What's under the hood

Built different.
On purpose.

01 Premium insulation

All-round premium insulation holds food at temp for up to 4 hours. Perfect for Aussie summers and winters.

02 Front-opening access

Slide trays in and out from the front and hold them secure on the rails. Purpose-built to keep food secure and safe, whether at home or on the go.

03 One-handed latch

Latch locks tight for transport or temperature retention - holds ajar to vent. One hand does the job. The other stays free to hold the food.

04 Leak-proof seal

A strong seal ensures marinades, juices and sauces all stay inside.

05 Modular & stackable

Stack multiple units up or across for any hold/cold combo. Pair with carving boards for an instant serving station. Scale to the size of the party.

06 Zero power required

Pre-heat/cool, load, close. Pure passive insulation. Nothing to plug in, nothing to charge, nothing to refill.

Got questions?

The ones we get most.

Is $390 worth it?
If you are a dedicated cook and BBQ-lover, and love hosting or entertaining — yes, without question. The Junior Sous replaces a combination of things people already spend money on (cooling bags, serving equipment, transport containers) and does them all better. The Good Design Award reflects the level of custom-design and engineering that went into it. This is a product built to last.
Does it really keep food hot for 4 hours without power?
The Junior Sous can maintain temperatures for up to 4 hours plus. The exact time however, will depend on how much food you put in the box. Larger cuts of meat and more dense food - picture large pieces of slow-cooked roasts, curries, bakes, lasagnes - will keep very hot for 3-4 hours. The more space in the box, the quicker the temperature will drop - however even for smaller meals, expect it to hold nicely for an hour or two. To maintain food at a cold temperature, with the use of some ice bricks the food will stay fresh for 2-4 hours. Again, this depends on the amount of food and how full the box is - salads, cheese and cold cuts, fruit, desserts will stay fresh for hours.
What's included with the Junior Sous?
Our Junior Sous insulated food box comes with one medium stainless steel tray. You can build your system with additional accessories — various sized trays, lids, carve and serve boards — or purchase one of the bundle kits which include combinations at a discounted rate.
What's your shipping and returns policy?
$15 flat rate shipping Australia-wide. We offer a 30-day return policy. If you're not completely satisfied with the Junior Sous, contact us and we'll make it right.
Can I use it for both hot and cold food?
Yes — the same unit handles both. Use it for hot roasts, BBQ, and casseroles, then use it the next day for a cold platter, seafood, or grazing board. It's temperature-agnostic — it will maintain whatever temperature of food you load into it, depending on the volume.
