If your family is anything like my family, the holidays involve a lot of precarious food transportation methods. When we are tasked with bringing anything involving red sauce to my uncle’s house for our holiday feast (who, by the way, has a 90-degree angle driveway!), my parents carefully wrap the casserole dishes with bath towels in an attempt to reduce spillage in the trunk. It’s an imperfect system that nobody really seems to question except for a few days out of the year.

TO OUR GREAT FORTUNE, at least two people (sisters Jane Casey and Charlene Yeager, the co-founders of Fancy Panz) questioned this problem enough to create a solution.

What are Fancy Panz, you ask? They’re stylish casserole carries that come in eight different colors, cost $20 each, and are the end to all of our potluck transportation woes. They’re PERFECT for a scenario in which you’ve just whipped up some food and now have to whip out your car keys to take it elsewhere.

Buy: Fancy Panz, $20

Fancy Panz come with a clear plastic lid, a serving spoon, a removable riser, and a disposable foil pan. To use, all you have to do is open the plastic frame, and place your dish inside (it fits both shallow and deep half-size foil pans).

Other than making your dishes a breeze to travel with, Fancy Panz also ensure that whatever your contribution is will look appealing on the table. See?

This is a bestselling product on Amazon and reviewers have more than enough good things to say about this ingenious invention, so I’ll let them take it from here.

“My new favorite thing for parties! I have gotten loads of compliments and it is really a useful thing. No more spills and it is attractive on the table. The two pan-depth options are great. Love it.”

“I’ve had so many people ask where I got this. This is perfect for taking dishes to a pitch-in or traveling in the car. I love that the top is attached but you can pop the plastic window out if needed. It’s big enough for cupcakes or cookies, or any dish to serve. This is for room temperature or slightly warm items only.”

“I use my Fancy Panz whenever I take food with me to a party. Everyone wants to know what it is and where they can buy them … and I no longer have to ask someone to hold the food in their lap while we travel. I just love my Fancy Panz. Please make more sizes!”

“I ordered these as gifts and one for myself. My plan is to be able to carry my dishes to holiday festivities without spill issues. The colors will also help me identify my dishes easily when it is time to bring it back home.”
