Abstract: A heat-shrinkable polymeric cover provides a safe, low cost way to cover a food service pan during food preparation, storage, cooking, transport and reheating. The food pan cover can have a closed top end having a first top edge and a second top edge and an open bottom end having a first bottom edge and a second bottom edge. A first side seal extends from the top end to the bottom end, and a second side seal extends from the top end to the bottom end. A gusset can be formed between the first top edge and the second top edge. The food pan cover can be formed from a single layer of heat-shrinkable polymeric material capable of withstanding a temperature of at least about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for forming an improved barrier between a pan, such as a food service pan, and a substance, such as food, contained therein using a contour fit pan liner are provided. The apparatus includes a pan liner having a contoured bottom edge that is custom fit within a food service pan to cover an interior surface of the pan. The contoured edge of the pan liner conforms to the shape and size of the food service pan and does not have any dog ears, ears, or tails that are typical of conventional pan liner. The contour fit pan liner system includes a pan and a contoured or shaped liner for forming an improved barrier between an interior surface of the pan and food that can be disposed therein using a pan liner having a contoured bottom edge that is custom fit to the shape and size of the pan.

Abstract: A heat-shrinkable food pan cover provides a safe, low cost way to cover a food service pan during food preparation, storage, cooking, transport, and reheating. The food pan cover can have first and second side panels. A gusset having first and second gusset panels can be formed between the first and second side panels. A width of each of the gusset panels can be greater than a width of each of the side panels. A first side seal can extend along a portion of a first end, sealing together a portion of each of the first side panel, second side panel, first gusset panel, and second gusset panel. A second side seal can extend along a portion of a second end, sealing together a portion of each of the first side panel, second side panel, first gusset panel, and second gusset panel.
