Steam table trays are not uniform in their build. This makes them able to accommodate a range of dishes and meal preparation purposes. You might like to consider builds and materials such as: 

Wide with Shallow Depth: These steam pans are ideal for foods that need to be spread out for even cooking or quick steaming, such as fish fillets or vegetables. Their wide surface area allows for more food to be cooked at once without overcrowding, ensuring consistent heat distribution. They are also great for display purposes in buffets, allowing easy access and visibility to the food.

Smaller with Larger Depth: These deeper pans are suited for cooking or holding larger volumes of food, such as stews, soups, or items that need to be stacked, like dumplings. The depth ensures that food stays moist and warm while being able to hold a significant quantity, which is beneficial for high-volume kitchens.

Stainless Steel Pans: Many of our steam table trays are made from stainless steel for good reason. The stainless steel steam pan is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. They are ideal for heavy use in commercial settings and are easy to clean. Their excellent heat conduction properties make them suitable for a wide range of cooking tasks, from steaming to baking.

Polycarbonate Pans: Polycarbonate steam pans are great for cold storage and serving cold dishes, as they maintain temperature well. Their transparent nature allows for easy identification of contents, making them a popular choice for salad bars and cold food displays.

Every eatery will need steam table pans as part of their equipment. They enable efficient food service by keeping dishes warm and ready for serving, ensuring that customers receive their meals at the optimal temperature. Additionally, steam table pans help maintain food quality and freshness, preventing drying out or overcooking.

Steam pans streamline kitchen operations, enabling chefs to organise and portion food efficiently, ultimately contributing to smoother service and increased productivity, making them invaluable for ensuring seamless restaurant processes.
