CaterGator Brown Front Loading Insulated Food Pan Carrier - 5 Full-Size Pan Max Capacity

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.

It was built solid, but the door seal was not tight enough, there are obvious gaps between gasket and the door frame

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.

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 is a good product except for where the door seals to the box it did not seal all the way and leaked some spilled food.

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

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.

This product is amazing! A friend of mind of mind told me that it was a must have an order to start my catering business and I’m sooo glad I did. It’s keeps the food warm for hours. My customer are happy and so am I.

This CaterGator Black Front Loading Insulated Food Pan Carrier is a must in your catering or food delivery business. It seems indestructible and it's very easy to clean.

Sturdy construction. Door seal is very good. Handles seem like they can handle the job. Cleans up very easily with soap, water, and a scrubbie. Love that it comes in other colors.

Very nice insulated box. Can be used to transport food to simply to hold as a warming unit. I plan to order a couple more of these

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.

I never write reviews, but I have to today. My review is not about the product because a replacement product is being shipped to me which I have not received yet. My review is about the person I chatted with, Brittany R, I received the CaterGator Front Loading Insulated food carrier a couple days ago via overnight shipping (at a substantial extra cost, but it was important that I had it on time). The front door was bowed out 3/8" which meant the cooler is not airtight. That defeats the entire purpose of the food carrier. I wrote to Brittany via their online chat early on the Sunday morning of memorial day weekend. I explained the problem and she asked me to send her some photos. She immediately responded that she could see that the cooler was defective and placed a new order for me with the same overnight shipping Read More

The best on the market- a must have for caterers. Keeps food hot for hours, easy stings, easy clean up. We love these.

These CaterGator's do a terrific job keep food hot over a number of hours. I've used them at festivals and they are my go to for portable food safe temperatures. The price is right too!

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!

We've tried a few different brands of catering containers and 100% these are the best. They have a gasket seal to help keep the food warm. The hinges are replaceable when they break. They hold 5 pans instead of 4 which is a major plus. They are also insulated.

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.
