Abstract: A portable container wherein and food may be heated by a built-in and manually powered heating system without removal of the food from the container. Unlike typical containers, the device incorporates reheats the contents using human-powered energy. The device is composed of a sealable food containment chamber, a power generator, a heating element and electronics to minimize overheating of the contents. Many portable insulated food containers on the market are capable of storing food for short time periods within a specific range of temperatures. The goal is to preserve the temperature as close to the original containment temperature as possible. If food is contained longer than the rated time, or the container is opened and closed frequently, the food temperature degrades rapidly. The device addresses this problem because the food may be reheated within the existing chamber without removing it.
