ABSTRACT:
A container for the temporary storage and serving of food products such as salads is provided which comprises an outer bowl, and an inner bowl receivable within the outer bowl such that a space is defined between the outer and inner bowls for containing ice or hot packs for cooling or heating the walls of the inner bowl. A drain assembly for selectively draining excess salad dressing or condensed water out of the inner bowl is also provided which is formed in part from a bottom wall portion of the inner bowl and a drain cover plate that is slidably mounted over the wall portion. Both the bottom wall portion of the inner bowl and the drain cover plate include mutually registrable patterns of drain ports which may be slidably moved into alignment when drainage of the inner is desired. The sliding movement between the drain ports on the bottom wall portion of the inner bowl and the drain cover plate advantageously applies shear forces to food particles which may lodge in the drain ports, thereby advantageously dislodging them.
