Claims20
A food holder for holding a food item in an upright position, the food holder comprising:
- a first inclined sidewall;
- a second inclined sidewall separated from the first sidewall by a mostly flat base portion, wherein the first sidewall extends at an outward incline from a first side of the base portion to a first peak and the second sidewall extends at an outward incline from a second opposing side of the base portion to a second peak;
- a third inclined sidewall, wherein the third inclined sidewall intersects with an uppermost portion of the first sidewall the intersection forming the first peak, and extends from the first peak downward at an outward angle;
- a fourth inclined sidewall, wherein the fourth inclined sidewall intersects with an uppermost portion of the second sidewall the intersection forming the second peak, and extends from the second peak downward at an outward angle;
- and
- wherein the inclined sidewalls include a plurality of channels configured to dissipate heat and humidity from the food item, and wherein an area formed underneath the first sidewall and the third sidewall and underneath the second sidewall and the fourth sidewall are substantially hollow and configured to nestle at least partially with another food holder.

A stackable food holder for holding a food item in an upright position, the food holder comprising:
- a peripheral edge;
- a first portion having a mostly triangular-shaped cross section including a first inclined sidewall;
- a second portion have a mostly triangular-shaped cross section including a second inclined sidewall;
- a mostly flat base portion joining the first and second portions at the first and second inclined sidewalls, wherein the first and second inclined sidewalls are inclined outwardly from the base portion;
- a plurality of channels configured to dissipate heat and humidity from the food item, the plurality of channels recessed from a surface of the first and second inclined sidewalls and the base portion;
- and
- wherein the first and second portions each include a rounded top having an undulating surface formed by the channels, wherein the undulating surface of the first portion includes a first notch configured to mate with an inner portion of a notch of another food holder to create an interference fit between multiple food holders, and wherein the second portion includes a second notch, and further wherein the first notch and the second notch are associated with a single channel of the plurality of channels, the single channel extending from the first notch of the first portion to the base portion to the second notch of the second portion.
