A clear polycarbonate drain shelf that sits inside a standard GN 1/9 food pan, lifting the contents off the bottom so juices, melt water, and excess liquid drain underneath rather than pooling around the food. Used across commercial kitchens, salad bars, buffets, and bain-marie service to keep food presentable across long service periods.
The practical use cases are everywhere in food service: keeping marinated meats out of their own juices in a chiller display, lifting cold cuts above the melt water from ice baths, draining washed salad leaves so they don't go soggy at the bottom of the tub, separating defrosting proteins from drip, and keeping fried items crisp by giving the oil somewhere to drain rather than sitting in a puddle. Without a drain shelf, food sitting in liquid loses texture, looks unappetising, and presents a food safety risk over a long service.
The 1/9 GN size is one of the smallest standard gastronorm dimensions — useful for individual condiment pans, sauce stations, single-portion service, and salad bar condiment compartments. Pairs with any standard 1/9 GN food pan from any manufacturer.
Polycarbonate construction handles temperatures from -40°C to 100°C, which covers freezer storage, refrigerated display, hot bain-marie service, and dishwasher cycles. Won't shatter, crack, or stain through years of commercial use, and the clear material lets staff and guests see exactly what's in the pan without lifting the shelf out.
The robust feet and curved end design are practical refinements — feet keep the shelf stable under the weight of food without flexing, and the curved end gives staff a finger-grip for lifting the shelf in and out cleanly during service or cleanup.
Suitable for restaurants, cafés, hotels, function venues, salad bars, delis, and any food service business running gastronorm pans across hot or cold display. Dishwasher and freezer safe.
