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.
