A serving tray configured to hold fresh baked pizza and hot-served food items in a prolonged hot and crispy state. The tray comprises a circular ventilated platform made of a perforated inner region surrounded by a solid rim. Stand-off dividers form a plurality of segregated breathing chambers below the ventilated platform. The stand-off dividers guide moisture vapor from the hot baked food item through the ventilated platform and toward a cool remote surface where the water vapors condense. External air drafts are obstructed by the stand-off dividers. The stand-off dividers include one annular riser divider and two internal cross-brace dividers that together form four sector-shaped breathing chambers. A flat handle extends between the two cross-brace dividers inside the annular riser divider. As slices of pizza are removed, the remaining portions of pizza on the tray stay hot and crispy as radiated heat is reflected within the still breathing chambers.

A holder houses a container of a fluid to be conveyed. The holder has a holder body having a bottom wall and a first side wall extending upward from a peripheral edge of the bottom wall, and a lid body having a top surface and a second side wall extending downward from a peripheral edge of the top surface. The lid body opens and closes an upper opening defined by an upper end of the first side wall. In a state where the container is housed in the holder, the upper end of the first side wall and a lower end of the second side wall are positioned below an upper end of the container, the top surface or the second side wall is in contact with the container or has a gap with the container such that the container is suppressed to tilt at a particular angle or more.

An apparatus includes first and second platforms, a stem, and a fluid transfer path. The first platform includes a first serving surface and one or more first thermoelectric modules with one or more supply sides facing the first serving surface. The second platform includes a second serving surface and one or more second thermoelectric modules with one or more supply sides facing the second serving surface. The stem extends from the first serving surface of the first platform to a bottom surface of the second platform. The fluid transfer path is configured to guide a fluid and includes a first flow path inside the first platform, a second flow path inside the second platform, and third and fourth flow paths inside the stem and extending between the first flow path and the second flow path.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the fields of temperature maintaining food servers by using rechargeable batteries as power source. The temperature maintaining food server has a long resistor heater covering most of the serving area and has a serving surface compatible with cutting and serving operation. The temperature maintaining food server is made to resist water for easy cleaning.
