Cambro 30CWD135 Camwear Clear Drain Shelf 1/3 Food Pan Dishwasher Safe

Description

Product Overview

The Cambro 30CWD135 Camwear Clear Drain Shelf is a purpose‑built accessory for commercial food service environments where efficiency, durability, and hygiene are paramount. Constructed from high‑impact polycarbonate, the shelf offers crystal‑clear visibility so staff can monitor liquid levels without removing pans. Its virtually unbreakable nature means it can withstand the rigors of daily use, including drops, impacts, and temperature extremes. Measuring 10.6 inches long, 4.7 inches wide, and only 0.8 inches thick, the shelf provides a low‑profile design that fits neatly into standard 1/3 size food pans, making it an ideal companion for a wide range of menu items such as chicken, French fries, noodles, and pasta. The product is both dishwasher and microwave safe, allowing for rapid turnover between service periods and simplifying sanitation protocols.

Usage

In a bustling kitchen, the Cambro clear drain shelf excels in multiple scenarios. When preparing large batches of fried foods, the shelf captures excess oil, keeping the food crisp while preventing cross‑contamination. For noodle or pasta dishes, the transparent design lets chefs quickly assess water levels, ensuring perfect al dente results without the need to lift heavy pans. The shelf’s heat‑resistant polycarbonate material tolerates microwave reheating, so leftovers can be stored and reheated in the same container, reducing waste and saving valuable prep time. Its lightweight construction (approximately 80 grams) makes it easy to handle, yet its sturdy build ensures it will not crack under the weight of typical food loads. Whether used in a cafeteria line, a fast‑casual restaurant, or a large institutional kitchen, the shelf supports high‑volume service while maintaining food safety standards.
