It's stackable, dishwasher-safe, and  handles extreme temperatures from freezing to hot holding, making it one of the most versatile and  cost-effective investments for your kitchen.

Expert Review and  Insights

"When you're equipping a kitchen, you look for kit that solves problems. The Cambro polycarbonate pans do just that. They eliminate the guesswork of 'what's in this tub?' and  they're tough enough to survive being dropped or knocked about. For any cold-holding or prep application, they're simply a more practical choice than their stainless steel cousins."

Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: Superb clarity and  durability mean fewer mistakes and  longer-lasting equipment.
  • Con: Not suitable for ovens or high-heat hobs; strictly for non-cooking applications.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Corner Deli" in Leeds needed to streamline its busy lunchtime sandwich prep line. Their mix of opaque plastic and  easily dented metal pans was slowing down staff and  leading to wasted ingredients as they couldn't see stock levels clearly.

"Switching to these clear Cambro pans was a revelation. My team can see exactly what they need instantly, without lifting a single lid. They look professional on the counter, and  we haven't had a single crack or serious scratch since we bought them six months ago. They just make everything smoother."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Corner Deli

The deli reported a significant drop in food spoilage and  estimates that their new, more organised system has increased their order output during the peak lunch rush by over 20%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before the first use to remove any residue from manufacturing.
  • Check that the pan fits correctly in your prep counters, storage racks, or bain-marie units.
  • Consider using food-safe labels or day-dots on the side for ultimate ingredient organisation.

Keeping It in Top Shape

  • These pans are dishwasher safe, but placing them on the top rack can help prolong their life.
  • To maintain clarity, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals which can cause scratches.
  • Rinse after use, especially with acidic or heavily pigmented foods like tomato sauce, to minimise staining.
  • Ensure pans are completely dry before stacking to prevent them from creating a vacuum and  sticking together.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

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

Material Matters

Polycarbonate is for visibility and  durability in cold applications. Stainless steel is for cooking and  hot holding in ovens. Melamine is for stylish, lightweight buffet displays.

Know Your Depths

Shallower pans (20-65mm) are for small portions or pizza toppings. Deeper pans (100-200mm), like this 150mm deep gastro container, are for bulk ingredients, sauces, and  salads.

Size Is Standard

GN sizing is universal. A 1/1 pan is the full-size base, and  a 1/3 pan like this one takes up a third of that space. You can fit three 1/3 pans in a 1/1 slot.

Consider Lids

Does your pan need a lid for transport or stacking? Check for compatible lids – they're usually sold separately and  come in different styles (sealed, notched for spoons, etc.).

Temperature Tasks

Always check the temperature range. A pan for a refrigerated salad bar has different needs than one for a hot buffet. This pan's -40°C to 99°C range makes it brilliant for cold lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this pan in the oven or microwave?

A: No. Polycarbonate is not safe for use in ovens, microwaves, or on direct heat sources. Its maximum temperature is 99°C, making it suitable for hot holding in a bain-marie, but not for cooking.

Q: Is the pan freezer-safe?

A: Yes, absolutely. It can withstand temperatures down to -40°C, making it perfect for storing prepped ingredients in commercial freezers.

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

A: It refers to the standard European 'Gastronorm' sizing system. A 1/3 pan takes up one-third of the space of a standard 1/1 (full size) Gastronorm pan. This ensures it will fit in compatible serveries and  racks.

Q: Is this commercial food pan 1/3 Cambro truly unbreakable?

A: It's made from exceptionally impact-resistant polycarbonate, so it won't crack or shatter from everyday drops and  knocks like other plastics might. However, it's not indestructible if subjected to extreme force.

Q: How can I prevent the clear plastic from staining?

A: The best method is to rinse the pan as soon as possible after use, especially with strong-coloured foods like curries or tomato-based sauces. Avoid leaving these foods in the pan for extended periods.

Q: Are lids available for this pan?

A: Yes, compatible Cambro lids are available separately. They come in various styles, including flat lids for storage and  notched lids to accommodate serving utensils.

Q: Is this pan stackable with pans from other brands?

A: While GN sizing is standard, stacking lugs can differ between manufacturers. For perfect, non-jamming stacking, it's always best to use pans from the same brand and  range.

Q: Is the material BPA-free?

A: Cambro produces a wide range of food-safe products compliant with food safety regulations. Their polycarbonate items are designed for commercial food contact and  are widely trusted in the industry.

What Customers Are Saying

"These are the absolute standard for a reason. Tough as old boots and  you can see everything. We use them for all our prep. Well worth the investment over cheaper options."

Ben Carter – Head Chef, Manchester Hotel

"Really great quality and  perfect for our salad bar. My only tiny gripe is that potent sauces like tomato or turmeric can stain them slightly over time, but it's minor."

Sarah Jenkins – Deli Owner, Brighton

"We use these for our catering business. They stack perfectly in the van, don't weigh a ton, and  go straight from the fridge to the serving line. The Cambro DM735 gastronorm pan is a must-have."

Maria Evans – Events Caterer, Birmingham

The Cambro Commitment: Built for the Real World

When you choose a Cambro product, you're not just buying a piece of equipment; you're investing in peace of mind. For decades, Cambro has been the undisputed leader in food storage and  transport, building a reputation on one simple promise: absolute reliability. This polycarbonate 1/3 gastronorm pan 150mm is a perfect example of that philosophy. While other containers might save you a few pounds upfront, the long-term cost of replacements from cracks, dents, and  stains quickly adds up. Cambro's dedication to using superior materials means their pans endure the daily grind of a commercial kitchen, providing a better return on investment over their lifespan. It’s this focus on real-world durability and  unwavering consistency in sizing and  quality that makes Cambro the trusted partner for food businesses that can't afford surprises or downtime.

Why Polycarbonate is a Kitchen Powerhouse

Ever wondered what makes a polycarbonate gastronorm container 1/3 different from other plastics? Think of polycarbonate as the superhero of kitchen materials. It's the same stuff used to make shatterproof windows and  glasses, which tells you everything about its strength. Unlike standard plastic tubs that can turn brittle and  crack in the freezer, or metal pans that dent, polycarbonate is designed to absorb impacts and  bounce back.

The real magic for a kitchen is its combination of strength and  clarity. It gives you the see-through convenience of glass, so you can check stock levels in a split second, but without the terrifying risk of it shattering into your food prep area. This means faster service, less food waste, and  a safer kitchen environment all around.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cafes and  Sandwich Bars: Perfect for organising and  displaying fresh fillings, salads, and  toppings for quick assembly and  service.
  • Hotel Buffet Lines: Ideal for presenting cold items like fruit salads, yoghurts, and  dressings in a clean, professional way.
  • Event and  Mobile Caterers: A lightweight, durable, and  stackable solution for transporting prepped ingredients safely and  efficiently to any location.
  • Food Prep and  Ghost Kitchens: Essential for organising ingredients in walk-in fridges and  on prep lines, maximising space and  workflow.
