Cambro Insulated Food Pan Carrier - Hotbox and Food Warmer for Catering & Transport - Front Load UPC300 Series (Black)

Product was awesome at keeping food hot for quite some time. However, the Cambro is heavy enough when it’s empty, when it’s full it’s impossible to manage without having food all over the place. Unfortunately, I had a little mess on my hands (and kitchen floor) when I recently cooked quite a bit of food for a friend’s Halloween party. When I loaded up the Cambro and tried to move it, all of the trays fell out of their respective grooves and landed on top of each other. I wound up having to remove all the trays of food (I had made 4 full trays of hot food) from the Cambro, clean up the mess and place the empty Cambro in my SUV and then bring the food trays out to my vehicle and then place trays in Cambro. Then I drove to the party very carefully (a half hour drive) avoiding pot holes and any quick turns or maneuvers. When I got to the party one of the trays had fallen out of the grooves and landed in the one beneath it, leaving a little mess, but nothing disastrous. Not sure what to do to avoid this happening in the future. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

I noticed that caterers used this carrier to decided to try it. When cooking holiday dinner for 25-35 people it's alway a rush to make the side dishes and fish at the last moment so they're hot when we serve them & not overdone. We put boiling water in a pan on the bottom to warm up the carrier before putting in cooked food. We were able to make foods a couple of hours in advance and hold them in the carrier until ready to serve. This year I'll purchase a couple of heating plates as I've seen them used & they keep the cabinet warmer so foods stay at temp longer.

We received and the latch was broken. There are two so we HAD to have and used anyways. Keeps things nice and warm though. Latches suck though.

Just used this for the first time...good thing I had it, the caterer delivered the food one hour early. This thing holds the temperature beautifully. If you use the aluminum full or half 2.5 inch tray to serve or get from a deli, just buy the stainless steel full or half trays and sit the aluminum pans in them and then slide them. They will fit perfectly. If you entertain and want your food safe as well as tasting it's best, you can't do better than this unless you are using a true hot box, but this is SO much more convenient. Btw, thought the wheel base was incredibly expensive, but it was worth it and it practically weighs the same as the Cambro container it holds, it's that sturdy.

The media could not be loaded. One lock is broken

This thing keeps food hot for hours, even without a warmer. I had a brisket in one that was warm for over 6 hours even with opening and serving out of it. Just be sure and order pans for it since I tried for a few days to find disposable ones that would fit with no luck. I finally got the ones built for it and they work great.

If I'm to transport hot food to a catering gig, I'll fill the Cambro with hot water to "charge" it up. Hours later your food will still be piping hot inside. I have 3 of them and can't live without em.

As mentioned by others item arrived with clip already broken. In my opinion it’s the packaging while there are corner protection in the box there’s nothing protecting the clips themselves that might help
