Abstract: The present invention includes a device and a method of creating and using the device for maintaining the resonant temperature of a fried food product. The present invention is directed to a container cover comprised of two flat material pieces attached to one another to form an envelope-like structure with two or more sealed edges, an open end and a space between the material pieces and the creation of such a container. Additionally, the present invention is directed to a method of extending the duration of the resonant temperature of a fried food product by inserting a container of fried food products into the container cover of the present invention and attaching the container cover to the food container.

Abstract: A bag for carrying items is provided having side panels, a bottom and at least one handle created integrally with at least one of the side panels. At least one opening is formed in one of the side panels opposite from the at least one handle. In the use of a bag created using the teachings of the present invention, the handle portion is fed through the at least one opening in a side panel, causing the closing, or cinching, of the bag such that the contents are better maintained therein. The bag is grasped by the cinched handle and carried or attached to a hook or other means to maintain the bag generally immobilized during transportation. The bag of the present invention provides the added feature of helping to maintain the required temperature of the contents by withstanding the flow of heat by closing the bag as well as aiding in the preventing of spillage.
