WHAT DOES BEDWARMER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

bedwarmer

Bed warmer

A bed warmer or warming pan was a common household item in countries with cold winters, especially in Europe. It consisted of a metal container, usually fitted with a handle and shaped somewhat like a modern frying pan, with a solid or finely perforated lid. The pan would be filled with hot coals and placed under the covers of a bed, to warm it up and/or dry it out before use. After the invention of rubber, the classical bed warmer was largely supplanted by the hot water bottle, which is still widely used. In the early 20th century, electric blankets and then the electric bed warmer,, were invented to fulfill the same need.
