ABSTRACT:
An improved heat retaining foodservice system including a heat retaining food cover (10), food container (310) and underbase (210), each including a heat storage system comprised of a sealed chamber therewithin, said chamber containing a layer of non-metallic heat storing material, such as micro crystalline wax enclosed by a layer of film for keeping food warmer for longer periods of time. Preferably, the food cover, container and underbase are each constructed of high-temperature stable polymeric material which is transparent to microwave radiation to facilitate heating of the heat storing material by use of a microwave oven, as well as by a conventional convection or radiant heat type oven.
