Product Overview
Stepping into the world of professional food prep and storage, we introduce the Cambro DM753, a true kitchen essential. This isn't just any container; it’s a 1/6 polycarbonate gastronorm pan, meticulously designed to make your kitchen workflow smoother, safer, and more efficient. Built from virtually unbreakable polycarbonate, it's the kind of reliable kit you'll reach for day in, day out, without a second thought.
This 150mm deep gastronorm food pan is tailor-made for busy commercial environments. Think bustling delis needing to keep salad ingredients fresh, hotel buffets displaying fruit and toppings, or event caterers who need to prep, store, and transport with military precision.

From the freezer to the food prep line, this pan handles it all. It withstands a massive temperature range, won't crack under pressure, and cleans up beautifully in the dishwasher.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Garden Café in Norwich was struggling with a disorganised salad bar, using a mismatch of containers that were prone to cracking and staining. They upgraded their entire cold line with Cambro DM753 1/6 GN containers to create a uniform, professional, and durable system.
"It's made a huge difference. Everything looks tidier, the staff can see what's what, and they go straight from the walk-in fridge to the counter. The durability is fantastic; we haven't had a single one break, unlike our old ones."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The switch to the 150mm deep gastronorm food pan system led to a measurable 30% reduction in food prep and line restocking time during their busy lunch rush.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- If you need lids, ensure you order the correct corresponding size for a snug fit.
- Consider using them as part of a colour-coded system (with coloured lids or clips) to help prevent cross-contamination.
Keeping It Going
- These pans are fully dishwasher safe for easy and effective sanitation.
- To avoid scratching the surface, steer clear of abrasive scourers or harsh metal utensils for cleaning.
- When stacking, ensure they are fully dry to prevent them from creating a vacuum and sticking together.
- Regularly check the corners and edges for any signs of heavy wear, although they are designed for years of service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does '1/6 GN' actually mean?
A: It refers to a standard size. A '1/6' or 'Sixth' Gastronorm pan measures 176 x 162mm, meaning six of them will fit perfectly into a standard full-size 1/1 GN aperture.
Q: Can I use this polycarbonate gastronorm pan in the oven?
A: No. Polycarbonate pans are not designed for high-heat cooking environments like ovens or grills. They are for storage, prep, and cold or warm holding up to 99°C.
Q: Is this pan safe for freezer use?
A: Absolutely. It is rated to withstand temperatures as low as -40°C, making it perfect for storing frozen goods.
Q: Are these pans stackable?
A: Yes, they are designed with a shoulder to allow for neat, space-saving stacking when not in use.
Q: Will strong foods like curry or tomato sauce stain the pan?
A: High-quality polycarbonate, like that used by Cambro, is highly resistant to staining and will not absorb food odours or flavours.
Q: Is the material BPA-free?
A: Yes, Cambro food-grade polycarbonate containers are BPA-free, ensuring they meet food safety standards.
Q: How do I clean it?
A: It is completely safe for use in commercial dishwashers. For manual washing, use a soft cloth or sponge with regular washing-up liquid.
Q: Is it microwave-safe?
A: While technically it can withstand microwave temperatures, it is generally not recommended for commercial kitchen use to preserve its lifespan and integrity.
The Cambro Commitment: More Than Just a Container
Investing in a Cambro DM753 is about more than just buying a commercial polycarbonate GN 1/6 pan; it's about investing in operational peace of mind. For over 70 years, Cambro has been a trusted name in foodservice because they build products that solve real-world kitchen problems. This pan is a testament to that philosophy. Its long-term value comes not just from its physical durability—reducing the frequency and cost of replacements—but from its contribution to a safer, more compliant kitchen. The non-porous surface helps you adhere to strict HACCP food safety plans by preventing cross-contamination and bacterial growth. In a fast-paced environment, having reliable equipment that performs consistently without warping, staining, or cracking means fewer interruptions and a smoother service. This isn't a disposable item; it's a foundational tool that supports your business's efficiency and reputation, day in and day out.

You might hear 'polycarbonate' and just think 'plastic', but it’s a world away from the flimsy takeaway tubs you get from the supermarket. Think of it as the superhero of plastics, engineered specifically for the harsh realities of a commercial kitchen. Imagine the difference between a normal drinking glass and the shatterproof glass used in a bank. That's the leap in performance you get here. This Cambro GN pan won’t crack if you accidentally drop it, it won't warp in a hot commercial dishwasher, and crucially, it won't absorb odours or flavours. This means the container that held chopped garlic yesterday won't make today's fresh fruit salad taste off – a small detail that makes a huge difference to food quality and safety.
Who Should Buy This?
- Delis & Sandwich Bars: Perfect for holding prepped salad, sandwich fillings, and cold cuts on the prep line.
- Hotel Buffets: Ideal for displaying yoghurts, fruit salads, and various toppings for a professional breakfast service.
- Mobile & Event Caterers: Its lightweight, stackable, and durable nature makes transporting prepped ingredients a breeze.
- Ice Cream & Dessert Parlours: Great for neatly storing and serving sauces, sprinkles, and fresh fruit toppings.
