Best teapot warmers according to redditors

hmm.. the photo's pretty dark and I cannot see the features very well. Maybe look for the key words Nambu (南部), Tetsubin (鉄瓶), and HiraArare (平あられ)? Not quite the same but those can be similar.

I think it retains heat pretty well if you keep the lid on. It pours very nicely, you'll never miss or spill. And the mesh infuser is huge, it's really easy to pick up and let the tea drain so you don't over seep the tea.

Edit: You can also use this tea light warmer to keep the tea hot if you're going to take a few hours to drink the tea. It's only $10, and the teapot is $15 so you'd be spending a lot less than what you'd originally planned even with this add-on.

Tea cups like this teaology one ($3.95), or this series of Turkish cups--(or this alternative set) all would match the "all glass" look nicely.

Yup, something like this

I do half pounds with a mini vice grip, and a tea cup warmer.

After a bit of searching, I found this which is a similar device although the form is very different.

And you've got cast iron teapot warmers like this

I like metal for the exact opposite reason. I put my cast iron teapot on a teapot warmer (like this one) and it stays warm until I am finished. I'm sipping hot tea all the way to the end of the pot!

One has this same issue for tea and gong fu ceremonies.

You could get one of these

Or something like this

Or go old-school and get a cozy.

I use a desktop coffee cup warmer (similar to this one); got it at a thrift store for about $2. Sits by itself and just heats up the air. Puts out plenty of heat to fight the brutal North Alabama winter.

After I asked you about it I did a reverse image search and found it on amazon, that exact one to. Here it is, It is not a bad price, and you can get a Trivet, and a tea pot warmer for $67.12 USD, which in total is not bad for a nice tea set.

I am going to agree. Turn the OPs pic upside down (as said) then look at this one on amazon

I use this teapot warmer, and kettle. I make my own candles to get the temperatures where I want them, depending on tea type.

For brand new crystals I do a day/night cycle during a bright moon outdoors, the salt bath, and a sage "bomb". Hey, it might be overkill, I don't know where they've been!

I don't really go in for dyed crystals, so sunlight is not much of a problem (if you have dyed crystals, be careful because it could fade them), but when I do, I put them in white butcher trays because white is nice and reflective, and you can see the colors nicely behind them. When I am not using them for cleansing crystals, they're used for watercolor painting, so I don't specifically have a bunch of trays just for crystals.

For the sage: I have a tea warmer (this one actually: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XKHLCHU) that I put sage on charcoal incense every time I need them. So at least a handful once a week get this treatment. If I have to do larger amounts, or really want to make sure, I put a plastic tub (a very large one that is at least 1 foot away from the incense at all times) over top of the mini altar that I do this on, but I think this is specific to the table that I have and I would not recommend it to others (my table can only be described as an antique TV tray from before TVs existed that has a tempered chicken wire glass surface and air slots all around the side of it, so the incense doesn't go out when I place a giant plastic tub over it. It's pretty weird.) I can really get the smoke concentrated in there though, touching all surfaces.

For the salt bath when they have skin oils (except water soluble things like fluorite, selenite, etc). Usually once a month for things I tend to pick up a lot. I use the same butcher trays as I do outside.

YO that’s crazy because I always make it w the single serve machine I have and forget, and I hate microwaving it so I found a mug warmer on amazon that I wanna get 😭😭

like this one

I've worked with gelatin (Also 300 bloom Type A)! I've mostly worked with transglutaminase crosslinked gelatin though, because normal gelatin liquefies at 37C and I used the gelatin for mammalian cell culture.

To make my gelatin solutions (without transglutaminase) I dissolved the gelatin at 65C in PBS, but water/cell culture media should work fine. I noticed that I had to keep the solvent quite hot for the gelatin to dissolve well. My lab notebook notes say that going below 65C made the gelatin dissolve a lot slower, but YMMV.

I've gone up to 25% w/v gelatin. However, the max I'd be comfortable working with is 15% w/v. Even at 20% the gelatin is quite viscous and hard to work with, it gels fairly quickly once you take it out from a 37C environment into room temperature. (My room can get a bit cold though) Note: Higher w/v = faster gel time and more solid gel (i.e higher compressive modulus)

The actual w/v you should use depends on your application I guess. Do you want to set it on the fabric and not have any go through? If so maybe a higher w/v might be better (15-20%?). You could also just let whatever w/v gelatin solution you have cool and pour it right before it gets cold enough to gel though.

With regards to your last point: Well you said that the technique involves setting gelatin on the fabric... so I'm guessing you should let the gelatin set first?

Tip: I bought a cheap coffee cup warmer and set it to 37-40C to keep my gelatin from solidifying in the cell culture hood, until I needed it to.
