brings back happy memories of going on the nightshift with my Dad (he died when I was 7) in the boiler room at the Trebor sweet factory in Forest gate.

[spanners]

my dad had a number of ways of warming food/tins of beans,soup and the like

in the brew canteen when he wasin the workshop he had a piece of thick but fine mesh that went over the gas ring and he stood the soup can on top to warm.

when out on site  he had a thick steel plate on a sort of tripod with a bracket/clip under it that took the welding or cutting torch  so that the steel plate got red hot ,a bit like a modern cookers ,solid, hot plate
