In any fast-paced kitchen, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference, and this Cambro H-Pan is a prime example. It’s not flashy, but its sheer reliability is what makes it stand out.

- Mind the Utensils: The polycarbonate surface is tough but can scratch with sharp metal tools.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Northern Bite', a popular takeaway in Leeds, needed to upgrade from their mismatched collection of metal and plastic containers that were cracking and hard to clean. They wanted a uniform, durable solution for their hot holding counter.
"These Cambro pans have been brilliant. They go from the prep fridge to the bain-marie and then into the dishwasher. The staff love them because they're light, and the non-stick surface means less time spent scrubbing stuck-on food at the end of a long shift."
Robert Green – Manager, The Northern Bite
By standardising with the Cambro DW498, the takeaway reduced its end-of-day cleaning routine by over 20 minutes and improved the overall look and efficiency of its service counter.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give it a good wash with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Check that it fits snugly and securely into your steam table or food bar slot.
- Being a commercial high heat GN pan, it's ready for immediate use in microwaves or hot holding units.
- Always allow it to cool slightly before moving or washing to prolong its life.
Keeping It Going
- To clean, use a soft cloth or sponge; avoid steel wool or abrasive scourers.
- Stick to plastic, silicone, or rubber utensils to prevent scratching the non-stick surface.
- The anti-jam design helps with stacking, so store them neatly to save space and prevent damage.
- Regularly check for any deep scratches or cracks, and replace if the surface is compromised.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this pan in the freezer or a blast chiller?
A: Absolutely. It's rated for temperatures down to -40°C, making it perfect for both freezing and rapid chilling.
Q: Is the Cambro DW498 food pan BPA free?
A: Yes, Cambro's high-heat H-Pans are made from BPA-free materials for complete food safety.
Q: Can I use metal utensils like spoons or whisks in it?

A: Yes, these pans are designed to handle extreme temperature changes, making them ideal for cook-chill-retherm systems.
Q: Are lids available for this specific pan?
A: Yes, Cambro produces a range of compatible lids for their H-Pans, including flat, notched, and sealing options, which are available separately.
Q: What is the main benefit of the non-stick surface?
A: The smooth, non-stick interior not only makes it incredibly easy to clean but also helps to increase food yield, as less product gets left behind in the pan.

Explore more from CambroWhat Makes a 'High Heat' Pan Different?
Ever wondered what the 'high heat' label really means? Think of it like the difference between a standard plastic tub and proper cookware. A regular plastic container might warp, soften, or even leach unwanted chemicals when it gets too hot. This high temperature gastronorm pan 1/9, however, is made from a special kind of polycarbonate engineered specifically to handle the extreme temperatures of a professional kitchen, from a freezing -40°C right up to a sizzling 190°C. It's like having a superhero version of a normal food pan – it won’t lose its shape in a steamy bain-marie or complain in the microwave, ensuring your food stays safe and the pan lasts for years.
