An electrically heated kitchen utensil has a thermally insulated handle provided with an internal electric heating unit adapted to releasably receive and heat a kitchen device, such as a knife, spoon, scoop, dipper or spatula. The heating unit comprises a pair of spaced parallel electric heating elements defining an channel which receives the shank of the kitchen device. The kitchen device is releasably secured in the channel by interengaged teeth on the shank and a spring biased pivoted member forming the bottom of the channel. The kitchen device is released by a release push button acting on the pivoted member to disengage the teeth. A rheostat is provided to regulate the heat output of the heating elements.
