Before putting the dish in the carrier, the directions say to let it cool for 10 minutes on the counter. After waiting the 10 minutes, I tried it out a couple of times and it didn't melt.

I am 74 years old and have wished for a carrying case like this for as long as I can remember. It received excellent reviews (I believe I read every single one before deciding on this company's product. ) One suggestion: be gentle with the zippers because there is a lot of fabric to zip up, but everything is well-made and you can't imagine how versatile this case is. Because the top section can be expanded and the bottom section is already quite large, I can fit two deep lasagna aluminum pans 13 14 by 9 5/8 with aluminum foil to cover them (but not with the plastic cover if it extends too far). In the bottom section, I can fit a hot, fresh-out-of-the-oven casserole dish, and in the top section, I can fit a large serving spoon, a plate of fresh-out-of-the-oven brownies, and a bunch of plates. I put a hot dish of food in the bottom and a cold bottle of white wine, a box of toothpicks, hot oven mitts, and a large serving spool in the top the other night. The handles help to keep the carrying case level, and the zippers are sturdy. Everyone always compliments me on how much fun the colors are because I have the orange and turquoise case. Previously, I had to wrap hot foods in a lot of towels and then place trays in my trunk to keep the towels and food in place. Worse, I kept the wrapped food between my feet to keep it from moving around and hoped I didn't get burned. Now I remove the hot food from the oven, place it in the case, zip it up, and nothing moves. This would be a wonderful engagement or birthday present for a lady who enjoys bringing delicious food to parties. Hey. This is who I am:.
This thermal carrier is fantastic! When I bought it, I wasn't sure about the color, but it's actually quite lovely. This carrier is fantastic in terms of functionality. In the bottom section, I was able to fit two 9" x 13" aluminum pans. extended AND a similar-sized pan in the top section The hot pans were on the bottom, and these containers stayed warm - Without warming the top dessert pan, leave it in the oven for the next two hours. I'm happy with my purchase and plan to use it often.
This carrier is fantastic. We cut a piece of cardboard covered in aluminum foil to fit on the bottom of the top compartment to make it a little stiffer when carrying two casseroles, and it kept my food warm for several hours. You are not required to do so, but we chose to do so for our own peace of mind. This stylish and well-made carrier comes highly recommended. At our get-together, a number of people inquired about it.
At 3 p. m. , I wrote: 4 pound beef stew, 1 container homemade mashed potatoes, noodle kugel, and apple pie At 7 p. m. , my son arrived. Things weren't just warm, but scorching. When I was clearing the table, my mother commented that it was warm from the containers! Thank you for creating such a dependable product that allowed my family to feel at home even though we were thousands of miles apart.
The padded Velcro handle was sewn on crookedly, causing the entire carrier to tilt; if it hadn't been permanently affixed to the handle, this would have been a simple fix, but now I have to return and wait for a non-permanent replacement. The product is defective, and it will arrive too late to be used for the dinner I ordered it for. Sucks!.
It was perfect for a planned dinner by the river with my husband. There was plenty of room for two large dishes, as well as an additional zipper compartment on top for spoons and napkins. Two LG heat packs were purchased. Our food was kept warm and delicious. The color combination is fantastic! A must!.
Okay, this is fantastic. I'm glad we got it, but don't put it in the oven right away (I'll explain why later). To begin, there are some advantages: We were able to fit a 9x13 on the bottom, which was extremely convenient. Food stays nice and warm (we traveled 20 minutes and didn't eat for another 30 minutes or so) thanks to the 9x9 9x5 on top plus utensils in the pocket. It is simple to transport. The only problem is that I saw a lot of reviews where people said they took it out of the oven and it was fine, which we did (in a glass dish at 350 degrees). (See photo) The bottom appears to have melted. So I'm not sure if putting it there without letting it cool for a few minutes is the best move. Apart from that, we adore this carrier. We wished we had received it earlier!.
I usually make these types of gifts myself, but when I saw this and the price, I had to get one and see if it worked. I considered Rachael Ray's because I like her colors, but because I have Paula Deen's large casserole dishes, I was concerned that the ridged sides on the bottom storage would prevent me from getting my hand down by the side of the dish to get it out if I got it in. And I believe hers was a little smaller than the size listed. It's also about twice the price. The height of my red dishes is 9x13x3". The casserole dish is approximately 2 inches deeper than the bottom storage. The dimensions of my Pyrex dish, which is the largest I've ever seen, are 38x25x4 cm. It pushes the sides out (I believe it's almost 14x10"), but it zips up fine. Another reason I believe the soft sides are a better fit for me is that they are more comfortable. When I inserted both red dishes, the top one did not sag into the bottom one. Fabric, zippers, and time all add up to around $75. This is an excellent buy at only 00.
