Stacking food pan with louvered ventilation means

摘要

A food pan with at least one louvered vent in an upper area of a wall of the pan. The louvered vents allow air flow across the top of a serving table to be directed more efficiently toward the surface of the contents of the pan. The vents enable tempered air to flow easily across the surface of the contents of the pan so that the contents are maintained at the desired temperature. The louvers extend outward from the body of the pan so that an anti-jamming mechanism is formed when the pans are stacked together. This construction addresses the two chief problems connected to food pans.
