Abstract: A food heating and/or cooling device is provided. The device has a housing with a food heating-cooling region and an opening that provides access to the heating-cooling region. An induction heating element and a cooling device is contained within the housing. A food container dimensioned to fit through the opening and within the food heating-cooling region is included, the food container having an electrically conductive element that can be heated by the induction heating element contained within the housing. Furthermore, the cooling device is operable to cool the food when it is placed within the food heating-cooling region. As such, food that is located on or within the food container and placed within the food heating-cooling region can be heated and/or cooled.
