Hotel Pans & Insert Pans

Hotel pans, also known as steam table pans or inserts, are a staple in commercial kitchens across foodservice industries. These versatile containers are designed to hold, store, and serve food in steam tables, chafing dishes, and prep stations. Available in standard sizes such as full, half, third, and beyond, hotel pans follow the Gastronorm (GN) sizing system to ensure compatibility with a wide variety of commercial kitchen equipment.

Constructed from stainless steel or polycarbonate, hotel pans are built to withstand extreme temperatures, making them suitable for both hot and cold applications. Stainless steel versions are ideal for cooking, baking, and hot holding due to their heat conductivity and durability. Polycarbonate pans are lighter and perfect for cold storage and refrigerated service. Many pans also feature an anti-jamming design to prevent them from sticking when stacked.

Hotel pan accessories include matching lids, drain shelves, and adapter bars to help organize your setup and improve food safety. Whether you're operating a buffet, catering event, or prep line, hotel pans are essential tools for efficient kitchen workflow.
