This stainless steel steam pan grate provides effective drainage and ventilation for solid foods. Also known as a false bottom or pan drain, the grate allows foods to stand above collected liquids. It preserves the texture of foods and prevents over-saturation. The sturdy grid wire construction supports heavy foods without bending and is durable for repeated use. Four feet elevate the grate to allow proper drainage into a standard third-size steam table pan. Ideal for draining, holding, and serving foods at buffets or catered events.
