What fits in it?

A friend of mine asked me about it the other day ... I know it fits the DCB and the chillanne server, but not much else.
 
9x13 baker
Large Square SA Bowl
DDB.....

It has velcro straps to tighten whatever you are carrying, so you can also fit the 9x9 and smaller containers in it too.

It has a narrow pocket on the side for serving pieces also.
 
I've also used it for the medium and large bar pans, oval baker, dd baker. I LOVE it!!!
 
The Bar pan & medium bar pan....

It keeps things pretty hot. I also forgot, sometimes when I make the Banana Supreme Cake, I put it in there to keep it secure...HTH :)
 
It does a great job! I made lasagna & served it about 1.5 hours later...piping hot!

Thats my mission in life, to bring smiles to peoples faces....:D
 
It also keeps cool things cool. I've used it with the Chillzanne products to add "cold" time. I just placed a microfiber towel under it to catch condensation.
 
I love my insulated tote and use it to bring food to parties that we go to. I've sold a few that way too by people seeing it. Reminds me that DH told me the last time I sent my lemon blossoms that I made in the mini muffin pan that I put in the rectangular baker with a cover on it in this that some of the workers at the Day Program were interested in it. I guess I should send in another catalog and order forms with him tomorrow and see if I can get more orders!!
