  • Built like a tank: The polycarbonate build is incredibly tough; it won't crack or shatter easily.
  • Specific Sizing: Remember, it only fits 1/9 GN pans, so check your container inventory first.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Slice Deli in Bristol was struggling with their sandwich prep station. Freshly washed salad greens and  tomatoes would quickly become soggy in the bottom of their gastronorm pans, leading to unacceptable waste and  a dip in quality.

"We were throwing out so much prepped salad because it would wilt in the bottom of the pans by lunchtime. These drain shelves sorted it out instantly. The difference in freshness is remarkable, and  our sandwiches look and  taste better for it."

David Chen – Owner, The Corner Slice Deli

By adding the Cambro DM760 drain shelves to their prep line, the deli cut its daily salad and  vegetable waste by over 30%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Simply unwrap and  place the drain shelf inside a compatible 1/9 GN pan.
  • Ensure the raised feet sit flat on the bottom of the container.
  • There’s no assembly needed – it’s ready to use straight from the box!

Keeping It Going

  • After use, rinse off any food debris.
  • The shelf is completely dishwasher safe for easy, hygienic cleaning.
  • To prevent scratches and  maintain clarity, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or steel wool.
  • Store flat or inside your gastronorm pans to maintain its shape and  integrity.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Accessories

Not sure what fits your kitchen best? Here are a few quick tips to help you choose the right gear.

Check Your GN Size

Gastronorm containers come in standard sizes (1/1, 1/2, 1/9, etc.). Always match your accessory, like this 1/9 drain shelf, to your pan size for a perfect fit.

Material Matters

Polycarbonate is tough and  versatile for cold storage and  prep. For direct oven use or high-heat applications, you would need stainless steel. Always choose the material based on the job.

Consider Temperature Needs

This shelf is great for a range of -40°C to 99°C. If you need something for blast chilling or high-heat cooking, always double-check the temperature rating of your equipment.

Lids and  Inserts

Think about the whole system. Do you need notched lids for serving spoons? Or solid lids for airtight transport? A great gastronorm setup is a collection of compatible parts.

The Power of Drainage

A simple gastronorm container draining tray can drastically improve food quality for anything from washed salad to defrosting meats, reducing spoilage and  saving you money.

Why Polycarbonate is a Chef's Best Friend

Ever wondered why so many professional kitchen tools are made from polycarbonate? Think of it like the superhero of plastics. It's incredibly strong, so it won't crack if you accidentally drop it or shatter when moving from a -40°C freezer to a warm kitchen. Unlike cheaper plastics, it doesn't stain easily or hold onto odours from things like onions or garlic. This means your gastronorm pan drain insert stays clean, clear, and  hygienic for years, making it a reliable workhorse you won't have to replace constantly.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant Kitchens: Ideal for holding prepped salad, vegetables, or marinating meats without them getting waterlogged.
  • Mobile Caterers: Keeps ingredients fresh and  crisp during transport and  on-site service at events and  festivals.
  • Sandwich Bars & Delis: A must-have for storing washed lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and  other moist sandwich fillings.
  • Seafood Stalls: Perfect for draining excess water from fresh fish or shellfish on display or in storage.
