We used to use a small hot plate. You could buy them anywhere really cheap but the best way for you to do is get a second microwave and just every now and then warm it up. Also, you can get a toaster oven and put it on low heat what I rather see you use the microwave the hot plate you have to be careful because you can burn really easy. If you do take another piece of art aluminum or something to put on the burner, then put your pot on top of that if that helps you a little bit.

Good advice, I have always taken Bob's word.

One way I helped keep my plastic hot was I covered it when not in use. It helped retain heat.
