Product Overview
Here’s a genuine workhorse for any professional kitchen. The Cambro high heat 1/3 gastronorm pan is crafted for chefs and caterers who value efficiency and quality. This isn't just another plastic container; it's a high-performance polycarbonate tool designed to handle the extreme temperatures of a commercial environment, from blast chilling right through to reheating in a microwave or holding in a bain-marie.
Built for the non-stop reality of food service, this 1/3 size high heat food pan is perfect for everything from event caterers prepping off-site to busy restaurants needing reliable hot-holding on the pass. Its robust, BPA-free construction means it won't crack under pressure, stain from stubborn sauces, or hold onto odours, ensuring your food always tastes exactly as you intended. It’s the kind of kit that simplifies your process, letting you prep, store, cook, and serve all from one versatile pan.
Ultimately, this is about making your day easier. By cutting down on the number of containers you use, you reduce washing up, minimise food handling, and speed up service. It’s a smart, durable investment that pays for itself in saved time and reliability, shift after shift. If you need a container that works as hard as you do, this is it.

- Workflow Wonder: Drastically reduces washing up and food transfer between stations.
- Handle with Care: Best to use non-metal utensils to avoid scratching the surface.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Harbour View Café" in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed to streamline their process for serving hot seafood chowder and mushy peas. Their team was constantly transferring batches from kitchen saucepans to stainless steel server pans, creating unnecessary washing up and delays during busy tourist seasons.
"We were in a constant cycle of cook, transfer, serve, wash, repeat. It was a bottleneck. These Cambro high temperature gastronorm dishes let us cook a batch in the combi oven and slot it straight into the hot-hold unit. It’s just so much simpler."
Robert Davies – Owner
The change has saved the kitchen team roughly 45 minutes of washing and transfer time per day, allowing them to focus more on prep and service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use.
- The 1/3 GN size is standard and will fit compatible racks, trollies, and bain-maries without issue.
- For best results in storage and transport, consider pairing with a compatible Cambro lid.
- Dry completely before stacking to prevent water spots and ensure hygiene.
Keeping It Going
- This pan is perfectly safe for use in commercial dishwashers.
- To keep it looking its best, avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads which can cause scratches.
- While highly stain-resistant, it’s good practice to rinse soon after use with potent ingredients like turmeric or tomato purée.
- Stack them neatly when not in use; their design prevents them from jamming together.

The Cambro Advantage: Smarter by Design
When you choose a Cambro product, you're investing in more than just a piece of equipment; you're buying into a philosophy of kitchen efficiency. For over half a century, Cambro has built its reputation on creating products that solve real-world problems for chefs. This commercial high heat gastronorm tray is a prime example. It's not just a box. It's a tool that streamlines your entire operation by reducing touchpoints—from prep to freezer, to oven, to service line. This translates directly into lower labour costs from less washing up, improved food safety from fewer transfers, and a significantly lower total cost of ownership. Cheaper alternatives might save a few pounds upfront, but they'll cost you more in the long run through cracks, stains, and warping. A Cambro pan is built for the relentless pace of a professional kitchen, delivering reliability and performance you can count on, day in, day out.

Ever wondered what makes this polycarbonate 1/3 gastronorm pan 150mm so special? It’s all down to the material's ability to handle 'thermal shock'. Think of it like the difference between a normal drinking glass and a borosilicate glass dish like Pyrex. If you pour boiling water into a cold glass, it's likely to crack. A Pyrex dish, however, is engineered to withstand that sudden change. This Cambro pan works on the same principle. The high-heat polymer is designed not to warp, crack, or become brittle when going from a -40°C freezer to a 190°C heating environment. This means you can do a full production run, blast chill for storage, and then reheat portions in the very same pan, slashing washing-up and speeding up your entire workflow.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants & Pubs: Ideal for prepping, storing, and serving hot-hold items on the line or in a carvery unit.
- Event Caterers: Prepare food off-site, transport it safely, and then reheat it in the same durable container.
- Delis & Sandwich Shops: Perfect for holding hot fillings like chilli, pulled pork, or soup in a bain-marie all day long.
- Contract Caterers & Schools: A robust and food-safe solution for large-scale meal prep, cooking, and service lines.
