A built-in well type food warmer includes a heating element assembly which is separably engaged with the underside of a food well by adjustable hanger members. The heating element assembly includes an upper heat distribution plate which is nestable within a recess formed in the bottom of the food well. The heating element assembly is enclosed by a tray member which is resiliently mounted within an enclosure. Brackets extending outwardly from the enclosure are attached to the lower ends of baffle hangers which extend downwardly from an upper rim of the food well. The hangers are formed of two separable members, adjustably connected together for selectively adjusting the length of the hanger. As the hangers are shortened, the heating element assembly is resiliently biased into contact with the bottom surface of the food well within a recessed portion thereof.

A built-in well type food warmer comprising: an upwardly opening food well having a heat conductive bottom wall; a heating assembly including a thermal insulation means, a heating element supported by said thermal insulation means, a mounting member, resilient mounting means, and a thermally conductive member which is resiliently mounted by the resilient mounting means to the mounting member and which is sufficient to receive heat from said heating element, said thermally conductive member positioned to be brought into heat conducting engagement with the bottom wall of said food well when an upward force is applied to said heating assembly through the resilient mounting means, and supporting means secured to said food well at points romote from said heating assembly, said supporting means supporting said mounting member in engagement with the heat conductive bottom wall of said food well, said supporting means further imparting an upward force to said thermally conductive member through said resilient mounting means to bring said thermally conductive member into heat conducting relationship with the heat conductive bottom wall of said food well.
