Product Overview

Here’s a simple but brilliant bit of kit for any kitchen that values freshness. This is the Cambro 1/6 GN polycarbonate drain shelf, a tough little tray designed to sit inside your standard 1/6 gastronorm pans. It elevates your ingredients, letting any unwanted moisture drain away, which is the secret to keeping food looking and  tasting its best for longer.

It’s an absolute must-have for busy sandwich bars, delis, salad prep stations, and  any spot that preps fresh ingredients. If you’re storing washed salad leaves, sliced tomatoes, cooked meats, or even fish, this handy insert keeps them from getting soggy and  sad. By promoting air circulation and  drainage, it preserves texture and  flavour, directly cutting down on waste.

Made from Cambro's famously durable, high-impact polycarbonate, this tray can handle the rough and  tumble of a commercial kitchen. It withstands temperatures from the freezer to the prep counter (-40°C to 99°C), is non-stick for easy food release, and  can be popped straight in the dishwasher. It’s the unsung hero that will make a real difference to your food quality.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Garden Café in York was looking for a way to improve the quality of their popular salad bar ingredients. They found that prepped items like cucumber and  peppers would become watery in their containers throughout the day, leading to waste.

"We prep a lot of fresh veg every morning, but by lunchtime, some items were sitting in their own juices. We switched to using this Cambro DM755 drainage shelf in all our 1/6 GN pans, and  the difference was immediate. Our ingredients stay fresh and  appealing right through the afternoon rush."

Michael Edwards – Owner

The café significantly enhanced the presentation of their salad bar and  reported a noticeable drop in daily food waste.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first use, give the drain shelf a quick wash with warm, soapy water.
  • Simply drop the shelf into a compatible 1/6 GN gastronorm pan.
  • Make sure it sits flat at the bottom of the pan before adding any food on top.

Keeping It Going

  • The shelf is fully commercial dishwasher safe for a quick and  hygienic clean.
  • For any stubborn food bits, a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive sponge is all you need.
  • Stack them neatly to save space, but try not to wedge them together too tightly.
  • The non-porous surface resists stains and  odours, keeping it looking professional for years.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Accessories

Not sure what you need to complete your GN setup? Here’s a quick guide to making the right choice.

Check Your Sizing

Gastronorm (GN) sizes are standardised across the industry. This 1/6 GN polycarbonate drain shelf will only fit a 1/6 GN pan. Double-check your existing containers before you buy.

Consider the Temperature

Polycarbonate is brilliant for cold storage and  prep (-40°C to 99°C). If you need something for cooking in an oven or hot holding on a steam table, you’ll need to look for stainless steel alternatives.

Match to Your Food

This gastronorm 1/6 drainage insert is perfect for washed vegetables, salads, meat, or fish. For dry goods, sauces, or liquids, you’ll want a solid pan without the drainage holes.

Lids Are Your Friend

To get the most out of your food storage, pair your pan and  drain shelf with a corresponding 1/6 GN lid. This maximises freshness, prevents cross-contamination, and  makes stacking in the fridge a breeze.

Material Matters

Polycarbonate is lightweight, clear, and  shatter-resistant, making it ideal for prep and  cold storage. It's the go-to for visibility and  durability in busy environments.
