Abstract: In summary there is provided in one embodiment a combination of a pan and thermal bag used to maintain hot or cold temperatures of food placed in the pan.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there is provided an improved disposable aluminum pan for use with a chaffing rack and a pair of half pans. The pan includes a base terminating to a sidewall and a rim, which terminates to a rolled bead. The pan includes an inside length measured longitudinally across opposing sidewalls from the inside edge of the rim. The inside length is configured to be longer than a corresponding inside length of an unimproved pan. The pair of half pans when nested side by side in the improved pan can have adjacent sides of the half pans lay without overlap. The pan also allows for a lid to fit better. The pan also includes a deeper well such that the bottom is positioned closer to burners in the chaffing rack and allows more water to be added during the heating process.

Abstract: There is provided a combination of nested pans for use in warming and cooking foods. The combination includes a first pan and a second pan. The second pan has a base portion terminating to an upwardly extending continuously surrounding sidewall. The sidewall has an upper edge that extend outwardly to a rim. The second pan further has an inside angle defined between the base portion of the upwardly extending sidewall, and wherein the continuously surrounding sidewall defines a pair of oppositely positioned short sides and a pair of oppositely positioned long sides interspaced between the short sides. The length of the short side of the pan is configured to permit at least three pans to nest side by side within the first pan.

Abstract: In summary there is provided in one embodiment a combination of a pan with roasting material used in cooking food. The pan is configured for use to cook food and includes a bottom base having a base periphery edge and a sidewall extending upwardly from the base periphery edge and terminating at a side edge to create a well therebetween. The roasting material is removably secured to the bottom base or the sidewall of the pan. In addition, the roasting material is configured for use in conjunction with the pan to cook food and wherein the roasting material is either a roasting bag and a roasting bag tie for use together with each other, or aluminum foil, such that the roasting material is removed from the bottom base of the pan and used in conjunction with the pan to cook food.

Abstract: In summary there is provided in one embodiment a combination of a pan with a box for holding a roasting material. The roasting bag is positioned within and removable from the box.

Abstract: In summary there is provided in one embodiment a combination of a pan with a label for holding a roasting bag. The pan is defined by having a bottom base having a base periphery edge and a sidewall extending upwardly from the base periphery edge and terminating at a side edge to create a well therebetween. The label includes front and rear sides. The rear side being secured to the bottom base and includes a pocket formed thereon. The pocket has an access opening into an internal space of the pocket. The roasting bag is positioned within and removable from the pocket of the label.

Abstract: There is provided a packaged pan and lid that includes at least two nested pans and at least two lids. Each lid has at least two bi-lateral fold lines, such that the lid is configurable into a folded configuration and removable secured within a well of a corresponding pan. The lid being removable from the well and unfolded to a substantially flat configuration. The lid may then be placed on the rim of the pan, such that a lip of the pan can be bent over the edge of the lid.
