Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do the Food Pans come in?
Two main materials lead the range, polycarbonate for cold and prep use and stainless steel for hot holding and steam tables. That split lets you match Food Pans to either a cold line or a hot well without changing your pan sizing.
Which sizes of Food Pans are available?
Standard gastronorm fractions run from 1/9 up through full and double-wide, with depths of 2 1/2 inch, 4 inch, and 6 inch. Pick smaller fractions for garnishes and deeper full sizes for bulk, since the Food Pans share the same footprint system.
How do polycarbonate and stainless Food Pans differ for my line?
Clear polycarbonate lets staff see product levels and suits cold prep, while stainless takes direct heat in steam wells. Choose stainless Food Pans for hot holding and polycarbonate for cold rails, based on where the pan sits during service.
Are high-temperature Food Pans offered for warmers?
Yes, Nemco high-temperature pans are built to sit in food warmers and hot wells without softening. They suit holding rather than cold prep, so spec these Food Pans specifically for heated service stations.
Do the Food Pans use matching covers and drain shelves?
Most fractional sizes have matching solid covers, slotted covers, and drain shelves sold alongside the pans. Order the cover and shelf in the same fraction as your Food Pans so lids seat correctly and drainage trays fit.
Can the Food Pans work with my existing steam table or prep rail?
Yes, because they follow standard gastronorm sizing, the Food Pans drop into most steam tables, prep rails, and cold wells. Confirm the opening fraction first, then add Cambro Food Pans where you want branded polycarbonate.
