Expert Review and  Insights

You can tell a lot about a kitchen by its Gastronorms, and  the Cambro pans are a staple for a reason – they just work. They don't hold onto odours or flavours, and  they stand up to the daily battering of a commercial environment far better than cheaper alternatives. This polycarbonate 1/1 GN food container is a smart investment that pays for itself in sheer reliability.

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Practical Durability: Resists dents, chips, and  cracks far better than metal or cheaper plastics.
  • Prone to Scuffing: The clear surface can show fine scratches with heavy, long-term use.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand View Hotel in the Lake District needed a more durable and  professional solution for their breakfast buffet service, replacing a mix of old, mismatched containers.

"The Cambro pans immediately lifted the look of our buffet. They're crystal clear, so the food looks more appealing, and  they're incredibly tough. They've been through the dishwasher hundreds of times already and  still look fantastic. Our kitchen team loves them."

Robert Green – Head Chef

The switch resulted in a more efficient restocking process and  a noticeable improvement in the buffet's presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Give the pan a good wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Avoid using sharp metal utensils like knives directly inside to prevent scratching the surface.
  • For best results with storage and  transport, pair with a compatible Cambro lid.
  • Check that it fits snugly in your existing gastronorm-sized racks, counters, or warmers.

Keeping It in Top Shape

  • This pan is fully commercial dishwasher safe for a thorough, hygienic clean.
  • For stubborn, baked-on food, soak in warm water rather than using abrasive scourers or steel wool.
  • Stack them neatly when dry – they are designed to prevent jamming, making them easy to separate.
  • Regularly check for any deep scratches which could harbour bacteria, especially in high-volume use.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which Gastronorm is the best fit for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown to help you decide.

Material Matters

Polycarbonate (like this one) is brilliant for cold storage, prep, and  display. For high-heat oven cooking, you'll need stainless steel.

Get the Size Right

GN 1/1 is the 'full' standard size (530x325mm). Check your equipment to see if you need smaller 1/2, 1/3, or other fractional sizes.

Consider the Depth

This 200mm deep gastronorm tray is for large batches. Shallower 65mm or 100mm pans are often better for service lines or smaller quantities.

Lids are Key

Do you need a standard flat lid, one with a notch for a spoon, or a high-heat version? Always check lid compatibility before you buy.

Perforated or Solid?

Solid pans, like this one, hold liquids and  are great all-rounders. Perforated pans have holes and  are designed specifically for steaming or draining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this pan in the oven?

A: No, it is not oven-safe. Its maximum temperature is 99°C, making it perfect for hot-holding, prep, and  storage, but not for cooking.

Q: Is polycarbonate better than stainless steel?

A: It depends on the job. Polycarbonate is lighter, won't dent, and  lets you see the contents. Stainless steel is the winner for high-heat cooking in ovens.

Q: What does 'GN 1/1' actually mean?

A: It's a standardised European sizing system for kitchen containers. GN 1/1 is the 'full' base size, measuring 530 x 325mm, ensuring it fits all standard equipment.

Q: Will this pan stain if I store tomato sauce or curry in it?

A: Cambro's high-quality polycarbonate is specifically designed to be non-porous, resisting stains and  odours from acidic or strongly-flavoured foods.

Q: Is the Cambro DM739 gastronorm pan freezer safe?

A: Yes, absolutely. It can safely withstand temperatures right down to -40°C, making it perfect for deep-freezing ingredients and  meals.

Q: Can I put it straight in my commercial dishwasher?

A: Yes, it's built to withstand the high temperatures and  potent detergents of commercial dishwashers for a fast and  hygienic clean.

Q: What is the exact liquid capacity of this pan?

A: This 200mm deep, full-size pan holds a generous 25.6 litres, making it ideal for bulk storage and  batch preparation.

Q: Will other brands of lids fit this pan?

A: While some might, we always recommend using a compatible Cambro lid to guarantee a perfect, secure fit for effective storage and  transport.

Why Polycarbonate is a Kitchen's Best Friend

Ever wondered what makes polycarbonate special? Think of it as reinforced armour for your food. While metal pans dent and  cheaper plastics can crack or go cloudy, polycarbonate is virtually shatterproof. It’s similar to the material used for safety glasses! This means it won’t react with acidic foods like tomatoes, so your pan won't stain or hold onto the smell of last week's curry. It gives you the clear visibility of glass but with the toughness you need in a demanding kitchen, happily going from a -40°C freezer to a busy prep line without complaint.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Bistros

    Perfect for marinating meats, storing prepped veg, or holding sauces in a busy service line.

  • Event Caterers

    Ideal for transporting pre-cooked meals safely and  serving directly on-site from chafing dishes.
