Portable food warming device

A portable baby bottle warmer, comprising:

• a first receptacle for receiving fuel;
• a second receptacle adapted to receive a baby bottle;
• a fuel pathway between said first and second receptacles, said fuel pathway having a first end in communication with said first receptacle and a second end in thermal communication with said second receptacle;
• and
• timing means for selectively allowing flow of fuel along said fuel pathway from said first receptacle to said second receptacle for a predeterminable period of time,
• wherein when fuel is ignited, the ignited fuel is burned at said second end of said fuel pathway, heats said second receptacle, which in turn heats a container of food disposed therein.

A portable food warmer, comprising:

• a second receptacle adapted to receive food;
• a fuel pathway between said first and second receptacles, said fuel pathway having a first end in communication with said first receptacle and a second end in thermal communication with said second receptacle;
• and
• a timer, coupled to said fuel pathway, selectively allowing flow of fuel along said fuel pathway from said first receptacle to said second receptacle for a predeterminable period of time,
• wherein when fuel is ignited, the ignited fuel is burned at said second end of said fuel pathway, heats said second receptacle, which in turn heats food disposed therein.

A food warmer, comprising:

• an adapter for connection to a power source;
• an electric heating element connected to said power source;
• a receptacle adapted to receive food, said receptacle in thermal communication with said heating element;
• and
• a timer, coupled to said heating element, selectively activating said heating element for a predeterminable period of time,
• wherein when said heating element is activated, said heating element heats said receptacle, which in turn heats food disposed therein, and wherein when said heating element is deactivated, heat is substantially no longer transferred to the food.
