ABSTRACT:
A food container having provision for storing a freezable chilling medium and having a valve for venting steam. The food container is divided into a food storage chamber and a chilling chamber for holding the chilled medium. These chambers are separated by a wall having an opening at the top enabling fluid communication between these chambers. The container is closed by a removable lid. A steam relief valve is disposed in the lid, sunken into a depression formed in the lid, so that the valve body is substantially flush with the lid. A handle in the form of ears projects from the valve for easy grasping. The valve is opened for microwave cooking of stored food, and closed for chilled storage. When heating, the chilled medium is removed. Optionally, water is placed in the empty chilling chamber, and steam generated upon heating migrates into the food storage chamber, thereby steaming the food.
