Abstract
An insert fits into the interior of a portable cooler or ice chest. The insert has a planar platform with apertures that support flanged food receptacles by their upper flanges. Attached to the platform at its perimeter is a planar flange to fit onto the inner shoulder of the cooler. This flange is spaced apart from the plane of the platform by a distance sufficient to elevate the tops of the receptacles above the upper edge of the cooler. This presents the contents of the receptacles for better visibility and accessibility by the public. An application is to provide condiments to the purchaser of fast food such as hot dogs.
