Description

Product Overview

When a professional kitchen needs reliable, hygienic equipment, Cambro delivers with a reputation built on decades of food‑service experience. The Cambro Food Pan Drain Shelf GN 1/6 Clear is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of high‑volume operations while maintaining the clarity and visibility that staff rely on for quick inspections. Its clear, impact‑resistant polymer construction allows you to see contents at a glance, reducing the need for additional lighting or handling.

Manufactured from food‑grade, BPA‑free clear plastic, this drain shelf combines durability with a lightweight profile. The material resists cracking, warping, and staining, even after repeated exposure to hot liquids, steam, and rigorous cleaning cycles. The transparent finish also helps maintain a professional appearance, ensuring that the shelf blends seamlessly with other stainless‑steel and clear‑plastic equipment in your line.

Designed specifically for the GN 1/6 pan size, the shelf measures 5.79 inches in length, 5.2 inches in width, and 2.52 inches in height, with a net weight of just 1.44 ounces. These dimensions align perfectly with the standard 1/6 pan footprint, allowing the shelf to sit flush inside storage racks, walk‑in coolers, and prep tables without taking up unnecessary space. The low profile also facilitates stacking, enabling you to maximize vertical storage while keeping the work area organized.</n

Strategically placed drainage holes at the base of the shelf promote rapid liquid removal, preventing soggy food and reducing the risk of cross‑contamination. The holes are sized to allow water to escape quickly while retaining solid food items, making the shelf ideal for rinsing vegetables, draining sauces, or holding cooked items that need to be kept warm but dry. The open‑frame design also encourages airflow, helping to maintain temperature consistency across the stored product.

Every Cambro product undergoes rigorous testing to meet industry standards for food safety and durability. This drain shelf complies with FDA regulations for food‑contact materials and is certified for use in commercial food‑service environments. Its clear construction also simplifies visual inspections for any signs of wear or contamination, supporting your kitchen’s quality‑control protocols.

Usage

In bustling restaurant kitchens, the Cambro GN 1/6 Clear Drain Shelf serves as a versatile workhorse for a variety of tasks. Use it to drain freshly washed produce, allowing excess water to drip away while keeping the vegetables visible for quick sorting. The clear material lets chefs monitor moisture levels without lifting the tray, saving valuable prep time during peak service periods.

For catering operations that require rapid turnover of large quantities, the shelf’s lightweight nature enables staff to move multiple trays quickly between stations. Its compatibility with standard GN 1/6 pans means you can swap pans in and out without adjusting rack dimensions, streamlining the workflow from cooking to plating. The drainage design also works well for draining pasta, soups, or sauces, ensuring that the final dish retains the intended texture.

In institutional settings such as schools, hospitals, and corporate cafeterias, the shelf helps maintain sanitation standards by separating wet and dry food components. By keeping drained items on a clear, easy‑to‑clean surface, you reduce the risk of bacterial growth and simplify the cleaning process. The shelf’s resistance to high temperatures allows it to be placed in dishwashers or sanitized with hot water without degradation.
