A cooked food staging device and method are provided. The device and method are particularly suited for storing breaded, battered or bread food items for extended periods of time without becoming soggy. A heated compartment having a slot has a flexible member covering at least a portion of the slot to restrict airflow and to permit access to the food items contained therein, which may be contained on trays, without the necessity of removing the tray to view and remove selected food items therefrom.

1. A device for holding a plurality of food portions at an elevated temperature comprising: a cabinet defining a volume and enclosing a first compartment above a second compartment, each of said compartments for holding food portions and comprising at least one slot for removing food portions therefrom, having a compartment height and being bounded by an upper heated compartment surface;a heating device located in the cabinet for maintaining each compartment at an elevated temperature; anda first at least generally vertically disposed continuous flexible member covering and extending across at least an upper and substantial portion of the compartment slot of the first compartment, said first flexible member being readily deflectable to permit access to the interior of the first compartment for removing food items therefrom, the first flexible member permitting a limited amount of airflow into and out of the first compartment through a lower portion of the compartment slot of the first compartment said first flexible member forming a first gap between said first flexible member and the bottom of said compartment slot of the first compartment to permit insertion of a tray into the cabinet, wherein the gap is between about 0.5 inches and about 4 inches high, and wherein the compartment height is between about 5 inches and about 7 inches, said first gap allowing airflow into and out of said cabinet, a second at least generally vertically disposed continuous flexible member covering and extending across at least an upper and substantial portion of the compartment slot of the second compartment, said second flexible member being readily deflectable to permit access to the interior of the second compartment for removing food items therefrom, the second flexible member permitting a limited amount of airflow into and out of the second compartment through a lower portion of the compartment slot of the second compartment, said second flexible member forming a second gap between said second flexible member and the bottom of said compartment slot of the second compartment to permit insertion of a tray into the cabinet, wherein the second gap is between about 0.5 inches and about 4 inches high, and wherein the second compartment height is between about 5 inches and about 7 inches, said second gap allowing airflow into and out of said cabinet. 2. The device of claim 1 wherein the first compartment is further bounded by a lower heated surface. 3. The device of claim 2 further comprising at least one raised curb attached to said lower surface. 4. The device of claim 1 further comprising at least one tray for containing the food portions. 5. The device of claim 1 wherein said first gap is approximately two inches. 6. The device of claim 1 wherein said first flexible member comprises an upper portion and a lower portion, and the lower portion has a high air permeability. 7. The device of claim 6 wherein said first flexible member has a high air permeability. 8. The device of claim 1 wherein said first flexible member is at least substantially air impermeable. 9. The device of claim 1 further comprising a main control panel for programming parameters. 10. The device of claim 9 wherein said device is a main device and further comprising at least one satellite device connected to said main device wherein said satellite device comprises: a cabinet defining a volume and enclosing at least one compartment for holding the food portions, said compartment comprising at least one slot for removing food portions therefrom, having a compartment height and being bounded by an upper heated compartment surface;a heating device located in the cabinet for maintaining the compartment at an elevated temperature; andan at least generally vertically disposed continuous flexible member covering at least an upper and substantial portion of the compartment slot, said flexible member being readily deflectable to permit access to the interior of the compartment for removing food items therefrom, the flexible member permitting a limited amount of airflow into and out of the compartment through a lower portion of the compartment slot; wherein said satellite device is controlled by said main control panel, said flexible member forming a gap between said flexible member and the bottom of said compartment slot to permit insertion of a tray into the cabinet, wherein the gap is between about 0.5 inches and 4 inches high, and wherein the compartment height is between about 5 inches and about 7 inches. 11. The device of claim 1 wherein the first flexible member comprises a sheet of PTFE. 12. The device of claim 1 wherein the first flexible member has a thickness in the range of from 0.004 to 0.010 inches. 13. The device of claim 1 wherein the first flexible member is transparent. 14. The device of claim 11 wherein the first flexible member is air permeable. 15. The device of claim 14 wherein the first flexible member comprises a plurality of perforations to provide the air permeability. 16. The device of claim 6 wherein the first flexible member comprises a plurality of perforations to provide the air permeability. 17. The device of claim 4 wherein the tray has an open top and the first flexible member extends within approximately 2 inches below the open top when the tray is in the compartment. 18. The device of claim 1 wherein the exterior of the cabinet comprises the flexible member.
