The pan is of the type including a container portion, a pair of side edges and a pair of end edges. All of the edges protrude away from the container portion and one of the end edges includes a downwardly-turned lip. The cover has a pair of side channels, each for engaging a respective side edge of the pan, and each side channel includes an upper member, an edge panel extending downwardly from the upper member, and a lip extending inwardly from the edge panel. The upper member and the lip of each of the side channels are spaced apart by a first dimension. In the improvement, the cover includes an end channel having an upper component, an end panel extending downwardly from the upper component, a ledge extending inwardly from the end panel and a stop extending upwardly from the ledge. The stop has a border spaced from the upper component by a second dimension which is less than the first dimension.
