In a warmer having a liquid holding container on an electrical heating element housed in a base capable of heating a liquid to a temperature dependant upon the amount of liquid in the container, a detachable, portable holder and height adjuster for the liquid container to automatically control heat transfer from the electrical heating element to the liquid in the container, said adjuster comprising: (a) at least two container holding means to hold and suspend the liquid container at various heights above the warmer heating element, (b) at least two spring enclosures each housing a compressable spring means, (c) at least two spring depresser members each having two ends, one end of each rigidly connected to one of the container holder means and the other end bearing against the spring means in such a fashion so as to translate the pressure of the weight of the liquid in the container to compression of the spring means such that the height of the bottom of the container over the heating element is inversely proportional to the amount of liquid in the container, (d) at least two support arms resting on the base rigidly connected to the spring enclosures and connected to each other through a pivotal connection on one end to allow the arms to pivot in a horizontal position to cause the container holding means to fit the size of the container, and (e) bracket means holding and providing compression around the pivotal connection by connected ends of the support arms, maintaining their position with respect to each other, and around the base to hold the entire holder and height adjuster to the base of the warmer.
