Abstract:
A device (10) for heating a food item therein is provided, which includes a spout disposed on the exterior of the device (10) through which a food item can be introduced into and dispensed from the device (10). The spout (24) is selectively covered by a cover (32) when in use to hold the food item within the device (10) while being heated, and the cover (32) can be removed to enable a food container to be engaged with the spout (24) such that the food item can be dispensed from the device (10) into the food container. Additionally, the device (10) can include a number of compartments (56, 58) within the device (10), one of which can be accessed utilizing a reclosable seal (68) on the device (10) to position a second food item for heating within the device (10). The volume of the interior space of the device (10) is formed to urge the food item positioned therein to completely surround a temperature- changing element (16) positioned within the device (10), such that the entire element (16) is insulated by the food item from the exterior of the device (10) when heating or cooling the food item.
