Abstract: A transport box, in particular for partially prepared meals and food, includes a lower part having a receiving space limited by lateral walls and at least one base. The receiving space can be sealed by a cover. The cover has a coolant space for receiving a coolant. In addition, the lower part (11) has two receiving spaces. The receiving spaces can be sealed by a respective cover. The covers can be arranged in two cover positions sealing the receiving space. The cover positions differ in terms of a cooling effect that can be achieved by the coolant, such that the transport box offers at least two different options for temperature control via the selection of the cover positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transport box (1), in particular for partially prepared meals and food, comprising a lower part (11) having a receiving space (2) limited by lateral walls (12) and at least one base (22). The receiving space (2) can be sealed by a cover (3). The cover (3) has a coolant space (33) for receiving a coolant (200). In addition, the lower part (11) has two receiving spaces (2). The receiving spaces (2) can be sealed by a respective cover (3). The covers (3) can be arranged in two cover positions (13, 23) sealing the receiving space (2). The cover positions (13, 23) differ in terms of a cooling effect that can be achieved by means of the coolant (200), such that the transport box (11) offers at least two different options for temperature control via the selection of the cover positions (13, 23).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and system for preparing dishes, comprising a cooking appliance, wherein an operating program is started and a supply of available dishes is advised by means of a device. At least one dish is selected and at least one selected dish is placed in the cooking appliance and data relating to the selected dishes is transferred to the control element of the cooking appliance and a preparation program is carried out.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dishware unit for packaging, transporting, and/or serving meals and to a method for sealing at least partially prepared meals, comprising a body which is covered with a film. An adhesive is introduced between the film and the body in an adhesive region in order to seal the dishware unit. The film and the dishware unit have such a degree of surface tension that the adhesive at least largely adheres to the film when the film is removed, wherein the surface tension in the adhesive region in the film is greater than the surface tension in the adhesive region in the body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for sealing partly prepared meals (30), wherein the meals (30) are positioned on a dish unit (1) and covered with a film (15). An interspace (16) between the dish unit (1) that is provided with a meal (30) and between the film (15) is partly evacuated. The sealing machine (200) for sealing a partly prepared meal (30) positioned on a dish unit (1) comprises a film feed (201) in order to feed a film (15) to the dish unit (1), and a suction apparatus (202) in order to evacuate an interspace (16) between the dish unit (1) provided with a meal (30) and between the film (15). Using the sealing machine (200), the interspace (16) between the dish unit (1) provided with a meal (30) and between the film (15) is partly evacuated.
