Abstract

A system (10) is provided for storing, heating, and packaging food products. The system (10) includes a package (14) for a food product (12) and an oven (16) for the food product. The system manipulates the package from storage, to heating in a heating step, to delivery to a consumer. During the heating step, the package (14) is opened and closed thereafter, for delivery in a closed state. The system preferably includes a refrigerated storage container adjacent the oven(16), for storing multiple packages of food product in a cool, chilled or frozen state.
