Know before you buy
This warmer is designed to fit Pillivuyt’s plain and Plissé sauceboats, as well as their Fat and Lean Separator. It is specifically engineered to cradle these models securely.
While it may physically accommodate other vessels, it is precision-engineered for Pillivuyt’s specific sauceboat dimensions. For the best stability and heat distribution, we recommend using it only with the compatible Pillivuyt pieces.

Yes, the high-quality porcelain is durable and easy to maintain. You can wipe it down with a damp cloth or wash it with mild soap and water after the base has cooled completely.
The porcelain will become warm to the touch as it absorbs heat from the tealight. We recommend handling the warmer by the base or allowing it to cool down for a few minutes before moving it after use.
