<p>A multi-partition and multiple portion food storage and service apparatus for storing a plurality of servings of different types of foods. Each type of food is maintained in a seperate insulated environment. The apparatus has a tray portion (5) with a plurality of tray cavities (60) and a cover portion (3) with a corresponding plurality of cover cavities (30). Tray portion (5) and cover portion (3) are formed of insulating material. Bowls (20, 22, 24) are removably disposable in any of the tray cavities. Each cavity (60) can hold one or more bowls. Tray and cover are insulating bowls disposed in one of the cavities from those in other cavities. Apart from bowls (22, 24) of normal depth there are fractional depth bowls (20) disposable in one of the full depth bowls (22, 24) such that the bottom of the partial depth bowl is disposed substantially above the bottom of the full depth bowl. Thus, a serving portion may be contained in one full depth bowl (22) and a fractional depth bowl (24) containing a further portion may be stacked within the full depth bowl with its bottom out of contact of the food contained in the full depth bowl. The tray portions (5) per se and the lids (26, 28) per se can be stacked. Small distances are maintained between bowls and between the lids such that they can be dried while stacked.</p> |
