastic edges creating a very portable and usable foodwarmer.
