Apparatus and method for heated food delivery

A delivery apparatus assembly comprising:

• (a) container for holding an article to be delivered and a heater, the container comprising a housing forming an interior area and an opening, the opening being provided with a size sufficient to allow movement of the article from outside the container to within the interior area;
• (b) the heater being constructed and arranged for placement within the interior area and being provided for heating the article the heater comprising:
• (i) electrically conductive coil for providing an electric current when exposed to a magnetic field;
• and
• (ii) electrical resistance heating element for generating heat, the electrical resistance heating element being provided in electrical connectivity with the electrically conductive coil;
• and
• (c) induction range comprising a power cord for receipt of electrical energy and a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field from the electrical energy.

A heater for heating an article, the heater comprising:

• (a) electrically conductive coil for providing an electric current when exposed to a magnetic field;
• (b) electrical resistance heating element for generating heat, the electrical resistance heating element being provided in electrical connectivity with the electrically conductive coil;
• and
• (c) heat sink for storing heat generated by the electrical resistance heating element;
• and
• (d) binder for holding the electrically conductive coil, the electrical resistance heating element, and the heat sink together.
