Abstract
A passive thermally stabilizing container assembly (100) for keeping food cool or warm. The assembly (100) comprises an outer, thermally-insulating shell (110) and an inner, thermally-conductive shell (120) nested into and possibly affixed to the outer shell (110). The inner shell (120) has a recessed volume (125) at a bottom of the inner shell (120). A removable thermal disk (130) is provided and is configured to rest within the recessed volume (125) of the inner shell (120). The thermal disk (130) comprises a chillable, freezcable, heatable, or activatable material which may be permanently encapsulated within a casing. The container assembly (100) also includes a removable food container (140) capable of being nested into the inner shell (120). Optionally, a removable lid (150) is also provided which fits onto the food container (140).
