We have chosen the Polar Ware EDGE pan as our preferred water pan because just like Polar Ware we are commited to quality. We know that you can buy a cheaper pan, and that is exactly what you get, a cheaper pan. The EDGE pan is the strongest pan, bar none and they are made in America just like Wrap-N-Guard products. The metal lip on the Polar Ware EDGE pan fits our Wrap-N-Guard chafer like a glove. We could not have built a better water pan if we tried.
