Abstract:
1. A heating device, comprising: a base having at least a first well and a second well; a heating system associated with the wells and configured for heating a portion of a first container if the first container is positioned in the first well and the heating system therefor is initiated, and configured for heating a portion of a second container if the second container is positioned in the second well and the heating system therefor is initiated; both the first and second well having an upper opening for permitting insertion of a container therein, and both the first and second well having a frontal opening along their respective well side for permitting heated material in a container to be dispensed from the container through the respective well side while a portion of the container is being heated in the well, if the container is so positioned and is being heated; wherein if a container is so positioned in a well there is a temperature sensor associated with that well that extends into that container in mating engagement where the temperature sensor is in contact with a flowable material in that container and is configured for monitoring temperature of the flowable material in that container in that well, wherein the temperature sensor is thereby mounted to project from a bottom portion of a well into a head portion of a container, wherein the temperature sensor can be inserted into that container in contact with the flowable material by placing that container in that well and removed from the container by lifting the container out from that well.
