ABSTRACT:
A portable food storage container as heated and cooled by an automobile heater or air conditioner. The storage container includes an outer structure, an inner metal chamber and a layer of insulation between the outer structure and inner metal chamber. The container also includes a cover with a light, fan, one or more battery packs and one or more switches on the inner surface of the cover. The switches are operable from the outside of the container. A conduit such as a flexible hose connects the chamber to an air vent from the automobile's heater and air conditioning system. A valve is also provided to isolate the container from the automobile heating and cooling system. Further, a filter may be installed between the container and heater in order to filter air entering the container.
