These drain shelves from Cambro are designed to sit inside 1/2 gastronorm high heat food trays, holding food above any accumulated liquids during steaming, reheating, or hot holding. The principle is straightforward: by keeping food elevated, drippings and moisture fall away rather than pooling beneath the product, which helps preserve texture and consistency through the holding period.
In a busy service environment, this matters more than it might seem. Foods held in direct contact with collected liquids can deteriorate quickly — moisture softens crusts, dilutes sauces, and compromises the quality of proteins. These drain shelves help maintain the integrity of held food across an extended service window without any additional effort from kitchen staff.
Practical advantages in daily use include:
- Keeps food elevated and away from grease drippings and accumulated liquids
- Compatible with Cambro high heat 1/2 GN food trays for straightforward integration
- Suitable for use in steaming, reheating, and hot holding applications
- Supplied as a pack of six, supporting consistent use across multiple stations
- Easy to remove for cleaning and liquid disposal from the pan below
These are a simple but practical addition to any operation using Cambro high heat GN trays for food holding. They are particularly useful in high-throughput environments where consistent food quality across a long service period is a priority — carveries, banqueting operations, and hospital or care catering are common applications.
If you are unsure which Cambro tray and drain shelf combination is right for your holding setup, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
