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.

Heating chamber for a portable stove comprises a fixation mechanism for securing, in a leak-free manner, a container such as a bottle to a first surface of the heating chamber; one or more compartments fillable with liquid, typically water, dispensed from the container; a pressure compensation valve; and an outlet configured to release the liquid from the heating chamber.

Described herein are portable cooking assemblies, including a portable cooking assembly that may include: a stove that may include: a base having a base aperture extending there through; and a sidewall extending from the base, the sidewall having an exhaust aperture and an air intake aperture; and an adapter ring for coupling to the base, wherein the adapter ring may include: an aperture having a second diameter that may be less than the first diameter; and an outer circumferential edge having a third diameter that may be greater than the first diameter.

A portable stove with stabilized gas pressure has a valve assembly, a gas pressure stabilizer, and a burner. The valve assembly has a body and a valve core. The body has an inlet, an outlet, and a cavity. The valve core is received in the cavity and blocks the inlet and the outlet. The gas pressure stabilizer has a flexible membrane, a pushing assembly, a spindle, and a compression spring. The membrane is configured to isolate the cavity from the outlet. The pushing assembly is mounted on a center of the membrane and abuts the valve core. The spindle has is screwed on the body, and is movable along an axial direction. The compression spring is located in the body, abuts against the spindle and the pushing assembly, and is compressible along the axial direction. The burner is connected with the body.

A lightweight portable heating device consisting of a container assembly and lid assembly that house a tub assembly for the purpose of heating liquids and food submerged in aforementioned liquids by means of a multi-fuel burner. Container assembly provides for several structures that improve ergonomics and handling of the lightweight portable heating device. For instance, container assembly includes an integrated handle that surrounds the container assembly proximate the top portion of the container assembly and is molded into the container assembly. Integrated handle allows for the ease of moving of the lightweight portable heating device by personnel. Proximate the bottom of container assembly are lifting handles that enable the lifting of the device above shoulder level while also functioning as a tie down point.

An intelligent heating system and method for providing varied heating experiences to food product packages and their contents in connection with pick-up food service, delivery food service, or both. The intelligent heating system dynamically controls energy provided to food packages and their contents in order to provide different heating experiences. The system can use location information to heat the food just before pick-up or delivery to enhance the consumption experience. The system can also control temperature to reduce the amount of condensation that forms within the package.
