Best Plastic Food Pans for Commercial Kitchens
Want to keep your ingredients organized, fresh, and ready to go? Plastic food pans do exactly that. These pans are designed for use in refrigerated prep tables, salad bars, pizza stations, and cold storage setups, making it easy to store and access ingredients throughout a busy service.
Whether you're running a restaurant, deli, cafeteria, pizzeria, or catering operation, plastic food pans help streamline your prep work and keep your kitchen organized. From diced vegetables and shredded cheese to sauces and deli meats, these pans keep everything visible, accessible, and stored at food-safe temperatures.
At GoFoodservice, we offer plastic food pans from trusted brands like Araven, Cambro, Thunder Group, and Winco. From full-size pans to fractional sizes like 1/2, 1/3, 1/6, and 1/9, you'll find clear, amber, and high-heat options to fit your equipment and workflow.
Why Choose Plastic Food Pans?
If you ask a line cook or prep chef what keeps their station running smoothly, organized ingredients are always near the top of the list. When everything has a place and is easy to grab, service moves faster and mistakes happen less often. Plastic food pans make that organization possible.
Beyond organization, plastic food pans are lightweight, durable, and easy to clean. They're designed to fit standard prep tables and cold food bars, so you can swap them in and out as needed. Many are made from polycarbonate or polypropylene, which resists cracking, staining, and odors even after heavy use. High-heat options are also available for hot holding applications.
Isn't it better to invest in food pans that can handle the demands of a commercial kitchen day after day? That's exactly what quality plastic food pans deliver.
What to Look for in Plastic Food Pans
When shopping for plastic food pans, not just any pan will do. You need ones that fit your equipment, handle your ingredients, and hold up under daily use.
Some things to consider when choosing plastic food pans include:
- Pan size (full, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/9) based on your prep table or holding unit
- Depth (2.5", 4", 6", 8") depending on ingredient volume
- Material (polycarbonate, polypropylene, or high-heat) based on your application
- Clear vs. colored options for visibility or light protection
- Solid vs. perforated (colander) pans for draining
- NSF certification for food safety compliance
- And more!
Plastic food pans are a smart investment for any commercial kitchen. Not only do they keep your ingredients organized and accessible, but they also help maintain food safety and streamline your prep workflow.
