The Prepline PFP-13-4 Steam Table Food Pan
The Prepline PFP-13-4 is a 1/3 size stainless steel steam table pan with a 4 inch depth, the third-pan module that runs through every steam table, prep table, cold well, and transport cabinet built around the standard 12 x 20 inch opening. It holds 4.5 qt. of product, and because the footprint is the industry-standard 1/3 module, three of them fill a full size well side by side. The same pan moves from the walk-in to the prep table to the serving line without ever transferring food to a different container, which is exactly how a hotel pan is supposed to earn its keep.
24 Gauge 18/8 Stainless Steel
The body is drawn from 24 gauge 18/8 stainless steel, the chromium-nickel grade that holds up to acidic sauces, brines, and tomato-based products that stain or pit cheaper metal. An anti-rust finish keeps the pan bright through repeated dish machine cycles, so a pan that goes through the washer three times a day still looks presentable on a buffet line a year in. Standard weight construction hits the working balance for daily service, sturdy enough not to dent on the first drop, light enough that a full pan comes out of the well with one hand on each end.
Anti-Jam Design That Separates Cleanly
Anti-jam construction means stacked empties nest without wedging into each other. Anyone who has fought a column of jammed pans at the dish station knows why that matters: with these, the top pan lifts free and the stack stays on the shelf. Pans still nest tightly enough to save shelf space in dry storage, they just come apart again when you need one.
Polished Surface with Smooth, Non-Sharp Edges
The polished interior releases sticky product with a spatula pass instead of a soak, and it rinses clean faster than a brushed or matte surface. Every edge is finished smooth with a non-sharp touch, so a cook grabbing a hot pan with a side towel in the middle of service is not slicing a finger on a raw sheet-metal lip.
One Module of a Full System
The pan measures 6.9"W x 12.8"L at the rim and drops into any standard steam table opening alongside the rest of the fractional lineup, so you can split one 12 x 20 inch well between sauces, sides, and proteins and swap any of them out in seconds. The 4 inch depth suits holding and prep where a deeper pan would let product sit too long below the heat line.
