£15.81(£18.97 inc VAT)
This is a full-size 1/1 gastronorm drain shelf made from polycarbonate, designed to sit inside a standard GN container and keep food raised above any liquid that accumulates during storage or service. The perforated surface allows juices, brine, and meltwater to drain away freely beneath the food, which helps maintain better product quality and presentation over time.
In practice, drain shelves like this one earn their place in cold rooms, prep fridges, and on carvery or buffet counters where proteins, cooked vegetables, or dressed salads need to be held without sitting in their own liquid. Cambro's polycarbonate construction is well regarded in professional kitchens for handling knocks and drops without cracking, and the material tolerates a wide temperature range — useful whether a container is moving from a blast chiller to a bain-marie or being stored during a busy service cycle.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Fits standard 1/1 GN containers — confirm compatibility with your existing container range before ordering
- Dishwasher safe, which keeps clean-down straightforward
- Lightweight at under 500g, so it adds minimal load when stacking
- Polycarbonate is resistant to staining and odour absorption with normal use
- Not suitable for use above 99°C, so direct oven use is not appropriate
This shelf is a simple, reliable solution for kitchens that store or hold food in GN containers and want to manage liquid accumulation without additional equipment. It suits most commercial settings — from hotel kitchens to contract catering operations — where standard 1/1 GN containers are already in use.
If you are unsure whether this fits your existing container setup, or if you are looking to build out a complete GN storage system, our team is happy to help you work through the options.
£7.63(£9.16 inc VAT)
This Vogue drainer tray is a simple stainless steel insert designed to sit at the base of a half-size gastronorm container. Its perforated surface allows excess liquid to drain away from food, keeping ingredients separated from their own juices during storage or service. It is a straightforward accessory that addresses a common practical problem in prep and cold storage.
In a working kitchen, moisture build-up around stored proteins, cooked vegetables, or prepped salad ingredients accelerates deterioration and affects presentation when it comes to plating. A drainer tray reduces that contact, which helps maintain ingredient quality over a service period and reduces waste from premature spoilage. It is particularly useful in bain-marie setups, cold prep stations, and portioning lines where liquids would otherwise pool at the base of the GN.
- Fits standard half-size gastronorm containers for straightforward compatibility
- Perforated base separates liquids from solids during storage or service
- Constructed from 201 stainless steel for durability under daily kitchen use
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient cleaning and food hygiene standards
- Lightweight at 264g, easy to handle and reposition during busy service
Being dishwasher safe is worth noting for busy operations — it means the tray can cycle through the pot wash without extra handling or hand-cleaning, which matters when turnaround time between services is tight.
This type of insert is well suited to any commercial kitchen using standard GN containers for storage or service — catering companies, hotel kitchens, contract caterers, and prep kitchens will all find a use for it. If you are equipping multiple stations or need full-size GN drainer trays, other sizes are available in the range.
If you are unsure which drainer tray size works best with your current GN setup, we are happy to help you work through it.
£3.65(£4.38 inc VAT)
The Cambro FreshPro Red Drain Shelf is a polycarbonate insert designed to sit inside compatible FreshPro CamSquare food storage containers, holding ingredients elevated above any liquid that accumulates at the base. By keeping produce, proteins, or prepped ingredients clear of their own juices, it slows spoilage and helps maintain the quality of stored food between prep and service.
In a working kitchen, this kind of small detail makes a practical difference. Marinaded proteins that sit in pooled liquid deteriorate faster; washed salad leaves pressed against a wet base become soggy before service; prepped vegetables left submerged lose texture and yield. Keeping ingredients lifted off the base is a straightforward step that protects product quality through a full prep-to-service cycle, and over time that adds up to less waste and more usable yield from each delivery.
- Colour-coded in red to match container graduations, reducing handling errors during a busy prep shift
- Compatible with 5.7 litre and 7.6 litre FreshPro CamSquare containers
- Polycarbonate construction handles temperatures from -40°C to 70°C, suitable for both freezer storage and ambient or refrigerated prep areas
- Lightweight at 100g — easy to handle, clean, and move between containers
- Dishwasher safe for fast turnover between uses
These drain shelves are sold individually; containers and covers are purchased separately. They are a minor addition to any prep storage setup, but the kind that experienced kitchen teams tend to adopt once they see the difference in ingredient condition at the start of service.
If you are looking to standardise your prep storage system or are unsure which FreshPro components fit your current containers, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£5.11(£6.13 inc VAT)
This is a polycarbonate drainer plate designed to sit inside a full-size 1/1 gastronorm container. It lifts food clear of the base so that liquid, brine, or natural juices drain through the perforations and collect beneath, keeping the food above it rather than sitting in pooled liquid. It is a straightforward, practical accessory used across prep, storage, and service situations in commercial kitchens.
In daily kitchen use, drainer plates earn their place in cold storage and preparation workflows. Proteins held overnight will release liquid; vegetables blanched and cooled need to drain quickly. A drainer plate handles both without requiring a separate colander or additional handling step. The polycarbonate construction is rated across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for both refrigerated storage and situations where food is held at moderate warmth.
Practical advantages in the kitchen include:
- Keeps stored food clear of accumulated liquid, supporting food hygiene standards
- Reduces handling steps during prep — drain in the same container you store in
- Dishwasher safe, so it cycles through pot wash without special treatment
- Compatible with standard 1/1 polycarbonate GN trays already in circulation
- Lightweight at 400g, easy to reposition and stack without adding bulk
There are no installation requirements. This plate drops into any standard 1/1 GN polycarbonate container and is immediately usable. It is worth confirming compatibility with your existing gastronorm trays before ordering, as drainer plates are sized to fit specific container ranges — this plate is designed for the 1/1 polycarbonate GN format, not stainless steel GN containers.
This accessory suits any commercial kitchen that uses 1/1 polycarbonate gastronorm containers as part of its storage or prep system. If your operation runs predominantly stainless GN containers, a stainless drainer insert would be the appropriate choice instead.
If you are unsure which drainer format fits your existing container stock, we are happy to help you work that out before you order.
£2.51(£3.01 inc VAT)
This drainer plate is designed to sit inside a 1/2 GN polycarbonate gastronorm tray, allowing liquid to drain away from food during storage or prep. It is a straightforward, functional item — nothing more complex than it needs to be — but getting the right drainer for the right tray makes a practical difference in daily kitchen organisation.
Made from polycarbonate, the plate is lightweight and resistant to the kind of accidental drops that would crack or chip a ceramic or glass alternative. It stays cool to the touch, which is useful when handling refrigerated trays during busy service. The wide temperature tolerance means it moves reliably between cold storage and ambient prep environments without warping or distorting.
The practical advantages for kitchen teams include:
- Allows excess liquid to drain away, keeping food presentation cleaner
- Lightweight construction reduces handling fatigue during busy prep
- Polycarbonate material is virtually unbreakable under normal kitchen use
- Remains cool to the touch when used in cold storage applications
- Compatible with standard 1/2 GN polycarbonate gastronorm trays
These drainer plates stack neatly when not in use, keeping storage orderly. They are straightforward to clean and dry quickly, which helps with rapid turnaround between service periods. It is worth noting that compatible stackable lids are available separately if covered cold storage is required.
This plate suits kitchens already using 1/2 GN polycarbonate trays for salad prep, protein storage, or buffet service. It is a simple addition to an existing gastronorm system rather than a standalone solution. If you are setting up a full gastronorm storage system from scratch, it is worth confirming tray and lid compatibility across your range before ordering.
If you have questions about building out a compatible gastronorm setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£4.33(£5.20 inc VAT)
The Cambro FreshPro Blue Drain Shelf is a polycarbonate insert designed to sit inside compatible FreshPro CamSquare food storage containers, holding produce elevated above any liquid that accumulates at the base. It is a straightforward, practical addition to refrigerated storage rather than a standalone product, and is sold separately from the containers and lids it is intended to work with.
In a working kitchen, moisture build-up in storage containers is one of the more routine causes of premature spoilage — particularly with washed salad leaves, cut vegetables, marinated proteins, and similar high-moisture ingredients. By keeping produce lifted clear of that liquid, the drain shelf helps maintain ingredient quality between prep and service, which over time has a measurable effect on yield and waste levels.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Colour-coded in blue to align with container graduation markings, reducing mix-ups during busy service prep
- Compatible with the 11.4 litre, 17.2 litre, and 20.8 litre FreshPro CamSquare containers
- Polycarbonate construction is rated from -40°C to 70°C, so it passes comfortably through cold storage and light warming cycles
- Lightweight at 150g, making it easy to handle, remove, and clean during turnaround
- Straightforward to clean by hand or through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher
This shelf suits any commercial kitchen that uses the FreshPro CamSquare range as part of its prep and cold storage setup. It is a minor but useful addition for sites where ingredient quality and waste reduction are taken seriously — from hotel kitchens and contract catering operations through to smaller restaurant prep areas. If you are unsure which container sizes or accessories best fit your current storage system, the team is happy to help you work that out.
£3.81(£4.57 inc VAT)
This is a stainless steel drainer plate designed to sit inside a 1/6 gastronorm container. It lifts food away from the base of the GN, allowing excess liquid to drain through the perforations and collect beneath — keeping ingredients drier and in better condition during refrigerated storage or on a cold prep line.
In a working kitchen, moisture accumulation in gastronorm containers is a common cause of quality loss, particularly with proteins, salad ingredients, and par-cooked vegetables. A drainer plate addresses this simply and reliably without any additional equipment or workflow change. The food sits on the plate; the liquid falls away. For busy services where GN contents are refreshed regularly, this helps maintain presentation standards and reduces unnecessary waste.
- Keeps stored ingredients drier, extending usable life
- Reduces liquid pooling in refrigerated GN containers
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Constructed from 201 stainless steel for durability under daily use
- Compatible with standard 1/6 GN containers across most brands
Being a passive accessory with no moving parts, there is very little that can go wrong. It sits in the base of a 1/6 GN and is removed for cleaning — no installation, no configuration, no maintenance beyond routine washing. At 71g it adds negligible weight to a container setup.
This plate suits any kitchen using 1/6 GN containers for ingredient storage or service prep — from small café kitchens to larger operations running multi-pan bain-maries or cold wells. It is a straightforward addition to an existing GN system rather than a standalone purchase decision, though if you are building out a full GN storage setup and are unsure which sizes and accessories to specify, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£6.91(£8.29 inc VAT)
This is a stainless steel drainer plate designed to sit inside a 1/3 gastronorm container. It provides a perforated false bottom that lifts food clear of any liquid that drains through, keeping ingredients drier during refrigerated storage or on the prep line.
In a working kitchen, moisture accumulation in gastronorm containers is a practical problem — it accelerates spoilage, affects texture, and can compromise presentation at service. A drainer plate addresses this directly by allowing juices, brine, or melt-water to pass through and settle below the food, rather than pooling around it. This is particularly useful for proteins, prepared salads, cut fruit, and any ingredient that deteriorates quickly when sitting in its own liquid.
Day-to-day, the main operational advantages are straightforward:
- Extends usable storage life of perishable ingredients
- Keeps prep stations cleaner and reduces cross-contamination risk
- Dishwasher safe, so it cleans alongside standard gastronorm trays without additional handling
- Constructed from 201 stainless steel, which holds up well under regular commercial use and repeated washing cycles
There are no installation requirements — this is a passive accessory that drops into a compatible 1/3 GN container. It is worth checking that your existing containers have sufficient internal depth to accommodate the plate without compromising usable capacity, particularly if you are working with shallower 1/3 GN trays.
This plate is well suited to any kitchen that stores or displays portioned ingredients in gastronorm containers — from deli counters and sandwich prep operations through to high-volume catering kitchens. If your operation runs larger gastronorm formats as standard, drainer plates are available in other GN sizes to match.
If you are unsure which GN accessories work best for your storage setup, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£9.94(£11.93 inc VAT)
This is a full-size gastronorm drainer tray, designed to sit inside a standard GN 1/1 container and allow liquids to drain away from food during storage. It is a straightforward, functional piece of kit — nothing more, nothing less — but one that makes a practical difference in how ingredients are stored and presented ahead of service.
In a working kitchen, excess moisture is a common problem. Proteins release liquid during refrigerated storage, vegetables can weep, and marinated items can become waterlogged if left sitting in their own juices. Placing food on a drainer tray keeps it separated from accumulated liquid at the base of the container, which helps retain texture, extends usable storage life, and reduces the risk of cross-contamination between liquids and other ingredients sharing a cold store.
The tray is constructed from 201 stainless steel, which provides solid day-to-day durability in a prep or cold storage environment. It is dishwasher safe, which keeps cleaning straightforward and supports good hygiene practice without adding to the manual washing load.
- Sits flush inside a GN 1/1 container — no modification needed
- Drain holes allow liquid to pass through freely, keeping food elevated
- Stainless steel construction tolerates heavy handling and repeated washing
- Dishwasher safe for efficient end-of-service cleaning
- Helps maintain ingredient quality during refrigerated storage
This size is suited to kitchens already working with standard GN 1/1 containers. For operations using smaller portion inserts or requiring specific configurations across a range of GN sizes, it is worth checking compatibility with your existing container stock before ordering.
If you are building out a gastronorm storage system and are unsure which combination of trays, inserts, and accessories suits your workflow, the team is happy to help you think it through.
£2.89(£3.47 inc VAT)
The Cambro FreshPro Green Drain Shelf is a simple insert designed to sit inside Cambro's 1.9 litre and 3.8 litre CamSquare FreshPro food storage containers. Its purpose is straightforward: it raises ingredients off the base of the container, keeping them clear of the liquid that naturally collects beneath cut produce, proteins, and other prep items.
In a working kitchen, that separation matters more than it might seem. Produce sitting in its own juices deteriorates more quickly, which affects both quality at service and usable yield. By lifting ingredients away from that moisture, the drain shelf helps slow spoilage and keeps prep fresh for longer — particularly useful for high-turnover items prepped in advance. The shelf's green colour matches the corresponding container graduations, which helps kitchen teams use the right shelf with the right container without having to second-guess it during a busy prep session.
Practical day-to-day advantages include:
- Reduces spoilage by keeping ingredients clear of collected liquids
- Supports better yield from prepped produce and proteins
- Colour-coded green to match container markings, reducing handling errors
- Polycarbonate construction tolerates the temperature range typical of refrigerated storage
- Lightweight and easy to remove, rinse, and replace during service
This is a straightforward addition to an existing CamSquare FreshPro setup — no tools, no installation. It is worth noting that the shelf is sized specifically for the 1.9 litre and 3.8 litre square containers; it will not fit other container sizes or brands. Containers and lids are sold separately.
This shelf suits any commercial kitchen using CamSquare FreshPro containers for cold prep storage — from small café prep areas through to high-volume operations looking to reduce waste across a large container inventory. If you're unsure which Cambro storage accessories best fit your current container setup, the team is happy to help you work it out.
£1.34(£1.61 inc VAT)
This is a 1/9 gastronorm drain shelf made from polycarbonate, designed to sit inside a matching 1/9 GN container. Its purpose is straightforward: it raises food slightly off the base of the container so that liquid, juices, or meltwater can drain away beneath rather than pooling around the food.
In a working kitchen, drain shelves are most commonly used in cold prep and service situations — keeping cut fruit, chilled proteins, or portioned ingredients in better condition over a service period. Without a drain shelf, food sitting in its own liquid deteriorates faster, affects presentation, and can create hygiene concerns during extended holding. The shelf addresses all three without any additional effort from the team.
Practically, this shelf suits kitchens already working with Cambro 1/9 GN containers. It fits flush, is dishwasher safe, and the polycarbonate construction handles the thermal cycling of cold storage and commercial dishwashing without warping or cracking under normal conditions. The rated temperature range covers standard refrigeration through to moderate warmth, making it suitable for most cold-side applications.
- Keeps food raised clear of pooling liquid during storage and service
- Dishwasher safe — straightforward to integrate into standard clean-down routines
- Polycarbonate construction resists cracking under stacked weight
- Compatible with standard 1/9 GN container systems
This is a straightforward, low-cost addition to a GN container system, but it is worth confirming compatibility with your existing containers before ordering. If you are unsure which size or configuration suits your prep or service setup, the team is happy to help.
£2.84(£3.41 inc VAT)
The Cambro FreshPro CamRounds drain shelf is a simple insert designed to sit inside CamRound storage containers, raising fruit, vegetables, and other prepared produce clear of the liquid that accumulates at the base. It is a straightforward accessory, but in a busy prep environment its effect on produce quality and waste levels is worth noting.
By keeping produce elevated and away from standing juices, the shelf helps slow deterioration and preserves texture and colour for longer. In practical terms, this means less trimming and discarding during service prep, which contributes to tighter yield control over time. The green colour coding aligns with the broader FreshPro range, including containers and Easy Seal lids, making it easy for kitchen teams to match components quickly without checking labels — useful when prep areas are busy and staff turnover is a consideration.
From a food safety perspective, the shelf supports good HACCP practice by reducing the need to handle produce repeatedly during storage. It is BPA free and tolerates a wide temperature range, moving between freezer storage and dishwasher cleaning without warping or losing shape — a practical requirement for any item used repeatedly across a shift.
- Reduces produce contact with standing liquid, slowing spoilage
- Colour coded green to match FreshPro containers and Easy Seal covers
- Dishwasher safe and freezer compatible for straightforward daily use
- Supports HACCP routines by minimising unnecessary handling
- BPA free construction suitable for direct food contact
This shelf is a practical addition to any kitchen already using CamRound containers for produce storage. If you are setting up a prep storage system from scratch or want guidance on matching containers, lids, and accessories correctly, the team is happy to help.
£3.56(£4.27 inc VAT)
The Cambro FreshPro CamRounds drain shelf is a simple insert designed to sit inside CamRound storage containers, holding fruit, vegetables and other fresh produce clear of accumulated liquid at the base. It is a straightforward addition to a prep or cold storage workflow, but one that makes a practical difference to yield, food quality and waste control.
In a busy prep environment, produce left sitting in its own juices deteriorates faster, loses texture and colour, and ultimately costs more to work with. Lifting ingredients off the base of the container slows that process, helping fresh produce stay in better condition for longer. The red colour coding matches Cambro's CamRound container range, making it easy for kitchen teams to pair lids, containers and shelves correctly at a glance — particularly useful during high-speed service when the right match needs to be found quickly.
From an operational standpoint, the shelf also supports HACCP routines by reducing unnecessary handling of stored produce. The material tolerates the temperature range typically encountered across a commercial kitchen environment, moving between freezer storage and commercial dishwasher cycles without warping or cracking over time.
- Reduces produce spoilage by keeping ingredients clear of pooled liquid
- Colour-coded red to match CamRound containers and Easy Seal lids
- Withstands freezer and dishwasher temperatures without distortion
- Supports reduced handling and lower cross-contamination risk
- BPA free construction suitable for direct food contact
This shelf suits prep kitchens of most sizes where CamRound containers are already in use. If you are building out a full fresh produce storage system or need guidance on which container sizes and accessories work best together for your operation, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£5.39(£6.47 inc VAT)
This Vogue 1/4 gastronorm drainer tray is a straightforward stainless steel insert designed to sit inside a 1/4 GN container and separate liquid from food during storage. The perforated surface allows juices and excess moisture to drain away from the food above, keeping ingredients in better condition and reducing the risk of sogginess or cross-contamination between liquids and solids.
In a working kitchen, moisture management during cold storage is easy to overlook but has a direct impact on ingredient quality and waste. A drainer tray keeps proteins, vegetables, or prepared components elevated above their own liquid, which is particularly useful for marinated meats, washed produce, or defrosting items where pooling liquid can accelerate deterioration.
- Perforated base separates liquid from food during storage
- Fits 1/4 GN containers and larger GN trays where needed
- Constructed from 201 stainless steel for durability
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning
- Lightweight and easy to handle in a busy cold-storage environment
Being dishwasher safe makes end-of-shift cleaning practical without any additional handling requirements. The stainless steel construction is robust enough for daily commercial use and resists the knocks and stacking pressures typical of a busy prep or storage environment.
This is a useful addition to any kitchen already working with Vogue gastronorm containers, particularly in sites where cold storage organisation and ingredient quality are a priority. It is a simple, reliable accessory rather than a complex piece of equipment — but if you have questions about fitting it into your existing GN system or want to discuss storage solutions more broadly, we are happy to help.
£4.15(£4.98 inc VAT)
The Cambro FreshPro CamRounds drain shelf is a simple insert designed to sit inside compatible CamRound containers and hold fruit, vegetables, or portioned produce elevated above any accumulated liquid. Rather than allowing cut produce to sit in its own juices, the shelf keeps it clear, which slows the deterioration of texture, colour, and shelf life without any additional handling or specialist equipment.
In busy prep kitchens where fresh produce turns over quickly, this kind of passive protection adds up. Ingredients stored correctly from the point of prep tend to last longer, hold their appearance better during service, and generate less trim waste when reviewed at the start of the next shift. For high-volume operations running multiple containers across a prep cycle, those marginal gains in yield and food cost are worth having.
From an operational standpoint, the shelf also supports cleaner HACCP documentation. By keeping produce off the base of the container, there is less direct contact with pooled liquid, which reduces one small but real cross-contamination risk during storage. The shelf moves between freezer and dishwasher without issue, which keeps cleaning simple and consistent.
- Blue colour coding matches FreshPro CamRound containers and Easy Seal lids for quick, accurate identification during service
- Reduces produce spoilage through passive drainage without additional handling
- Dishwasher safe and tolerant of freezer storage, making it straightforward to clean and cycle
- BPA free construction — suitable for direct food contact in professional prep environments
This shelf fits the 11.4, 17.2, and 20.8 litre CamRound container sizes. It is a practical addition to any prep or cold storage setup where fresh produce quality and waste reduction matter. If you are building out a colour-coded storage system or want to check compatibility with your existing containers, the team is happy to help.
£10.99(£13.19 inc VAT)
The Cambro Camview drain grid is a straightforward accessory designed to sit inside a GN 1/1 gastronorm pan and lift food clear of the base. By holding produce above the pan floor, it allows liquid to drain away naturally rather than pooling beneath the food — a small but practically significant difference when it comes to maintaining texture and quality during storage or service.
In a working kitchen, this matters most when holding washed salad leaves, prepped vegetables, marinated proteins, or anything where excess moisture will soften or compromise the product over time. The grid is equally useful in a cold storage context as it is on a buffet or service counter where presentation and food quality need to be maintained across a shift.
A few practical points worth noting:
- Fits Cambro GN 1/1 pans — not a universal fit across all gastronorm brands
- BPA-free polycarbonate construction, safe for direct food contact
- Handles repeated dishwasher cycles without warping or degrading
- Recessed grip points make removal straightforward even with wet hands
- Suited to chilled storage and ambient service temperatures
This is a single-size accessory, so it is worth confirming your pan inventory before ordering in volume. If your operation runs predominantly half-size or fractional GN containers, a different grid size would be the appropriate choice.
If you are unsure which drain grid sizes best match your current pan stock, or whether a different Cambro storage accessory would better suit your workflow, the team is happy to help you work that out before you order.
£4.14(£4.97 inc VAT)
This Cambro drain shelf is a simple, practical insert designed to sit inside a half-size gastronorm pan and allow liquids to drain away from food during storage, transit, or cold display. It is a straightforward piece of kit that solves a common problem in prep and service environments where pooling liquid affects food quality or presentation.
In busy commercial kitchens, drain shelves like this earn their place in salad bars, cold counters, and prep fridges where moisture control matters. They are particularly useful when holding washed vegetables, defrosted proteins, or marinated items that would otherwise sit in their own liquid. The raised shelf keeps the product clear of any collected liquid at the base of the pan, which supports both food quality and hygiene.
- BPA-free polycarbonate construction — safe for direct food contact
- Finger grips at each end for clean, controlled removal
- Suitable for cold storage and chilled display use
- Easy to clean by hand or through a commercial glasswasher or dishwasher
- Fits standard half-size gastronorm pans
There are no installation requirements here — it drops straight into any compatible half GN pan. It is worth confirming the depth of your existing pans before ordering, as very shallow pans may not accommodate the shelf with adequate clearance beneath. For full GN coverage, equivalent inserts are available in other sizes.
This shelf suits any operation using half GN pans for cold storage or display — from hotel kitchens and contract caterers to sandwich bars and deli counters. It is a low-cost addition that pays for itself in reduced food waste and cleaner presentation.
If you are equipping a full gastronorm system and want to make sure you have the right sizes throughout, we are happy to help you work through what you need.
£2.40(£2.88 inc VAT)
This Cambro Camview drain shelf is a simple insert designed to sit inside a 1/3 gastronorm pan and keep food lifted clear of any liquid that collects during storage, transit or display. It is a straightforward piece of kit, but one that makes a practical difference in day-to-day food storage and presentation workflows.
In a busy kitchen, moisture build-up in stored food can affect quality and accelerate spoilage. A drain shelf addresses this directly by allowing liquid to fall away from the product above it, whether that is salad, cooked proteins, chilled garnishes or similar items. The finger grips at each end make removal quick and clean, which matters when staff are working at pace during service prep.
The shelf is made from BPA-free polycarbonate, which is a material commonly used in commercial food contact applications. It is durable under regular commercial use, resistant to impact, and straightforward to clean by hand or through a glasswasher or dishwasher.
- Keeps stored food clear of pooled liquid during storage and transit
- BPA-free construction suitable for direct food contact
- Finger grips at each end for quick, clean removal
- Rated for use across a wide temperature range, covering cold storage through to mild hot-hold
- Sits correctly inside standard 1/3 GN pans without modification
This insert is suited to any operation using 1/3 GN pans for cold storage, chilled display, or transit — from hotel banqueting to deli counters to contract catering. If you are unsure whether this fits your current pan range or need advice on building out a complete GN system, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£1.34(£1.61 inc VAT)
This Cambro drain shelf is a simple polycarbonate insert designed to sit inside a 1/6 gastronorm pan. Its purpose is straightforward: it holds food above the base of the container so that liquid drains away rather than pooling around the product. That matters whether you are storing prepared ingredients in a refrigerator, transporting food between sections, or presenting items on a cold display unit.
In day-to-day kitchen use, drain shelves like this earn their place in prep and service areas where moisture control keeps food presentation consistent and reduces the risk of cross-contamination from accumulated liquid. The finger grips at each end make removal practical even when hands are busy or gloved, which matters during a fast-paced service.
- Fits standard 1/6 GN pans for reliable compatibility across most prep and storage setups
- BPA-free polycarbonate construction suitable for food contact use
- Finger grips at both ends for controlled, one-handed removal
- Temperature-tolerant material suited to both refrigerated storage and warmer holding environments
- Smooth, non-porous surface that cleans easily by hand or through a commercial dishwasher
There are no installation requirements — this is a passive insert that works within your existing gastronorm system. It is worth confirming compatibility with the specific Cambro 1/6 pans already in your operation, as drain shelves are designed to pair with their matching pan range rather than fit universally across all GN manufacturers.
This shelf suits any operation using 1/6 GN containers for storage or display where liquid separation is needed — delis, sandwich bars, salad prep sections, and cold counters are typical settings. If you use a different GN size across your operation, equivalent drain shelves are available in other sizes.
If you are unsure whether this fits the Cambro pans you already hold, feel free to get in touch and we can confirm compatibility before you order.
