There is provided an apparatus for heating a pot of food or beverage, the apparatus comprising at least one receptacle (20), each receptacle for temporarily receiving a pot of food or beverage to be heated. Each receptacle comprises a base (22), sidewalls (24), and an opening opposite from the base (22) for receiving the pot; a heater element (43) mounted to the sidewalls; a temperature sensor (45) mounted to the base; a pot sensor (40, 41) for detecting whether or not a pot is present in the receptacle; and a controller connected to the heater element, temperature sensor, and pot sensor. The controller is configured to control the heater element in response to the pot sensor and temperature sensor.

The present invention relates to a burner (2) for a portable stove comprising a burner head (3), a mixing tube (4), a plurality of primary air ports (7) being disposed on the mixing tube (4) and an orifice (5) through which a gaseous combustible enters into the mixing tube (3) to form a gaseous mixture with ambient air. The burner head (3) is composed of an upper burner part (8) with a plurality of burner ports (11) and a burner lower part (9), the lower burner part being connectable to the mixing tube (4). The invention is characterized in that a dividing means (13) is disposed within the burner head (3). The dividing means (13) and the lower burner part (9) forming a first flow channel (C1) for the gaseous mixture, and the dividing means (13) and the upper burner part (9) forming a second flow channel (C2) for the gaseous mixture being connected to the first flow channel (C1).

A portable-device support apparatus includes a surface element. First support elements are coupled to the surface element. Each first support element has an end proximal to the surface element and an end distal from the surface element. Second support elements are coupled to a respective first support element by a respective fastening device. Each fastening device can translate back and forth along a respective one of the first support elements between the proximal and distal ends. The apparatus has a deployed position in which each second support element extends at an angle from a first support element. The apparatus has a storage position.

A food transportation system and associated modular humidity control system are provided. An example system includes a body configured for attachment with a food storage housing. The body defines a closed circuit air flow path for circulating air through the food storage housing. The system also includes a humidity control element secured within the closed circuit air flow path that condenses moisture from the moisture-laden air passing through the closed circuit air flow path. The system further includes a condensation collector configured to receive fluid condensed from the moisture-laden air by the humidity control element.

Described herein are portable cooking assemblies, including a portable cooking assembly that may include: a first container having a first sidewall and an opening; a stove disposed in the first container, the stove may include: a second sidewall having an exhaust aperture and an air intake aperture; and a base coupled to the second sidewall; wherein fuel may be capable of being burned within the stove; and a lid coupled to the first sidewall of the first container and covering the opening and the stove.

Packaging for a food product has a box made from cardboard material with a base and a lid. The lid is fitted pivoting around a hinge fixed to the base. An electrically conducting foil is installed so as to separate the food product and the base. The lid is cut by a cutting line extending to define a central area and a peripheral area each arranged pivotally with respect to the base. The central area is inscribed inside the peripheral area. The central area is facing the electrically conducting foil and extends partly in a front side panel of the lid opposite the side panel supporting the hinge.
