A food delivery apparatus includes a domed shell that defines an interior space. A thermal storage device is secured to the shell so as to direct heat downward to food within the interior space.

The present invention relates to a beverage serving tray having a circular shape and a multitude of compartments having flexible linings. The compartments are on a circular base surface and each can receive a beverage glass, container, can, or bottle. The flexible lining surrounds an internal periphery of each compartment and secures the beverage containers therein. A handle is present at the bottom of the tray for easy transporting of the tray with one hand. A cylindrical or sleeve shaped wall extends upward from a periphery of the circular base surface to provide additional protection to the beverage containers. The tray allows users to carry up to eight or more beverages at one time in a secure and comfortable manner.

An improved dish for displaying and storing vegetables at room temperature. A transparent dome component rests on a planar base. An opening in the apex of the dome components allows vegetable to be readily placed and removed from the dish. The opening is closed by a loose-fitting lid so that sufficient humidity is maintained to keep the stored vegetables from becoming flaccid. Yet sufficient air exchange is allowed by the edges of the lid to retard senescent and spoiling of the vegetables.

A method of preparing and serving a meal package (10) comprising the steps of: preparing a meal package(10), including:disposing a food product (16, 17) into a container (11), the container (11) having an opening defining therein a volume for receiving the food product(16, 17); and sealing the container by securing a film (12) over or around the container (11);heating the meal package (10) in a microwave oven; removing the film from the container; serving the heated food product in the container; cleaning the used container after the food product has been consumed; and repeating the above steps for the used container.

A container for storing, displaying, and serving fresh produce that extends the shelf life without refrigeration. The container includes a bottom tray, a slotted tray, a vertical extending wall, a cover, and a light source. The slotted tray sits above and nests within the bottom tray. The vertical wall removably extends from the bottom tray to form a compartment defined by the vertical wall and the bottom and slotted trays for fresh produce. The cover sits on the vertical wall enclosing the compartment. The light source shines light into the compartment.

A serving container and associated ring element that includes a serving dish and a ring element having a ring element lip with a shape that substantially corresponds to a shape of a serving dish lip, wherein portions of the ring element lip are formed to be positionable around at least a portion of the serving dish lip to provide frictional engagement between portions of said ring element lip and at least a portion of said serving dish lip, such that said ring element is capable of securing a foil pan within said serving dish.

A serving apparatus is provided to minimise risk of injurious events in a hospital or care setting. The serving apparatus comprises, a serving member having a serving platform; a rotation mechanism in rotatable communication with the serving member; a stand in communication with the rotation mechanism, the stand having a connecting portion; said connecting portion being arranged to reversibly couple the stand to an item of furniture; wherein the rotation mechanism is arranged to provide reciprocal rotation of the serving member between a stowed position and a serving position. The serving apparatus of the present invention aims to minimise the risk of falls or injurious spillages and may also maintain the healthy orthopaedic properties of furniture during mealtimes, without necessitating an awkward seating position wherein said orthopaedic properties become substantially defunct.
