A container for holding a beverage and other items to be heated, comprising: an upper compartment having an open top end for receiving the beverage therein and including a peripheral wall and a lower wall, at least a portion of the lower wall including a thermal transfer section that is more thermally conductive than the peripheral wall of the upper compartment; and a lower compartment selectively fixed with the lower wall of the upper compartment and having a peripheral wall and a base that are both less thermally conductive than the thermal transfer section; whereby with the lower compartment detached from the upper compartment, the items to be heated may be placed into the lower compartment on tracks and the lower compartment fixed with the upper compartment, such that a heated beverage retained in the upper compartment transfers heat through the thermal transfer section to the items in the lower compartment, said tracks are raised areas of the base of the lower compartment.
