Portable Food Storage Apparatus Utilizing Available On-Site Battery Power for Heating Food

A portable food storage apparatus comprising:

• a base member having sidewalls and a recessed portion defined in a central area;
• a heating element disposed upon the recessed portion of the base member, the heating element designed to exhibit an elevated temperature in response to an electrical power applied thereto;
• a socket configuration configured to accept attachment of an external rechargeable high-voltage battery, the socket configuration connected to the heating element to provide the high-voltage electrical power for raising its temperature;
• a power switch for connecting the socket configuration to the heating element as controlled by a user;
• and
• a removable food container disposed over the heating element, where in response to the activation of the power switch by the user, the high power voltage passing through the socket configuration is received by the heating element and used to generate thermal energy sufficient to raise the temperature of the removable food container.
