Abstract
A device for storing food products at hot temperature, having an outer housing, an inner housing at least partially contained inside the outer housing, and a fan chamber defined within the inner housing, the fan chamber having at least one air inlet and outlet. A fan and a heating element are located inside the fan chamber. A food tray defines a space for holding the food products therein. A first air flow path for guiding a first air flow is defined from outside of the outer housing to the air inlet of the fan chamber, the first flow path extending between the outer housing and the inner housing, and a second air flow path for guiding a second air flow is defined from the air outlet of the fan chamber to the space inside the food tray, and the heating element is located in the second air flow path.
