My aging Father is finding it harder to cook for himself. I live a few
blocks away and take him meals sometimes. I'd like to find something handy
to take his meals in. Anyone know of any kind of sectioned tray or dish with
a cover that could be used to transport meals and eat off of also?
Thanks for any suggestions...
Jerry

Maybe you could contact your local Meals on Wheels and ask how they do it?

How fancy do you want to get? IIRC, Tupperware makes a sectioned platter
with a snap on cover. Has a vent for when you reheat in the microwave.

Glad has smaller containers with two sections and a lid. I use them for
lunches.

Thanks Damsel and Edwin. Appreciate the suggestions.

Geeze Jerry. Ya got me all excited with the subject! I thought it was
gonna be pic of Cathrine Bell or someone in a french maid uniform! ;-)

The two above are good ones. You may also want to consider checking
out a resteraunt supply house if you have one locally and see what
they have.

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little
bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards...

Dams, I have a neighbor who gets Meals on Wheels delivered and it's all
frozen TV dinner style now! Nothing comes hot! It's all in black plastic
separated containers, shrink wrapped - just like any Healthy Choice frozen
entree. Nuke it and it's dinner.

Haven't got one, but i've heard good things about these Pyrex Portable
sets. Good picture at:

I think you can pretty well buy them anywhere you buy Pyrex or
Corningware products.
