12 Pack Plastic Food Pan with Lids 1/6 Size 6in Deep - Stackable Clear

Our review of this 12 pack plastic food pan set finds it best suited to small commercial kitchens, catering lines, and home cooks who need clear, stackable storage for prepared ingredients. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a reliable seal and visible, stackable design that keeps prepared foods organized and fresh; the set includes 12 polycarbonate pans with lids plus a large plastic spoon, which is immediately useful for buffet prep and ingredient stations. The materials and depth make these pans practical for both cold and hot food tasks, and customers consistently mention the size, quality, and value for money.

Key Features

• 12 piece set with spoon: The pack includes 12 clear pans and a large plastic spoon, so a prep station can be stocked right away without extra purchases.
• Two style lids: Comes with one open lid and 11 solid lids in 1/6 size to provide a secure seal and help prevent odor transfer between products.
• Clear polycarbonate construction: Thickened PC material offers visibility to quickly identify contents while resisting cracking during normal use.
• Stackable 6in depth: The 6 in deep, 2 quart capacity pans stack securely to save space on shelves and in refrigeration units.
• Wide temperature range: Rated from -20C to 120C so pans can be used for cold storage and many hot holding tasks, and are freezer safe.
• Smooth, safe edges: Finished rims and a notched handle on the lid make handling and removal comfortable and simple.

Who It's For

These clear pans are aimed at catering professionals, salad bars, and home cooks who prep multiple ingredients and need uniform, stackable containers. They work well in commercial kitchens where visual inventory and efficient stacking matter and for anyone running a small buffet or deli line.

Users who require microwave- or dishwasher-safe containers should look elsewhere, since these pans are hand wash only and not recommended for microwave use. Those needing full steam table metal pans or larger hotel pans should choose heavier-duty stainless options instead.
