Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A high-volume artisan bakery in York was struggling with their ingredient storage. Their existing plastic containers were constantly cracking from the cold in the freezer and daily use, leading to waste and frequent re-ordering.
"We were throwing money away on containers that just couldn't keep up. The Cambro pans are in a different league. They're incredibly tough, and being able to see everything clearly has sped up our prep time significantly. A simple change that made a big difference."
Michael Edwards – Head Baker
After switching to the Cambro DM736 gastronorm containers, the bakery eliminated container breakage entirely, improving food safety and increasing prep efficiency by an estimated 20%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give it a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any dust from transit.
- Although tough, give it a quick once-over upon arrival to ensure it's in perfect condition.
- Label the pan using non-permanent, food-safe markers if you plan to organise by content or date.
Keeping It Going
- This pan is fully dishwasher safe, making for easy and hygienic cleaning.
- To avoid scratching and maintain clarity, use soft cloths or sponges rather than abrasive scourers.
- Stack them neatly when dry to maximise your storage space and prevent them from getting knocked over.
- Periodically check for any deep scratches or wear, especially if used for acidic foods over long periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'GN 1/3' actually mean?
A: 'GN' stands for Gastronorm, a European standard for kitchenware sizes. A 1/3 size pan measures 325 x 176mm, meaning three of them will fit perfectly into a standard 1/1 GN frame.
Q: Can I put this pan in the freezer?
A: Absolutely. It's rated to withstand temperatures as low as -40°C, making it perfect for freezer storage.
Q: Is it safe to use in a microwave or oven?
A: No. Polycarbonate pans are not designed for high-heat cooking and should not be used in microwaves or conventional ovens. The maximum temperature is 99°C.
Q: Is this Cambro pan dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, it is designed for commercial dishwashers, ensuring quick and sanitary cleaning.
Q: Does the polycarbonate material stain easily from foods like tomato sauce?
A: Cambro's high-quality polycarbonate is highly resistant to food acids and oils, which helps prevent staining and odour retention.
Q: Do these pans come with a lid?
A: Lids are typically sold separately to allow you to choose between different types, such as standard lids or lids with a handle or notch.
Q: How do they stack?
A: They have moulded-in stacking lugs that allow them to nest neatly without sticking together, saving valuable storage space.
Q: Is 'polycarbonate' the same as regular plastic?
A: No, polycarbonate is a specific type of high-performance thermoplastic that is prized for its incredible strength, clarity, and impact resistance, far superior to standard food-grade plastic.
The Cambro Commitment: Consistency in Every Container
When you choose a Cambro 1/3 size GN container, you're investing in more than just a piece of plastic; you're buying into a system of total kitchen efficiency. For decades, Cambro has been the industry benchmark for food storage, and that reputation is built on unwavering consistency. Every pan is manufactured to precise Gastronorm specifications, ensuring they fit perfectly in your prep tables, service counters, and transport racks every single time. This uniformity eliminates the guesswork and frustration that comes with mismatched containers. In the long run, this means smoother operations, less food waste, and a kitchen that looks and feels more professional. The long-term value comes from fewer replacements due to breakage and a food-safe, non-porous surface that supports your HACCP compliance, protecting both your food and your reputation.
Explore more from CambroMore Than Just Plastic: The Polycarbonate Advantage
You see 'polycarbonate' and might just think it's a fancy word for plastic, but it's a huge step up from standard food containers. Think of it like the difference between a normal drinking glass and the tough, shatterproof material used for safety glasses. Cambro's polycarbonate is engineered to be incredibly impact-resistant. This means it won't crack if you drop it on a hard kitchen floor or chip when knocked against a steel worktop. Unlike cheaper plastics that can go cloudy or brittle over time, this commercial polycarbonate GN pan maintains its crystal clarity and strength, even after countless trips through the dishwasher. It's this built-in resilience that makes it a smart choice for any kitchen that can't afford breakages or downtime.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants & Pubs: Perfect for organising mise en place in the walk-in and prepping for a seamless service.
- Delis & Sandwich Bars: Ideal for displaying fresh salad ingredients, fillings, and cold cuts on the service line.
- Mobile & Event Caterers: A reliable choice for transporting prepped food securely from kitchen to venue without breakages.
- Dessert Parlours & Cafés: Great for holding large batches of toppings, sauces, or cold-set desserts with clear visibility.
