The present invention related to a container for food and other products, where said container comprises: An upper compartment or part and a lower threaded lid; in the upper compartment is placed the contents of the product that can be food, and others. The lower threaded lid is interchangeable and allows the reuse of the upper compartment, and the arrangement of the upper compartment in an extended manner and under the upper compartment allows easy, quick and practical interchangeability of the lower threaded lid, without needing to flip the upper compartment in order to place or remove it. Likewise, the upper threaded lid is protected by a security seal at the junction between the upper threaded contour and said upper threaded lid. The package or container has at least one flexible and adaptable handle. Between the upper compartment and the inner container there is a free space through which the heat flows and surrounds the outside of the entire inner container, which holds the content of the product. The lower threaded lid has an integral mechanism of compounds that houses the chemical compounds that allow food to be heated and remain hot; said chemical compounds are calcium oxide or calcium chloride and water, separated by a breakable sheet and/or a breakable container. The calcium oxide or calcium chloride and the breakable water container are placed separately, as well as at least one striking mechanism for breaking the water container, allowing the elements to combine, producing an exothermic reaction. The lower threaded lid is joined to the upper compartment through a threaded connection and optionally an adhesive tape that makes it possible to maintain the temperature and avoid possible leaks of the content that is inside the container. There are three optional mechanisms for activating the self-heating device.

A water actuated food vessel heater comprising: an outer surface resting upon a support surface and configured to directly support the bottom surface of a chafing pan assembly; an upper rim comprising an elastic material; a lower rim comprising an elastic material; an inner bowl configured to hold a volume of water; and a plurality of vent grooves in an upper edge of the chafing heater.

An apparatus for heating a product includes a storage compartment for a product to be heated and a heater module physically and thermally coupled to the storage compartment. The heater module has a housing that defines a reaction chamber. A rigid barrier is inside the reaction chamber and defines first and second portions thereof. A first reactant is inside the reaction chamber, and a flexible bag (with a second reactant) is in the first portion of the first chemical reactant. The first and second reactants react exothermically upon contact. A piercing element can pierce the flexible bag. After piercing, the a fluid path and one or more fluid channels carry the second reactant to a section of the first portion of the reaction chamber away from where the flexible bag is located.

The present invention relates to a self-heating pouch for heating consumables and method of manufacture thereof. The self-heating pouch includes a flexible housing and a sealable cap. The flexible housing includes an internal pouch, an external pouch, and at least one frangible button. The internal pouch includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface of the internal pouch is configured to enclose the consumables. The external pouch is attached internally to the outer surface of the internal pouch. The at least one frangible button is included between the external pouch and the internal pouch. The at least one frangible button is configured to release a liquid to react with a heating agent and initiate heating of the consumables. The sealable cap is attached to top of the flexible housing and configured to dispense the consumables.

A self-heating product pouch has a first thin flexible material that surrounds and defines a product compartment. A second thin flexible material is coupled to an outwardly-facing surface of the first thin flexible material to define a first heater compartment that is outside, but thermally coupled to, the product compartment. A first thin porous substrate inside the first heater compartment. A granular reactant is distributed throughout the first thin porous substrate. A frangible container is inside the first heater compartment. A liquid reactant is inside the frangible container. The granular reactant and the liquid reactant are adapted to react exothermically upon contact with one another.
