Hotel Pan False Bottoms

If a plastic colander insert won't cut it, a food pan false bottom will do the trick. These heavy-duty options can keep[ your food toasty warm while holding it above any draining liquids to avoid over-saturation. There are also convenient finger holes along the sides allowing for an easy grip to lift it out.

What is a Pan with a False Bottom?

Food pans can have what's called a false bottom. This is so food is more visable and set up a bit higher from the natural bottom to allow sauces and other liquids to drain. Having a false bottom means avoiding a soggy meal. You can also use food pan drain trays.

What is a False Bottom Used For?

Using a food pan with a false bottom is a great way to keep your food warm in the pan without holding in excess liquids like sauces or draining juices. Since they're typically made from a heavy-duty stainless steel, you can rest assured they are stable and can hold your food with ease.
