Carlisle FoodService Products Insulated Food Pan Carrier and Warmer, Front-Loading with Handles, Holds 5 Full or 10 Half 2.5" Pans (Sold Separately) with Rugged PE Shell and PU Insulation, Black

it is very durable easy to keep clean and keeps the food, hot and cold. If preferred I will recommend this five star rating.

Couldn't find a company close by that rented insulated food containers, so checked on Amazon to see how much they cost. Came across this known brand and it seemed quite reasonable. Purchased a couple of these for our group as there are many activities throughout the year where food spoilage/safety can be an issue. These kept food nice and warm at our recent event, 3-4 hours between food delivery and serving time.one small issue that's not a huge deal is that the rubber gasket that makes the seal between the door and body of the unit seemed generic and custom made for the seal. There weren't even any instructions with the unit, but it didn't matter, it still worked.

I bought this for my mother because she takes large amounts of food to dinners. Absolutely wonder. I have seen caterers use it and thought it would be perfect for her. She loves it. The food stays nice and hot and clean up is a breeze. It's large enough to hold several pans of food.

The food carrier kept our food hot for up to 5 hours and we are very satisfied with our purchase. I definitely recommend it to the persons in the food industry. The carrier is also easy to clean and very sturdy. It can be very heavy to move around and will require some manpower.

I ordered one of these to handle catering jobs and it works as it should. Solid pans certainly work best and does fit up to 5 shallow long pans. Disposable aluminum pans are a little more sensitive just because of the pans are weaker and can potentially fall inside... but that's just a pan issue, not this product issue. I did buy a second one of these so I can stack 2 together... only issue was that the molding may be slightly different... one will fit on top of the other, but not vice versa. Not really a big deal, but just have to remember which one has to be on the bottom. There was some shipping damage on the second one, but Amazon helped handle that (if didn't change functionality, so worked through a discount). They are working great already.

fantastic carrier!! I have a small catering business on the side, and needed a way to transport my hot dishes. I had been looking at Cambro, but my budget didn't allow such an expense. While looking for a budget friendly option, I came across this carrier. I was very happy to see the quality of this carrier when it arrived. It's not overly heavy, but good quality. Plenty of space to hold my hot foods (so far it's held 150 servings each of pork, chicken, potatoes with room to spare!) I was even more impressed when we had a big job (over 2 hours away) and my food stayed hot! Some liquid even leaked in the carrier, but didn't seap out! I have stored 1/2 size aluminum trays and full size aluminum trays with no issue. And it holds quite a lot! Overall, very impressed, and looking forward to purchasing another one later for my cold dishes.

The list goes on but here is a small list of problems we had with this. Door is warped causing to not seal all the way around just like the first one I ordered, I have gotten two now and both are not usable for spending almost 300 dollars I would expect the QA team if there is one to at least do a light test on the seal. The description is a joke and you should not have put made in the USA cause we know that’s a lie. I am beyond disappointed in this product. To spend almost 300 dollars I would have at least like to use the product once and it won’t fit standard pans at all. And the second one we ordered came in looking worse than the first one with bent over hinges I don’t leave reviews at all but this was upsetting if I could put zero stars I would.

I initially tried this product when cooking on a small scale...(one pork butt -or- one brisket). When there isn't a lot of food at service temperature to fill it, it is difficult to maintain 140F+. When used to park about eight pork butts at 140F...it worked gloriously. Verified with a digital thermometer I was able to hot hold pork butts and transfer to a serving line with no problems. When used with hot food in all pans it is terrific.The door comes off easily for cleaning. the handles are nice for two-person lifts into a truck or onto a wagon. There are slots on the sides to park a various number of service trays.Very nice.
