ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a device for heating food contained in a sealed container, such as a tin, can or carton, without use of external heat.
The device comprises at least one sealed container surrounded by an envelope forming an annular chamber containing quicklime and water separated by a wall which can be easily pierced or torn, so as to allow a contact of the water with the quicklime, said annular chamber containing quicklime the reactivity of which has been previously reduced, as well as an amount of water which is larger than the amount necessary for the hydration reaction of the quicklime. The reactivity of the quicklime has been reduced by calcination at a temperature of more than about 900.degree. C. and preferably comprised between about 1100 and 1400.degree. C. according to the desired reactivity degree. The amount of water contained in the annular chamber surrounding the sealed container is comprised between about 0.75 and 3 parts by weight for 1 part by weight of quicklime.
The water necessary for the exothermic reaction with the quicklime having a reduced reactivity is contained in a sealed annular bag which can be easily torn or pierced, said bag being placed above quicklime grains.
