Default Can I put a coffee warmer on a dimmer switch?

Most coffee mug warmers are under-powered. One reviewer on Amazon said
that they were restricted to about 24 watts by law.

This one

is made for warming the whole coffee pot. It says it's 120V/15amp.
Several of the reviews say that they use it for a single cup, but it
keeps it too hot. It only has on/off -- no temperature control.

Can I put it on a 300 watt dimmer switch like this?

If not, is there a way to ramp the power down as an external
thermostat?



OK, I'll bite-- why would you want to??
