Abstract: The Time Saver is a kitchen apparatus comprised of various compartments working in conjunction to thoroughly clean raw meat before cooking. The top compartment is temperature-controlled via heating elements installed on both sides. The central compartment will be similar in appearance and function to a rotisserie oven with a glass door. The central compartment has holes at the bottom for draining into the third compartment and will also contain a basket that holds the raw meat and small brush for extra cleaning. The third and final compartment receives the contaminated water from the meat washing process. The dirty water will be drained via a hose attached to the device. All parts of the device are intended to be washable and or dishwasher safe, allowing for multiple uses. Exact size, measurement, construction, and design specifications may vary upon manufacturing.

Abstract: The Lunch Buddy is a convenient and practical container for packing hot and cold food for lunches and meals on-the-go. The device is comprised of two or more containers with hooks and or velcro mechanisms on one side. The containers may vary in shape and size; however, the containers sit flush against one another when connected together. The separate containers accommodate different types of hot and cold foods, enabling the containers to be reheated directly without affecting another type of food. Each compartment can have its own individual lid or the entire unit may have one main lid that fits over the compartments. Users can place any type of food in the containers, connect them together via the hooks or Velcro, and place the fully-secure container in a backpack, bag, or other carrying device. The Lunch Buddy can be constructed using food safe plastic, glass, and other suitable materials. The containers may be available in numerous sizes and colors, each suited to accommodate user needs and preferences.
