Abstract

See full text

A food server for simultaneously cold storing foods to be served hot and foods to be served cold, and for heating the foods to be served hot while keeping cold the foods to be served cold. The server comprises a cabinet having a first insulated food storage compartment for cold storing foods to be served hot and a second insulated food storage compartment, adjacent the first compartment, for cold storing foods to be served cold. The server also includes a mechanism for refrigerating the first compartment, a mechanism for refrigerating the second compartment, a mechanism for heating the first compartment, and a control mechanism for selectively activating and deactivating the mechanisms for heating and refrigerating the first compartment. Because of the control mechanism, the first compartment selectively cools or heats the first compartment depending on whether cold storing or heating of foods stored in the first compartment is desired, so that foods placed in the first compartment are refrigerated for a predetermined duration and then heated without being removed from the first compartment and foods stored in the second compartment are refrigerated while in the second compartment.
