Precooked dishes loaded in a refrigerated enclosure (4) of a transport cart (1) for their transport toward a place of consumption, are selectively restored in temperature. The refrigerated cooked dishes which must be restored in temperature are, before being loaded in a single enclosure (4), disposed with the dishes not requiring restoration of temperature, on a same tray (6) common to all the dishes constituting an individual meal. Each tray is disposed directly on a heating plate inside the single enclosure (4) of said refrigerated transport cart, and the restoration of temperature of only the first-mentioned dish or dishes is effected by heat transfer through a thermally conductive region of the common tray (6) underlying only the first-mentioned dish or dishes.

[ We claim:] [1.] Tray for receiving precooked dishes, comprising first and second portions integral with each other, said first portion (14) constituting a good heat conductor and defining a tray region to be heated that is constructed and arranged to be disposed directly on a heating plate (13) so as to ensure heat transfer from the heating plate through said region toward a dish previously disposed on this region to be reheated, said second portion (15) constituting a poor heat conductor and being insulated from said first portion (14), said second portion being constructed and arranged to support refrigerated cooked dishes not requiring temperature restoration, wherein said good heat conductor of said first portion comprises particles having a relatively high thermal conductivity embedded in a material having a relatively low thermal conductivity, and wherein said particles comprise metallic particles which form an intermediate layer within the relatively low thermal conductivity material.
