Clover Kitchenware

The Clover Japanese chef tray is a compact stainless steel prep and serving tray manufactured in Japan from 18/8 grade stainless steel. It is a well-established item in professional kitchens, commonly used for portioning, mise en place, cold larder work, and small-batch preparation. The format is practical rather than decorative — a shallow, flat tray that sits neatly on a prep bench or pass.

In a working kitchen environment, 18/8 stainless steel holds up well to repeated handling, temperature changes, and daily dishwasher cycles. The tray resists corrosion and surface staining under normal commercial use, and at 250g it is light enough to handle comfortably during a busy service without adding fatigue. The shallow profile makes it easy to stack in multiples without taking up significant storage space.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Dishwasher safe — straightforward to clean between uses
• Non-reactive surface suitable for acidic and protein-based preparations
• Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue during repetitive tasks
• Compact footprint fits standard prep bench and pass layouts
• Durable 18/8 stainless steel resists rust and surface corrosion

This is a single-size tray with no gas, electrical, or water connections required. There are no installation considerations beyond standard storage and cleaning provision. It is not a roasting or high-heat oven tray — it is best suited to cold prep, portioning, and pass work rather than direct oven use.

This tray suits kitchens of any size that need reliable, durable smallwares for everyday prep and service. If you require a larger format or deeper tray for different applications, alternatives are available in the range.

If you are unsure whether this size is right for your workflow, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Clover Japanese Chef Tray is a compact stainless steel prep and serving tray, manufactured in Japan from 18/8 stainless steel. It is a well-established piece of smallware used across professional kitchens for mise en place, portioning, and short-order service work. The 227x316mm footprint keeps it practical on busy prep benches without taking up unnecessary space.

In daily kitchen use, this tray holds up well to the demands of a working service. The 18/8 grade stainless steel resists rust and staining, which matters in wet prep environments where trays are handled frequently and washed repeatedly. At 350g it is light enough to handle with one hand during service, while still feeling substantial enough to stack and store reliably.

• Rust-resistant 18/8 stainless steel withstands repeated commercial washing cycles
• Lightweight at 350g, practical for single-handed use during service
• Compact footprint works well on busy prep benches and pass areas
• Dishwasher safe, reducing manual cleaning time between services
• Suitable for prep, portioning, plating components, and short-order display

There are no special installation requirements for a tray of this type. It is worth considering whether this size suits your intended use — the 227x316mm format is a good general-purpose prep tray, but kitchens that routinely handle larger prep volumes or bigger portion sizes may find a larger format more practical.

This tray is well suited to professional kitchens of any size where a reliable, everyday prep and service tray is needed. It is a particularly practical choice for pass areas, plating stations, and mise en place setups. If you are equipping a kitchen and want to confirm the right size or quantity for your setup, the team is happy to help.

This is the genuine Clover replacement lid designed specifically for the large insert of the Clover Japanese Yakumi pan. Made from 18/8 stainless steel, it fits the large insert precisely and is intended to keep prepped ingredients covered and protected during service.

In a working kitchen, a properly fitting lid on a Yakumi insert does more than simply cover the contents. It reduces moisture loss from prepped garnishes and condiments, helps maintain ingredient quality during a long service period, and prevents cross-contamination between adjacent inserts on the prep station. Stainless steel is non-reactive, so it will not taint the flavour or appearance of delicate ingredients such as herbs, citrus, or sauces.

The practical advantages of having the correct lid to hand include:

• Secure fit prevents accidental spillage during station reset or movement
• Stainless construction resists staining and odours after repeated use
• Compatible lids allow Yakumi inserts to be stacked for compact storage between services
• Easy to clean by hand or through a commercial dishwasher without warping or discolouration

There are no installation requirements for this accessory. It is worth confirming you have the large Yakumi insert before ordering, as Clover produces lids for multiple insert sizes and an incorrect fit will leave gaps that defeat the purpose of covering ingredients during service.

This lid suits any kitchen using the Clover large Yakumi insert — from sushi and Japanese cuisine operations to modern prep stations where garnish organisation is important. If you are building out a full Yakumi setup or are unsure which insert size you are working with, the team is happy to help you confirm the right combination before you order.

The Clover Japanese Chef Tray is a compact stainless steel prep and serving tray, produced in Japan and made from 18/8 stainless steel. It has been in use in professional kitchens for many years and has a straightforward reputation for being reliable and well-made. The 202x287mm size makes it a practical mid-sized tray for mise en place, portioning, small-batch prep, or passing food along a service line.

In a working kitchen environment, trays like this are handled constantly — stacked, dropped, scrubbed, and loaded with ingredient weight throughout a shift. The 18/8 grade stainless construction resists rust and staining reliably under these conditions, and the tray holds its shape without warping over time. Its lightweight build means it causes minimal fatigue during prolonged prep work without sacrificing durability.

Practically speaking, this tray suits a wide range of daily kitchen tasks:

• Mise en place organisation at the prep or pass station
• Portioning and presenting ingredients before service
• Cold-side display or deli counter use
• Dishwasher-safe for quick turnaround between services
• Stackable storage to keep the kitchen tidy between uses

There are no complex installation requirements — this is a standalone smallware. It is worth considering, however, whether the 202x287mm footprint suits your specific workflow; kitchens handling larger batch prep or higher covers may find a larger tray format more practical, while smaller operations or tight stations may find this size ideal.

This tray suits professional kitchens of most sizes — from small independent restaurants through to larger operations that need consistent, workhorse prep equipment. If you are equipping a new section or replacing ageing smallwares across a kitchen, it is worth having a conversation about quantities and whether the size is the right match for your stations.

The Clover Japanese chef tray is a compact stainless steel prep tray originating from Japan, where this style of flat, lipped tray has been a kitchen staple for decades. Made from 18/8 stainless steel, it is intended for professional kitchen use as a mise en place tray, a small prep surface, or a component tray during service.

In a working kitchen, trays like this earn their place through sheer reliability. The 18/8 grade stainless steel resists staining and corrosion even with repeated washing, and the construction is robust enough to handle the routine handling of a busy prep section. At 200g it is light enough to pass between sections without adding unnecessary weight to a crowded bench.

Practical advantages in day-to-day kitchen use include:

• Dishwasher safe — straightforward to clean at end of service
• Rust-resistant stainless steel holds up to daily commercial use
• Lightweight enough for pass and prep work without fatigue
• Smooth surface is easy to wipe down between tasks

There are no installation requirements for a tray of this type, but it is worth considering how many you need before ordering. In most kitchens these trays are used in multiples — one per station is rarely sufficient. The 158x218mm footprint suits individual portioning and small ingredient staging rather than bulk prep.

This tray is well suited to professional kitchens of any size where small-scale mise en place organisation matters. For larger prep volumes or bulk ingredient holding, a bigger tray format would be more practical.

If you are stocking a new kitchen section and want to talk through quantities or tray sizes, the team is happy to help.

The Clover Japanese Mesh Drip Rack is a compact stainless steel insert designed to sit within the Clover Japanese chef tray. Its primary function is simple: raise food clear of the tray surface to allow airflow beneath, making it suitable for both grilling and draining applications. Constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, the mesh maintains its shape under heat and repeated use without warping.

In a working kitchen, this kind of accessory earns its place through reliability rather than complexity. The mesh sits on small feet that keep it stable within the tray, and the stiff construction means it holds its form even under the weight of denser cuts or repeated heat cycles. It is a practical addition for operations that already work with Clover Japanese trays and want to extend their utility without introducing separate cookware.

• Raises food off the tray surface to promote all-round airflow during grilling
• Suitable for draining applications where liquid run-off needs to clear the food
• 18/8 stainless steel construction resists warping from heat or load
• Small feet provide stable positioning within the Clover Japanese chef tray
• Easy to clean and maintain in a busy kitchen environment

This rack is sized specifically to pair with the Clover Japanese chef tray system. It is not a standalone item and is only suitable for use within that tray format. If your kitchen operates at a scale that demands heavier-gauge cookware or different tray dimensions, it is worth discussing the broader Clover range before ordering.

If you are building out a Clover Japanese tray setup and want to confirm compatibility with your current kitchen kit, the team is happy to help you get the configuration right.

The Clover Japanese mesh drip rack is a companion piece to the Clover Japanese chef tray, designed to sit inside it and raise food clear of the tray surface. The mesh construction allows liquids to drain freely away from food during prep or service, and promotes airflow on all sides during grilling — which supports more even cooking results than placing food directly on a flat tray.

Made from 18/8 stainless steel, the mesh is notably rigid for its size. This matters in a working kitchen: lightweight mesh inserts often distort under heat or when pressed down with tongs or a spatula, but this rack holds its shape reliably through normal service use. The small feet that raise it off the tray base also help keep the underside of the rack clean and prevent food from sitting in pooled liquid.

In practical terms, this rack is most useful for kitchens already working with the Clover Japanese tray system. It extends what that tray can do — functioning as a draining rack during prep, a grilling or roasting insert during cooking, and a resting surface during service.

• Suitable for grilling, draining, and resting applications
• Rigid mesh construction resists warping under heat and pressure
• Small feet elevate food and keep the underside clear
• Simple to clean and store alongside the matching tray

This is a straightforward, single-purpose piece of kit — there is not much complexity to the buying decision, but if you are building out a Clover Japanese tray system and want to check compatibility or discuss quantity requirements, the team is happy to help.

The Clover Japanese Chef Tray is a compact stainless steel prep and service tray made in Japan from 18/8 grade stainless steel. At 140x200mm it sits at the smaller end of the chef tray range, making it a practical choice for mise en place, portioning, ingredient staging, or tableside service presentation.

In a working kitchen environment, this tray earns its place through sheer versatility. Its compact footprint suits tight prep benches and pass-through counters where space is at a premium. The 18/8 stainless steel construction resists rust and staining under regular commercial use, and at 150g it handles easily during fast-paced service without adding fatigue.

• Compact size suits ingredient staging and portioned prep work
• 18/8 stainless steel resists rust and staining in daily commercial use
• Lightweight enough for repeated handling during busy service periods
• Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between services
• Clean, unbranded finish works equally well front-of-house and back-of-house

There are no electrical or installation requirements to consider. The tray works on any flat surface and goes straight into a commercial dishwasher, which keeps turnaround time short when you need the same tray back in service quickly. Its low profile and simple rectangular form also make it easy to stack and store when not in use.

This tray is well suited to professional kitchens looking for a reliable, no-fuss stainless prep or service piece with a proven track record. It is a particularly sensible choice where multiple trays are needed across a brigade. Larger sizes are available within the Clover range if you need a greater surface area for plating or display work.

If you're unsure which size or quantity is right for your operation, we're happy to talk it through.

This is the genuine Clover replacement or additional lid for the small insert of the Clover Japanese Yakumi pan. Made from 18/8 stainless steel, it is designed to sit flush on the small insert and provide a clean, hygienic cover when the pan is in use, between services, or in storage.

In a working kitchen, Yakumi pans are used to hold prepped garnishes, sauces, and mise en place close to the pass. Having a proper-fitting lid matters — it keeps ingredients fresh during quiet periods, reduces cross-contamination risk, and allows multiple loaded inserts to be stacked neatly in the fridge or on a shelf rather than occupying separate containers. The 18/8 stainless steel construction is non-reactive, so it will not affect the flavour or colour of delicate ingredients such as citrus, acidic dressings, or fresh herbs.

Stainless steel also cleans quickly and thoroughly, withstands high-temperature dishwasher cycles, and does not absorb staining or odours over repeated use — a practical advantage in kitchens running a full service every day.

It is worth confirming the insert size before ordering. This lid is sized for the small insert only and will not fit the large insert, which requires its own corresponding lid. If you are building out or replenishing a Yakumi pan setup and are unsure which inserts or lids you need, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Clover Japanese mesh drip rack is a companion insert designed for use with the Clover Japanese chef tray system. Constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, it sits within the tray on small raised feet, lifting food clear of the surface to allow airflow and drainage during cooking or resting.

In a working kitchen, that small elevation makes a practical difference. Fat and moisture drain away from the food rather than pooling beneath it, which supports more even heat circulation during grilling and helps maintain a better surface texture when resting cooked items before service. The rigid mesh construction resists warping under heat and weight, which matters when the rack is moving in and out of a busy pass or oven repeatedly through a service period.

• Raises food off the tray surface, promoting all-round airflow during cooking
• Supports grilling and draining without the need for separate equipment
• Rigid mesh holds its shape under heat and load over repeated use
• 18/8 stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and maintain
• Small feet keep the rack stable within the tray during service

This rack is intended specifically for use within the Clover Japanese chef tray system and is sized accordingly at 178x258mm. It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing tray before ordering, particularly if you are building out a set.

Well suited to professional kitchens already using the Clover Japanese tray range — yakitori-style operations, izakaya-influenced menus, or any kitchen where the tray system is already in use for grilling or serving. If you need to equip a larger volume of covers, it is worth discussing how many units your service flow realistically requires.

If you have questions about fitting this into your existing tray setup, we are happy to talk it through.

The Clover yakumi pan is a Japanese-style condiment and ingredient holder used widely in professional kitchens for organising mise en place at the pass or on the prep bench. This set includes four large inserts, each sitting within a single stainless steel outer pan, allowing ingredients, garnishes, or condiments to be arranged neatly and kept accessible throughout service.

In a busy kitchen environment, having sauces, toppings, or prepared components within arm's reach without cluttering the bench makes a tangible difference to the pace and accuracy of plating. The yakumi format keeps individual ingredients separated and easy to swap out mid-service, which suits high-throughput operations where consistency matters and downtime to restock or reorganise needs to be minimal.

• Four large inserts allow separation of multiple ingredients or condiments
• Removable inserts simplify cleaning between services
• 18/8 stainless steel construction handles daily commercial use reliably
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
• Compatible with full-size and half-size insert configurations for flexible arrangement

Being dishwasher safe and fully detachable, the inserts cause no particular cleaning overhead — they can go through the rack at the end of a shift without any special handling. The 18/8 stainless steel construction is well suited to the heat, moisture, and general demands of a working kitchen, and will not corrode or stain under normal conditions.

This size works well for smaller pass stations, sushi preparation, small plates service, or any setup where compactness matters. Kitchens with a larger number of components to manage at once may want to consider a wider or multi-pan arrangement to match the volume of mise en place required.

If you are unsure whether this configuration suits your service setup, the team is happy to talk through what works best for your kitchen.

The Clover yakumi pan is a Japanese-style condiment and ingredient holder designed for structured mise en place during kitchen prep and service. It holds six large individual inserts, keeping garnishes, sauces, and prepped ingredients organised, separated, and accessible at the pass or on the prep bench.

In a busy kitchen, having ingredients prepped and ready in a consistent layout reduces errors and speeds up plating. The yakumi format is particularly well established in Japanese and fusion kitchens, though it is equally practical in any environment where multiple components need to be held within easy reach during service — sushi counters, teppanyaki stations, and high-volume à la carte kitchens being common examples.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Six large inserts allow separation of multiple ingredients without cluttering the bench
• Inserts are individually removable, making restocking and cleaning straightforward
• Dishwasher safe — both the pan and inserts can go through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher
• Constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, which resists staining, odour transfer, and daily commercial use
• Compact footprint suits tight prep areas and pass counters

The pan sits at 60mm deep and spans 330mm wide, keeping it practical for counter use without consuming excessive space. At 1kg, it is light enough to reposition easily during service. The inserts are a consistent size throughout, so there is no variation to manage when restocking mid-service.

This model is well suited to kitchens running a moderate number of garnishes or accompaniments. If your operation requires a higher number of inserts or a mix of large and small compartments, it is worth considering alternative configurations before ordering.

If you are unsure whether this arrangement suits your service style or station layout, our team is happy to help you work through it.

A yakumi pan is a Japanese-style condiment and ingredient holder designed to keep prepped components organised and accessible at the pass or prep station. This Clover model holds six small inserts within a single tray, giving the kitchen team a structured way to store garnishes, seasonings, sauces, or finely prepped ingredients during service without reaching across the bench or breaking workflow.

In a busy kitchen environment, having ingredients arranged and immediately to hand makes a meaningful difference to the pace and consistency of plating. The six-insert configuration suits operations where a number of small-volume components are used repeatedly across multiple dishes — sushi and Japanese cuisine being the obvious fit, but the format works equally well in any kitchen running a garnish-heavy menu or tasting plates.

The inserts are removable, which keeps cleaning straightforward. Both the tray and inserts are dishwasher safe, and the 18/8 stainless steel construction holds up well to the demands of daily commercial use without corroding or warping over time.

• Six individual inserts keep components clearly separated during service
• Removable inserts allow quick changeover between services
• 18/8 stainless steel resists corrosion in wet prep environments
• Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-service cleaning
• Compatible with full-size and half-size insert formats for flexible configuration

This size suits smaller prep stations and à la carte kitchens. For sites running high covers or requiring a greater number of ingredient sections simultaneously, a larger or multi-tray arrangement may be worth considering.

If you're unsure which insert configuration best fits your pass or prep setup, we're happy to talk it through.

The Clover Japanese mesh drip rack is a purpose-made insert designed to sit within the Clover Japanese chef tray. Its raised mesh surface lifts food clear of the tray base, allowing air and heat to circulate underneath during grilling, and enabling liquid to drain freely away from the food when used for resting or draining.

In practice, this kind of airflow makes a meaningful difference during service. Whether grilling proteins or resting cooked items before plating, having all-round heat exposure and a clear drainage path helps produce more consistent results and keeps the tray itself cleaner throughout the session.

• Raised mesh surface promotes airflow on all sides during grilling
• Allows liquid to drain cleanly away from food whilst resting
• Constructed from 18/8 stainless steel for rigidity and longevity
• Small integrated feet keep the mesh correctly positioned within the tray
• Resists warping under heat and the weight of ingredients

The rack is made from 18/8 stainless steel throughout, which gives it the rigidity needed to hold its shape under heat and load. Mesh inserts of lesser construction can distort over time, making them harder to clean and less reliable in use — the stainless build here avoids that.

This rack is suited to any professional kitchen already working with Clover Japanese chef trays. It is a straightforward addition rather than a standalone piece, so if you are not yet using the matching tray system, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering. If you have questions about building out a Clover tray setup for your kitchen, the team is happy to help you piece it together correctly.

A yakumi pan is a sectioned condiment and ingredient tray used to keep prepped components organised and accessible during service. This Clover model holds eight small inserts within a single stainless steel outer tray, making it a practical choice for stations where mise en place discipline matters — sushi counters, garnish rails, prep lines, and à la carte service positions.

In a working kitchen environment, the real value of a well-made yakumi pan is consistency under pressure. Having sauces, garnishes, or seasoning components portioned and immediately to hand reduces handling time and helps chefs maintain output during busy covers. The removable inserts allow individual sections to be swapped out, replenished, or sent for cleaning without disrupting the rest of the station.

• Eight individual inserts for flexible ingredient separation
• Removable inserts simplify mid-service replenishment and cleaning
• 18/8 stainless steel construction resists staining and corrosion
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
• Compact tray format sits neatly on prep counters or cold wells

There are no installation requirements — this is a countertop item. It is worth confirming your available counter space against the tray dimensions before ordering, particularly on compact stations. The tray is designed to sit flat on a surface or cold well; it is not a drop-in GN insert.

This pan suits smaller operations or single-station setups well. For kitchens running multiple stations simultaneously or requiring larger insert capacities, a bigger configuration may be worth considering.

If you are unsure which insert arrangement best fits your station layout or service style, we are happy to help you work it out before you order.

The Clover Yakumi Pan is a stainless steel condiment and ingredient holder designed for structured mise en place work. It consists of a shallow outer pan that accepts a set of smaller individual inserts, allowing ingredients, garnishes, sauces, or condiments to be separated, organised, and kept accessible throughout service. The pan and inserts are constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, which offers reliable corrosion resistance and holds up well in the damp, demanding conditions of a working kitchen pass or prep station.

In practice, yakumi pans are well suited to any kitchen where order and speed of access matter during service. Sushi and Japanese cuisine operations use them as a matter of course, but they are equally practical in any prep environment where a cook needs condiments or finishing ingredients close to hand without cluttering the workstation. The individual inserts can be lifted out independently, which means a section can be restocked or swapped without disrupting the rest of the setup.

• Twelve small inserts allow fine separation of multiple ingredients or condiments
• Fully detachable inserts simplify restocking and mid-service cleaning
• 18/8 stainless steel construction resists staining and handles repeated washing
• Dishwasher safe, reducing cleaning time at the end of service
• Compact footprint suits tight pass or prep station arrangements

At 850g, the pan is light enough to reposition easily but solid enough to sit stably on a flat surface. There are no installation requirements — it needs only a clean, level surface with sufficient depth to accommodate the inserts without obstruction from overhanging shelving or sneeze guards.

This size works well for small to medium covers where a modest range of condiments is needed. Operations with higher throughput or a broader ingredient range may find a larger pan format more practical. If you are unsure which configuration suits your setup, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Clover Japanese mesh drip rack is a companion insert designed for use with the Clover Japanese chef tray system. Its open mesh surface lifts food clear of the tray base, allowing air and heat to circulate underneath during grilling or cooking, and enabling liquids to drain away freely rather than pooling around the food.

Constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, the mesh is rigid enough to hold its shape under regular use and resists warping from sustained oven heat or the weight of ingredients placed on it. In a working kitchen environment, that structural integrity matters — a rack that distorts becomes awkward to handle, uneven in use, and harder to clean.

Practically speaking, this rack earns its place through the consistency it brings to preparation and cooking workflows:

• Promotes even heat distribution by lifting food off a solid base
• Allows fat and liquid to drain during cooking or resting
• Small feet keep the mesh stable and prevent slipping on the tray
• Stainless steel construction cleans easily and withstands repeat washing
• Rigid mesh maintains shape under heat and load

This is a straightforward, well-made piece of smallware suited to kitchens already using the Clover Japanese tray system. It is not a standalone item — it works as part of that system, and its value is in the versatility it adds to a tray you may already be using for multiple prep and service tasks.

If you are building out a Clover Japanese tray setup or want to check compatibility with your current kit, the team is happy to help you piece it together correctly.

The Clover yakumi pan is a Japanese-style condiment and ingredient holder used in professional kitchens to keep prepared mise en place organised and accessible during service. The unit holds three large inserts, each sitting securely within the outer pan, and is designed to sit on a prep surface or alongside a cutting station where ingredients need to be within easy reach.

Constructed from 18/8 stainless steel, the pan and inserts are well suited to the rigours of a busy kitchen environment — resistant to staining, corrosion, and the repeated handling that comes with high-volume prep. The inserts lift out cleanly, making it straightforward to refresh ingredients between services or move sections to a different part of the line without disturbing the rest of the setup.

• Keeps prepped ingredients separated and accessible during service
• Removable inserts simplify restocking and cross-contamination control
• Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between shifts
• Stainless steel construction withstands regular commercial use
• Compact footprint suits tight prep surfaces and sushi bars

Yakumi pans are most commonly found in sushi restaurants, Japanese kitchens, and any operation where a high number of small garnishes or condiments need to be presented cleanly at the pass or prep station. The three-large-insert configuration suits operations with a moderate number of components; kitchens running a more extensive mise en place may want to consider a pan with additional or smaller-format inserts to suit their workflow.

If you are unsure whether this configuration fits your prep layout or service style, the team is happy to talk it through with you.
