HOW THE JUNIOR SOUS WILL TRANSFORM YOUR ENTERTAINING

This isn’t just about keeping food at the right temperature—it’s about elevating the way you host.

SERVE WITH CONFIDENCE — No more worrying if the roast will go cold or the salad will wilt before your guests arrive or the rest of the spread is ready to serve.
HOST ANYWHERE, EFFORTLESSLY — Backyard BBQ, campfire cook-up or boat party, your food stays fresh and ready-to-serve.
STAY IN THE MOMENT — Spend less time in the kitchen and more time laughing with friends.
TURN MEALS INTO EVENTS — Impress your guests with professional-quality presentation and flawless timing.
INVEST IN MEMORIES WITH YOUR TRIBE — Every gathering becomes easier, more relaxed, and more enjoyable—for you and everyone else.

Our Junior Sous was built by a chef who understands real-world needs. Unlike traditional coolers or eskies that are top-opening and require digging through contents, this purpose-built food system allows easy access and holding for food, and creates an instant serving station anywhere you need it.

The durable construction withstands outdoor conditions while protecting your food from the elements, and reducing the need for single-use serving materials.

Crafted from premium, food-safe materials built to last through seasons, it offers no-fuss setup, easy pack-down, and simple cleaning for effortless entertaining whether you're hosting backyard BBQs, picnics, or camping adventures.

Designed to fit the universally recognised, commercially used Gastronorm trays in the 1/2 size, however due to the versatility of the rails, a wide variety of trays and platters work seamlessly. (See dimensions included.)

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the box keep food hot / cold?

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. If wanting to maintain food at a cold temperature, with the use 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.

How is this different from a regular cooler or esky?

Unlike traditional coolers that open at the top, the Junior Sous is purpose-built for food and offers front-loading access, integrated rails to keep trays and platters secure and professional-grade all-round insulation designed specifically for temperature control, not just ice. The modular, nesting design also allows for securely stacking multiple boxes on top, and also offers an instant prep or serving station on top.

Do you need to plug it into electricity to get it hot inside? How does it stay hot inside?

There is no electricity required. Our boxes are fully insulated so once hot food goes in the insulation will help retain the heat. The portion size of your food will play a factor into how long it will stay hot for. You can also pre-heat the box to further support the temperature control.

Does the Junior Sous need to be preheated or pre-chilled?

While not required, particularly for large and dense serves of food, pre-heating or pre-chilling the Junior Sous for 15 minutes before loading food will support the temperature retention, especially for longer transports.

What size platters and containers fit inside?

Internally, the Junior Sous is 27cm wide and 34 cm deep, with three sets of rails. While our stainless steel trays fit perfectly, we have designed the internal space to be very versatile. And here’s a tip - our flat trays can also act as a shelf for smaller trays, platters or plates that don’t fit on the rails.
