Abstract

A system for electrically re- heating food enables the food to be heated to a first temperature range for a predetermined time period and thereafter maintains the food at a second, lower temperature range. The system includes a mobile cart having its own rechargeable power pack that may by utilized to propel the cart. The cart has separate bays 1, 2 each having a tier or racks for carrying individual food serving trays. Each tray has one or more thermally isolated heat transfer devices which are selectively energized when the tray is in place on a rack in the cart. The trays are constructed to carry conventionally styled, removable dishes, bowls, cups, etc., that may be either disposable or reusable. Preferably, each tray has a pair of heaters referred to herein as plate and bowl heaters and adapted to be operated by control means. The manually selected heaters associated with trays in all bays are operated for a predetermined period of time of, for example, 25 minutes, to re-heat the food from a frozen or at least cold state to a temperature of the order of 170 DEG F.-180 DEG F. Thereafter, the heaters in predetermined bays are operated cyclically to hold the food at the desired temperature range. <IMAGE>
