Steam Table Pan

Steam table pans are a type of food container used in commercial kitchens for holding and serving food. They are typically made of stainless steel and come in various sizes and depths to accommodate different types of food.

Steam table pans are designed to fit into steam tables or hot food wells, which are used to keep food warm for extended periods of time. These pans have a rectangular shape with rounded corners and a flat bottom, allowing them to sit securely in the steam table.

The pans are available in different depths, such as full size (20 3/4" x 12 3/4" x 2 1/2"), half size (12 3/4" x 10 3/8" x 2 1/2"), and third size (12 3/4" x 6 7/8" x 2 1/2"). They can also come in different configurations, such as solid pans for holding food directly or perforated pans for draining excess liquid.

Steam table pans are essential for buffet-style restaurants, catering events, and other foodservice establishments where large quantities of food need to be kept warm and easily accessible. They are durable, easy to clean, and can withstand high temperatures.

When using steam table pans, it's important to properly label and organize the food to ensure food safety and prevent cross-contamination. Additionally, steam table pans should be regularly cleaned and sanitized to maintain hygiene standards in the kitchen.

Overall, steam table pans are a versatile and practical tool for food preparation and serving in commercial kitchens.
