"I love this insulated food pan carrier. It helps out so much now when I have events to cater that tend to be a bit further out than normal. Food is still hot and fresh and not overcooked. Very sturdy but can be a bit heavy before loading food so imagine afterwards. Make sure you ..."
To fit your unique menu, this pan carrier holds up to 5 full size, 2 1/2" deep food pans and can accommodate various combinations of full, 1/2, and 1/3 size pans. These pans can be 2 1/2", 4", or even 6" deep. Most types of pans fit as well, letting you use whatever best suits your business; use foil, plastic, or stainless steel pans to deliver food to your destination.
7 Hour Temperature Retention
Because the carrier is made with polyurethane foam insulation, it offers superior temperature retention and maintains hot or cold food temperatures for up to 7 hours. For use with cold dishes, pre-chill the unit with its door open in a walk-in refrigerator or freezer. For pre-heating the unit, place a hotel pan of hot water into the unit, and close the door for 20 minutes prior to loading your hot dishes.
Built to Last
This insulated pan carrier features a rugged, polyethylene exterior and withstands constant wear and tear from use, transport, and exposure to high heat. It includes plastic latches that securely lock the door to retain temperature. It also includes steel reinforced plate hinges to resist breakage and to ensure longevity. The door even extends to a full 270 degrees for easy access.
Easy to Transport and Store
For convenient transport, the unit features molded-in handles that are both durable and ergonomic. Not only does this design make it easy to carry, it allows the carrier to stack with similar Carlisle and Cambro carriers and simplify storage.
I bought this because I am working to build a business, and the name and budget fit me. Being gone with my regular job a lot I have only had one chance to use it, so I can't account for the plastic clips and their integrity. However, I cooked up a bunch of bbq and used it to hold for people to come pick up orders. When I opened the door, I could feel the radiant heat coming out. I took the butt inside, peeled the foil, and it was still steaming from the heat. That in my book awards it 5 stars for now. As for side dishes, that still remains to be seen, but I have an upcoming gig in November 2021. I'll be ordering more before then, and putting them to the test. Bang for the buck wins here for me.

The product was a great addition to our company. Good for traveling or in house use. The food stayed warm for hours. The easy access of the wide open door is simply great.

Units keep food warm for a long period of time. They are $$ but worth it as long as you take care of them. Make sure to wipe condensation out after use, wipe down seals and avoid food build up. Biggest thing to note is the way the outside looks. They will fade overtime but you can decrease this by making sure the outside is food/oil/grease clean and we also like to use regular plastic car shine to keep them protected and clean.

This insulated food pan carrier is easy to grip and carry. The material does not allow for slipping, even if food is hot. Made transporting hot or cold food a breeze.
These are great. We run 9 of them for our business. I love that there are easy to replace parts. We use then constantly and have had to replace a few latches. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The food pan carrier seems well built and keeps food warm. The biggest issues are the closing clips and the seal. Either the closing clips aren't strong enough or the seal doesn't seal very well because if you happen to spill anything inside, it will leak out. Perhaps the clips can be replaced with something stronger? If you are transporting any sort of liquid, you might want to look elsewhere.

Honestly not as impressed as I hoped to be. We cater all over town and I have been looking for a new container. I liked that it could easily be wiped out and cleaned as we often have grease or beans that spill out of pans (no matter how well we cater wrap). It is definitely pretty heavy once filled, ok that was expected, we used 2 of us to lift it. It did hold the food warm but not as warm as some of my other bags. They did recommend putting hot water or ice in prior to loading the container, but we often don't have time for that step. My biggest complaint is the clips to close. One broke off within 3 uses and the other within 5. Why build a nice container and put cheap plastic chips on it? I will look for replacement metal ones (as Read More
Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry your CaterGator Black Front Loading Insulated Food Pan Carrier - 5 Pan Capacity clips did not meet your expectations. Action has been taken to remedy this. Please reach out to our Customer Solutions team if you have any questions!
This is a great budget option to the much higher priced cambros out there. We purchased one for our food truck and catering business. We will definitely be purchasing several more! Holds hot and cold foods amazingly!
Travel in style efficiently, and inexpensively. This insulated food pan carrier has never let us down, Has always maintained proper temperature, for both cold and hot food items.
I love this insulated food pan carrier. It helps out so much now when I have events to cater that tend to be a bit further out than normal. Food is still hot and fresh and not overcooked. Very sturdy but can be a bit heavy before loading food so imagine afterwards. Make sure you have someone around to help carry this thing.
The CaterGator insulated pan carrier is a nice addition to your off-site catering event. Only issue is they are a little cumbersome to lift and is hard to clean the interior.
