Plastic Drain Shelf Carlisle FoodService Products 1/4 Size Clear Pan

Description

Product Overview

The Carlisle FoodService Plastic Drain Shelf is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of commercial food service environments. Constructed from high‑clarity, food‑grade polyethylene, the shelf offers exceptional durability while maintaining a transparent appearance that allows staff to monitor liquid levels at a glance. Measuring 8.13 inches in length, 4.2 inches in width, and a slim 0.56‑inch height, the shelf provides a low‑profile platform that fits seamlessly beneath standard 1/4 size clear food pans. Weighing just 1.28 ounces, it is lightweight enough for easy handling yet robust enough to support the weight of full‑size pans without warping. The product bears the model number 3069507 and has been a reliable component of Carlisle’s extensive food service lineup since its introduction in early 2016. Its design incorporates a recessed drainage channel that directs excess liquid away from the pan, reducing the risk of spills and promoting a cleaner workspace. The clear construction also ensures that any contaminants are easily visible, supporting stringent hygiene standards required in professional kitchens.

Usage

Designed for versatility, this drain shelf excels in a variety of settings where efficient liquid management is critical. In restaurant kitchens, it can be placed under sauce pans, stock pots, and butter trays to capture runoff during cooking, cooling, or plating processes. Cafeterias and institutional food service operations benefit from its ability to accommodate multiple pans simultaneously, streamlining the cleaning workflow and minimizing the need for frequent floor mopping. Catering teams on the go find the lightweight nature of the shelf advantageous for transport and rapid setup at off‑site events. The shelf’s transparent material also makes it ideal for use in food preparation areas where visual inspection of liquids is required for quality control. Whether used in a high‑volume fast‑food kitchen, a fine‑dining establishment, or a school cafeteria, the drain shelf provides a reliable, low‑maintenance solution that enhances operational efficiency and supports compliance with health regulations.
