<p>Thermally insulated container for cooking, serving, and storing of foods and beverages, particularly adapted for use in microwave cooking units. A double-walled vessel is provided, including an outer jacket (1) and a removable inner liner (2) both having substantially similar shapes. The liner is supported by a grooved flange (4) extending outward from its upper rim which rests on the upper rim of the outer container. The inner and outer walls are separated by a narrow gap (3) forming an enclosed air cavity. The flange groove (7) and rim are designed to allow air to escape from the cavity to relieve the pressure caused by hot foods or beverages in the vessel, and to resist air flow into the cavity as the vessel cools. A raised lid (9) is further provided, fitting over the inner liner vessel, and having a flat top and a recessed handle (12), to allow several vessels to be stacked on each other for cooking or storing. </p> |
