Why a Hinged Lid?

  • Lid never hits the counterFlip it open, serve, flip it closed. Nothing to set down or lose.
  • Faster serviceOne hand to open and close, so the other stays on the order.
  • Covered between ordersClosing is so easy that pans actually stay covered.
  • Complete assemblyPan and 16-gauge stainless lid come together. Not a replacement lid.

Spoon Notch or No Spoon Notch?

Every lid is flat, hinged 16-gauge stainless steel with a black knob. The only choice is whether it has a spoon notch.

Spoon Notch

Flat 16-gauge stainless steel hinged lid with a black knob and a rounded cutout near the corner, so a serving spoon or ladle handle can stay in the pan while the lid is closed.

Good fit forChili, sauerkraut, onions, relish, and other toppings you serve with a spoon or ladle.

No Spoon Notch

Flat 16-gauge stainless steel hinged lid with a black knob and no cutout, so the lid closes fully and keeps the pan completely covered.

Good fit forToppings you serve with tongs or a separate utensil, and pans you want fully covered between orders.

Every pan ships as a complete pan-and-lid assembly. These are not replacement lids.

Hinged Steam Pan Questions

Is this just a replacement lid?

No. Each order is a complete stainless steel steam pan with a custom 16-gauge hinged stainless steel lid already attached.

Will it fit my steam table?

Our pans use standard fractional sizing (1/6, 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2), so they are designed for steam table openings built for standard pans of those sizes. Wells and adapter bars vary by manufacturer, so check your equipment. Not sure? Text Vern at 435-754-4550.

Should I get 4" or 6" deep?

Same price either way. 6" deep holds more, which suits hot items you scoop all day. 4" deep is shallower and handy for toppings you refill often. If you are matching pans you already use, pick the same depth.

Do I need a spoon notch?

Every lid has a black knob. Choose a spoon notch if a ladle or spoon lives in the pan all day, like chili or sauerkraut. Choose no spoon notch for toppings you serve with tongs and pans you want fully covered.

How long until my order ships?

This is a pre-order. We're dialing in production and perfecting our samples now, and pre-orders start shipping in the next few days. Shipping is free in the US.

Can I mix sizes and lid styles?

Yes. Add any combination of sizes, depths and lids to your cart and check out once, or use the setup builder to add a full station at once.
