Serving container and ring element system

A serving container and ring element system, comprising:

• a serving dish, wherein said serving dish includes a bottom wall, one or more upwardly extending walls, wherein a continuous serving dish lip extends outwardly from an upper edge of said one or more upwardly extending walls, and wherein at least two serving dish handles extend outwardly from said continuous serving dish lip on opposing sides of said serving dish;
• a ring element, wherein said ring element includes a ring element lip having a shape that substantially corresponds to said shape of said serving dish lip, wherein portions of said ring element lip are formed to be positionable around at least a portion of said serving dish lip to provide at least partial frictional engagement between portions of said ring element lip and at least a portion of said serving dish lip, wherein at least two ring element handle portions extend outwardly from said ring element lip, wherein each ring element handle portion has a shape that substantially corresponds to said shape of said serving dish handles, wherein each ring element handle portion includes a handle skirt portion extending downwardly from said handle portion, wherein each handle skirt portion is formed so as to be positionable around at least a portion of a serving dish handle and provide at least partial frictional engagement of said handle skirt portion with at least a portion of said serving dish handle, and wherein when said handle skirt portions are in frictional engagement with at least a portion of each of said serving dish handles, at least a portion of said ring element is secured around and over at least a portion of said serving dish lip, but wherein said ring element does not entirely cover said serving dish;
• and
• a cover element, wherein said cover element includes a top wall, one or more downwardly extending walls, wherein said one or more downwardly extending walls extend downwardly from around an outer periphery of said top wall, wherein a cover element lip extends outwardly from a lower edge of said one or more downwardly extending walls, wherein one or more cover engagement tabs extend from portions of said cover element lip to provide at least partial frictional engagement between said one or more cover engagement tabs and at least a portion of said ring element lip, and wherein at least two cover element handles extend outwardly from said continuous cover element lip on opposing sides of said cover element.
