Hotel Pans & Insert Pans
Hotel pans, insert pans, metal food pans—whatever you call them, they’re a staple in commercial kitchens across Canada. This simple but essential category of smallwares also includes accessories like covers, false bottoms, and vegetable inserts. Our hotel pans are available in a variety of sizes and depths, and they work perfectly in chafers, food prep tables, and pizza prep tables.
If you're using these pans in a chafer, make sure you have a water pan as well. Most chafers come with one, but it’s always good to double-check. The water pan sits in the chafer frame and holds the hotel pan above a shallow layer of water. That water creates steam to maintain safe and even temperatures, while also preventing food from burning on the bottom.
Water pans and food pans can look similar, but here’s how to tell them apart: a water pan usually has straight vertical sides, while a food pan tapers slightly so that the base is narrower than the top.
We keep these items in stock and ready to ship quickly. If you have any questions or need help deciding what to order, feel free to get in touch. Our knowledgeable staff are always here to help.
