Described is a reusable thermal insulating container sleeve. The reusable thermal insulating container sleeve is composed of an insulating polymer material and at least one thermally reflective material attached to the insulating polymer material. These materials increase the thermal insulating properties of the sleeve. The materials also prevent the buildup of condensation on the cup which is a common problem among other cup sleeves. The materials are also malleable, durable, and foldable, which permit the sleeve to be reusable. Furthermore, various embodiments of the invention include a sleeve that has a top and/or bottom portion which would cover the bottom of the beverage and further increase the thermal insulating properties of the sleeve. Finally, the present invention includes a method of insulating beverages.

The present invention is a sleeve that is place or wrapped around a beverage container. The sleeve is designed to either heat the beverage container to keep or change the temperature of the liquid within the beverage container. It can also be used to keep a users hand warm while drinking a cool beverage.

Disclosed is a double-wall cooling apparatus for use with a beverage container to keep the beverage or cold drinks cold for hours. The double-wall cooling apparatus includes a bottom section, a top section, and a twist-lock. The bottom section haying a cylindrical shape to conform to the shape of the beverage container. The bottom section comprises a closed bottom portion and an open-top portion. The top section being inwardly contracted at the top to form an opening. The twist-lock secures be top section and the bottom section. The bottom section and the top seem are detachably connected therewith.

A food preparation table includes a housing at least in part defining multiple food pan receiving locations and a cooling air flow path internal of the housing below the food pan receiving locations. A first food pan is positioned within a first one of the food pan receiving locations such that side walls and a bottom wall of the first food pan are within the cooling air flow path, a first one of the side walls of the first food pan includes a plurality of openings therein to permit some cooling air to enter the first food pan and flow in contact with food items therein.

A grilling device includes an auger feeder system, a heating element, a blower and a temperature control system. The temperature control system includes at least a first temperature sensor inside the firepot and a second temperature sensor inside a cooking chamber above the firepot. The heating element can also serve as the first temperature sensor. A method for controlling the temperature of the grill can include receiving temperature feedback information from one or more of the temperature sensors and adjusting power provided to the auger feeder system, heating element, and blower. The temperature control system produces cold smoke resulting from the combustion of lignin in solid wood fuel while minimizing temperatures inside the cooking chamber.

A bowl may include an outer body having a bottom configured to support the bowl on a surface, a circular foot removably affixed to the bottom by mechanical means, adhesive, or friction fit, an inner body wherein the inner body is connected to an upper edge of the outer body wherein the upper edge of the outer body is welded to the lip of the inner body, and an internal cavity wherein the internal cavity is formed by the outer body and inner body, and wherein the internal cavity is insulative.

A thermally insulated container for storing and serving frozen confectionery items, wherein the container is preferably arranged to be removably mounted within a service cart, such as an inflight service cart.

The present disclosure may be embodied as a drinking vessel having an insulating body. The insulating body includes a cavity for containing a liquid. The cavity has a bottom and a cylindrical side wall. A top portion of the cylindrical side wall is internally threaded. The insulating body further includes a base with a storage mount. The storage mount is internally threaded. A lid having a drinking orifice is provided. The lid is externally threaded. The lid is configured to couple with the threads of the cavity or the threads of the storage mount such that the lid may be selectively coupled. The drinking vessel may further include a clamping ring. The clamping ring is externally threaded to couple with the cavity or the storage mount. The clamping ring is configured to cooperate with the cavity to secure a can or bottle within the cavity.

A bowl may be configured to include an outer body that has a u-shaped cross section, and the outer body may have a bottom configured to support the bowl on a surface, the bottom also including a circular groove around a circumference of the bottom and a bracket within the circular groove, wherein a foot is inserted within the groove, and wherein the foot is secured to the circular groove by the bracket. The bowl may include an inner body, wherein the inner body is concave and dome-shaped. The inner body may hold a liquid or solid, and the inner body is connected to an upper edge of the outer body. An internal cavity is formed by the outer body and inner body, and the internal cavity is insulative. The connection formed by the upper edge of the outer body and the inner body may be seamless.

A temperature controlled storage assembly for food and beverages includes a housing, which defines an interior space, and a bowl. The housing has a recess extending into an upper face thereof. A thermal energy storage material can be selectively positioned in the interior space. The bowl comprises a bottom, which has a lower sidewall coupled thereto and extending therefrom. The lower sidewall has an upper sidewall coupled thereto and extending therefrom to define a top of the bowl. The top is open for insertion of an article into the bowl, such as a foodstuff or a beverage. The lower sidewall is inserted into the recess to selectively engage the housing. At least one of the bottom and the lower sidewall of the bowl transfer heat between the thermal energy storage material and the article.
