The Cambro 20LPHPD is an H-Pan high heat drain shelf for half size long (Half Long - GN 1/2 Long) H-Pan food pans. The perforated insert sits inside the pan and raises product off the floor so grease, condensation and drippings collect underneath instead of soaking into the food. Rated -40°F to 375°F, it stays in the pan from freezer through microwave or oven reheating to hot holding on the line. Sold by the case of 6.
Keep Hot Food Above Its Own Drippings
The drain shelf is a flat perforated platform molded from Cambro's translucent amber high heat resin, sized to drop into the matching Gastronorm H-Pan food pan and rest a short distance above the pan floor. Liquids released during steaming, reheating or holding pass through the perforations and pool below the shelf, out of contact with the product. The material tolerates -40°F to 375°F (-40°C to 190°C), so the shelf can stay in place through flash freezing, microwave and oven reheating, steam tables and heated cabinets, and it is safe in high-temperature commercial dishwashers. It is NSF listed and works under every H-Pan high heat lid.
The payoff is texture and yield: fried chicken, breaded items, bacon and roasted vegetables hold crisp rather than steaming soft in their own juices, and steamed product does not waterlog. Because food is heated, drained and served in a single pan there is no transfer step, which saves labor and removes a point of cross-contamination. Drain shelves are offered in every H-Pan size from GN 1/1 down to 1/9, so a full hot line can be set up with the same approach in every well.
Why Operators Choose It
- Lifts food off drippings: perforated shelf lets grease and condensation collect beneath the product
- Freezer to oven rated: -40°F to 375°F covers flash freezing, microwave and oven reheating, and hot holding

- Every H-Pan size: available for GN 1/1, 1/2, 1/2 long, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8 and 1/9 pans
- Works with all H-Pan lids: pan can be covered with flat, handled or notched high heat lids with the shelf in place
- Amber identification: translucent color marks it as high heat and distinguishes it from cold-storage inserts

Ideal For
