System for transporting hot food

Abstract

A system for addition to a box for transporting hot food includes a sheet of paper having a length equal to at least two times the length of an interior of the box, and having a width greater than the width of the interior of the box, the sheet further including a fold in the sheet, wherein the fold defines a corresponding flap to be folded on top of the food, such that when food is placed on the sheet, the sheet is folded and placed within the interior of the box, the sheet completely covers the food and the sheet fits securely within the interior of the box, a first food-safe coating on the sheet with heat reflecting characteristics, a second food-safe coating on the sheet with oil-resistant characteristics and heat reflecting characteristics, and wherein the sheet is configured for being removably positioned within the interior of the box.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A system for addition to a box for transporting hot food, the system comprising:
 a) a sheet of paper having a length equal to at least two times the length of an interior of the box, and having a width greater than the width of the interior of the box;   b) the sheet further including a fold in the sheet, wherein the fold defines a corresponding flap being a portion of the sheet configured to be folded on top of the food;   c) such that when food is placed on the sheet, the sheet is folded according to the fold defined in the sheet, and the sheet is placed within the interior of the box, the sheet completely covers the food and the sheet fits securely within the interior of the box;   d) a first food-safe coating on the sheet, wherein said first coating has heat reflecting characteristics;   e) a second food-safe coating on the sheet, wherein said second coating has oil-resistant characteristics and heat reflecting characteristics; and   f) wherein the sheet is configured for being removably positioned within the interior of the box, such that the food rests within the sheet.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first food-safe coating spans an entirety of a surface of the sheet. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the first food-safe coating has non-stick characteristics. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the second food-safe coating spans an entirety of the surface of the sheet. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the second food-safe coating has non-stick characteristics. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein a top surface of the sheet includes printed material configured for advertising. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein a bottom surface of the sheet includes printed material configured for advertising. 
     
     
         8 . A system for addition to a box for transporting hot food, the system comprising:
 a) a sheet of paper having a length equal to at least two times the length of an interior of the box, and having a width greater than the width of the interior of the box;   b) the sheet further including a fold in the sheet, wherein the fold defines a top portion of the sheet and a bottom portion of the sheet, wherein the top portion is configured to be folded on top of the food;   c) such that when the sheet is folded according to the fold, and the sheet is placed securely within the interior of the box, food is placed on the bottom portion, the top portion is folded on top of the food, and edges of the bottom portion extend upwards along sides of the interior of the box, such that the sheet completely covers the food;   d) a first food-safe coating on the sheet, wherein said first coating has heat reflecting characteristics;   e) a second food-safe coating on the sheet, wherein said second coating has oil-resistant characteristics and heat reflecting characteristics; and   f) wherein the sheet is configured for being removably positioned within the interior of the box, such that the food rests within the sheet.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the first food-safe coating spans an entirety of a surface of the sheet. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the first food-safe coating has non-stick characteristics. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the second food-safe coating spans an entirety of the surface of the sheet. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the second food-safe coating has non-stick characteristics. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein a top surface of the sheet includes printed material configured for advertising. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein a bottom surface of the sheet includes printed material configured for advertising.
