ABSTRACT:
A container for storing or transporting heated food is constructed to keep water condensing from steam in the container from contacting the food item. The container includes a base Upon which the food item rests, and a cover portion which is adapted for placement-over the base to define a food storage chamber in which the food item is housed during storage and transport. Part of the cover portion is provided with a dual wall construction and has an inner wall portion positioned closest to the food storage food chamber and an outer wall portion spaced from the inner wall portion, so as to define a cavity therebetween. One or more openings are formed through the inner wall portion providing gaseous communication between the food storage chamber and the cavity. A series of ribs are provided about the openings to prevent condensate which forms in the cavity from returning through the openings into the chamber where it may otherwise contact the food.
