ABSTRACT:
An adapter for mounting an oversize or sheet pan over at least two wells of a food serving station includes a frame structure surrounding a central aperture. The adapter includes a lower support surface designed to rest on the upper surface of a serving station, an upper support surface for supporting the peripheral flange of a sheet pan and side panels between the upper and lower surfaces for raising the pan above the upper surface of the station. Downwardly extending locating flanges protrude into the wells to maintain the adapter in place. Inclined centering flanges extend into the aperture for urging the pan into the aperture. The adapter can be positioned over the wells when a sheet pan is to be used and is easily removed from the station when standard food trays are to be placed in the wells.
