Expert Review and  Insights

In the world of kitchen kit, some items are glamorous, and  some are just plain essential. The Cambro GN pan falls firmly into the latter. It’s the unsung hero of food prep. While cheaper pans might seem tempting, they often become a false economy when they crack or stain. This one is built to last, making it a sound investment for any serious food business.

  • Pros: Virtually indestructible and  won't stain from acidic sauces or dressings.
  • Cons: It’s not suitable for oven use, so it's strictly for preparation/cold service.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Garden Patch Deli in Norwich was struggling with a collection of mismatched, brittle plastic containers for their popular salad bar. They were cracking under daily use and  staining easily, which looked unprofessional and  meant constant re-ordering.

"We were throwing out cracked pans every month. We switched to these Cambro 1/3 GN containers and  the difference is night and  day. They're tough, they still look brand new after countless washes, and  being clear helps us keep on top of stock instantly."

Samuel Jones – Owner

By switching, The Garden Patch Deli eliminated breakages entirely, reducing their annual container replacement costs by nearly 90% and  improving the look of their service counter.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
  • Check it fits snugly and  correctly in your refrigerated counter, bain marie base, or storage rack.
  • Use food-safe labels or pens if you need to mark pans for allergens or use-by dates.

Keeping It Going

  • These pans are fully dishwasher safe for easy and  effective cleaning.
  • To avoid scratches and  keep it looking pristine, use soft cloths or sponges, not abrasive scourers.
  • Stack them neatly when not in use – the design helps prevent them from jamming together.
  • Remember, do not use in conventional ovens, combi ovens, or microwaves.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which pan is right for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Material Matters

Polycarbonate is brilliant for prep, storage, and  cold service. For direct heat in ovens or hot holding, you'll need stainless steel.

Check the Depth

This 100mm pan is a great all-rounder. Consider shallower pans for smaller portions or deeper ones for bulk items like soup or sauces.

Temperature Needs

Ensure the pan's temperature range fits your workflow. This one's -40°C to 99°C range is perfect for freezer-to-fridge-to-counter use.

Lids and  Accessories

Do you need lids for stacking and  transport? Cambro offers compatible lids that seal well to keep food fresh and  prevent spills.

Cost vs. Lifespan

It can be tempting to buy cheaper pans, but they often crack, stain, and  need frequent replacing. Investing in a brand like Cambro saves money and  hassle long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this pan in the oven?

A: No, polycarbonate pans are not designed for use in ovens, microwaves, or direct heat sources. They are for storage, prep, and  cold service.

Q: Is it safe to put in the freezer?

A: Absolutely. It's rated to withstand temperatures as low as -40°C, making it perfect for freezing ingredients.

Q: Is the Cambro DM734 1/3 GN container dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is designed for commercial dishwashers, making cleanup quick and  easy.

Q: What does 'GN 1/3' actually mean?

A: 'GN' stands for Gastronorm, a European standard for kitchen container sizes. A 1/3 pan is one-third the size of a full 1/1 pan, so three of these will fit perfectly across a standard counter opening.

Q: Will strong foods like tomato sauce or curry stain it?

A: No, the high-quality polycarbonate is highly resistant to food acids and  oils, so it won't stain or retain odours.

Q: Is this pan BPA-free?

A: Yes, Cambro food pans are made from BPA-free materials, ensuring food safety.

Q: Can I stack these pans when they have food in them?

A: It's best to use compatible lids if you want to stack them while full to protect the contents. They are designed to nest together perfectly when empty for storage.

Q: How does this compare to a stainless steel pan?

A: Polycarbonate is lighter, allows you to see the contents, and  stays cool to the touch. Stainless steel is for hot applications like use in an oven or a hot bain marie.

Why Polycarbonate is a Chef's Best Friend

When you see 'polycarbonate', don't just think 'plastic'. It’s a specific, high-performance material that’s engineered for toughness. Think of it like the difference between a normal drinking glass and  the shatterproof safety glass in a car windscreen. While other plastic pans might crack if dropped or warp when going from a cold fridge to a warm prep area, a quality polycarbonate 1/3 gastronorm pan 100mm is built to handle the knocks, drops, and  temperature swings of a professional kitchen. Crucially, its non-porous surface means it won’t absorb flavours, odours, or colours from foods like curries, tomato sauces, or olives. This ensures your pans stay hygienic and  looking professional for years, not months.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Sandwich Bars & Delis: For neatly holding prepped salad, cooked meats, and  sandwich fillings on the line.
  • Local Farm Shops & Butchers: Ideal for displaying fresh olives, marinated meats, or deli salads hygienically.
  • Mobile Caterers & Event Planners: Perfect for transporting ingredients safely and  serving efficiently at any location.
  • Bustling Cafés & Bakeries: Excellent for organising cake toppings, fresh fruit, and  other ingredients by the counter.
