Cold is to Refrigerator as warm is to?

We have the Refrigerator, which sort of "create their own cold" using electricity (these obviously have to be plugged in).
What do you call an electrical device that keeps things warm?
I would think a "Warmer", but the antonym of "warmer" is "cooler", and a "Cooler" is already a thing (it's an insulating device that keeps a cold thing cold, but it doesn't "generate" cold from being plugged in).
Please ignore the scientific atrocities of saying "generate" cold. I'm simply being brief.

It's not necessarily true that a 'cooler' is a passive item. The sort of insulated box you are talking about is usually a 'cool box' in the UK. Also the piece of equipment in the corner of the office that provides drinking water is called a 'water cooler' and most of them actively cool the water before it is dispensed.

I think your question goes off track. What does "warmer" being an antonym of "cooler" have to do with your question (the unfinished analogy, your title)? And, BTW, there are electric coolers, for example: wine coolers, and coolers to keep produce fresh (i.e., 'cool' vs. 'cold'...given that neither technically exists).

A hot food holding cabinet (holding cabinet for short), is used to keep foods at safe-serving temperatures. The act of storing food in such a device (the equivalent of "refrigerating") is hot holding, so you may see them referred to as hot holders as well.
These are large, often the size of a refrigerator, and more common in food service contexts.

If we're being very specific in purpose and function, re: food and warming but not heating, then I'd suggest Bain-Marie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain-marie
The exact purpose it to heat to a fixed temperature, or keep at a fixed temperature. It's not typically used to cook, just to maintain that heat. Much like a fridge can cook (through cooling process) but that isn't it's express purpose.

Though it might be unrelated with food (as a refridgerator is), an incubator is a device that keeps fertile eggs warm, and i personally would use this word as a substitute for devices that keep other things warm.

I'm not sure if the opposite of a refrigerator is a pie warmer.

@JJJ Those are meat pies, so they must've been kept cold in the pie refrigerator before being cooked! 😀

A hot food holding cabinet (holding cabinet for short), is used to keep foods at safe-serving temperatures. The act of storing food in such a device (the equivalent of "refrigerating") is hot holding, so you may see them referred to as hot holders as well.
These are large, often the size of a refrigerator, and more common in food service contexts.

If we're being very specific in purpose and function, re: food and warming but not heating, then I'd suggest Bain-Marie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bain-marie
The exact purpose it to heat to a fixed temperature, or keep at a fixed temperature. It's not typically used to cook, just to maintain that heat. Much like a fridge can cook (through cooling process) but that isn't it's express purpose.

Though it might be unrelated with food (as a refridgerator is), an incubator is a device that keeps fertile eggs warm, and i personally would use this word as a substitute for devices that keep other things warm.

It's not necessarily true that a 'cooler' is a passive item. The sort of insulated box you are talking about is usually a 'cool box' in the UK. Also the piece of equipment in the corner of the office that provides drinking water is called a 'water cooler' and most of them actively cool the water before it is dispensed.

I think your question goes off track. What does "warmer" being an antonym of "cooler" have to do with your question (the unfinished analogy, your title)? And, BTW, there are electric coolers, for example: wine coolers, and coolers to keep produce fresh (i.e., 'cool' vs. 'cold'...given that neither technically exists).
