A rechaud or dish warmer is an object for keeping dishes with food warm. Characteristic of a rechaud is that it is made in such a way that a pan, plate or dish can be placed above a heat source. The heat source is often sufficient to keep dishes warm, rechauds are not suitable for heating up dishes. Rechauds with candles are most often used for domestic use. Rechauds are often used in Chinese or Indian restaurants to serve rice tables. These will then remain warm while eating.

Another kind of a rechaud is a so-called "tea light". This is a somewhat smaller rechaud that is equipped with just one candle burner, on which a teapot can be placed. The smaller rechaud owes its commonly used nickname "tea light" to this method of use.

Brabantia is a company founded in the Dutch village of Aalst and manufactures metal and plastic household products. Today, the head office is located in Valkenswaard, North Brabant. Production no longer takes place in the Netherlands.

The company started in 1919 with 15 employees under the name Van Elderen & Co. It was originally a metal goods company that supplied to agriculture and the cigar industry: milk sieves, buckets, funnels, watering cans and cigar tins.

When it was founded in 1919, the company was named "Van Elderen & Co". After some time the name changed to "Van Elderen's Metalware Factories Brabantia". From about 1941 the first part of the name has been omitted, and it is only "Brabantia". Brabantia is the Latin word for Brabant (Dutch Province).

Brabantia was founded in 1919 in the Dutch town of Aalst by a group of 15 people. A family business pur sang. Then and now. With a firm belief in honest products, made by people with a heart for quality. Ideas focused on sustainability - designed for living.
