Abiscuit warmer (also folding biscuit boxorbun warmer) is a kitchen utensil, for warming and serving biscuits.[1]

History

[edit]

Biscuit warmers were first manufactured in Victorian England, first in Sheffield Plate and later in electroplate.[2][3] They were designed to be placed by a fire to warm the biscuits and act as a serving vessel.[4] In the 21st century they are mostly treated as collectibles.[5]

Design

[edit]

The boxes were made of a clamshell design and commonly had a screen on either side affixed to a divider in the middle.[4][6][3] They could be brought to the table so diners could take a hot biscuit.[5]
