ABSTRACT:
A conveniently stackable, storable, transportable and displayable food service device utilizing temperature maintaining refrigerant units to provide a relatively convenient and inexpensive method of refrigerating, transporting and serving food is provided. The temperature maintaining refrigerant units are disposed within a refrigerant cavity configured in a base of the device in interfitted puzzle-like fashion. The refrigerant units are interchangeable and may be easily stored and replaced after their temperature maintaining capacity has been exhausted. A food tray is designed to removably interfit with the base of the device such that the food surface of the tray is supported in spaced relationship above the refrigerant units when the food tray and base are in nested relationship. A cover is provided to fit in supporting relationship with the food tray. The cover includes a recess portion to nestingly accept the exterior of the base to elevate the base and food tray for display and service purposes. The cover also receives the base of another like container so that a stack of refrigerated devices may be easily transported and/or stored. The cover also includes a channel to prevent condensation from dripping onto and spoiling the food servings supported on the tray.
