Abstract
Food serving pans made from a heat conductive materials include a gasket protecting a flange to protect fingers from heat or cold, improve gripping ability, seal against countertops of food serving tables, and protect paint or nonstick coating from chipping off the flange. The food serving pan is made from aluminum or other highly heat conductive material. The gasket comprises silicone, other elastomer, or other heat resistant and insulating material. The gasket includes a circumferential sealing ridge and finger gripping recess. A food serving system includes one or more food pans and food serving table. The food serving pans help maintain food at a desired temperature by efficiently transferring heat or cold from the serving table while sealing the interface between the flange and the countertop of the serving table. The interface between the gasket and flange prevents buildup of food or debris, maintaining cleanliness during repeated use and cleaning cycles.
