Abstract: An oven for heating food is disclosed. The oven has at least one heating compartment including an open front or an open top in open communication with a surrounding environment outside the oven. A food support may be provided for supporting food in the heating compartment. Gas flow openings may be provided for introducing heated gas into the heating compartment for heating the food.

Abstract: A food and beverage storage and serving vessel includes an inner container, an outer container, and a removable lid. The outer container has a hollow chamber that extends through a bottom wall and a side wall of the outer container. The chamber is filled with a phase change material that stays cold for an extended period of time when chilled, or stays hot for an extended period of time when heated. The inner container is removably assembled into the outer container, where surface contact between the inner container and outer container transfers the cold/heat of the phase change material to a food or beverage contained in the inner container.
