A food treatment cabinet having a frame/housing defining a food treatment space. First structure is provided for at least one of heating, cooling, and adding moisture to air within the food treatment space. The frame/housing has a first wall with a first opening therethrough to selectively permit introduction of food into the food treatment space and withdrawal of food from the food treatment space.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In one form of the invention, a food treatment cabinet is provided having a frame/housing defining a food treatment space.
First structure is provided for at least one of heating, cooling, and adding moisture to air within the food treatment space.
The frame/housing has a first wall with a first opening therethrough to selectively permit introduction of food into the food treatment space and withdrawal of food from the food treatment space.
A first fin projects away from the first wall above at least part of the first opening to inhibit heat transfer between the food treatment space and the atmosphere externally of the food treatment space.
In one form, the fin projects away from the first frame/housing wall between one and four inches and has a thickness in a vertical direction that is on the order of 11/2-21/2 inches.
The fin may be made from plastic material, such as that sold under the trademark DELRIN.
TM.
.
In one form, the first frame/housing opening has a width and the first fin extends across substantially the entire width of the first frame/housing opening.
The cabinet may be constructed with no cover on the frame/housing that blocks the first frame/housing opening so that the first frame/housing opening at all times defmes an unobstructed path to the food treatment space.
In one form, the frame/housing defmes a first, downwardly facing surface and a second, upwardly facing surface bounding a first subspace within the food treatment space.
The first structure, previously mentioned, at least one of heats and cools one, and preferably each, of the first and second surfaces.
The invention also contemplates a container for food in combination with the food treatment cabinet.
The container is repositionable relative to the frame/housing selectively between a first position wherein food in the container is situated in the food treatment space between the first and second surfaces and a second position wherein the container is situated so that food can be placed in and removed from the container without interference from the first and second surfaces
