Browne Foodservice 1/3-Size Wire Pan Grate 5 x 10" Chrome-Plated Footed Support for Airflow & Drainage

Designed for busy commercial kitchens, catering lines, and buffet setups, this compact pan grate combines a sturdy chrome-plated finish with a raised, wire-frame design to protect pans and promote circulation. It fits 1/3-size pans and trays, offering a reliable platform that resists warping under normal use. The chrome plating simplifies cleanup and helps resist surface corrosion in high-humidity, high-use environments.

How does this grate improve airflow and drainage?

The open wire construction elevates pans above contact surfaces so hot air, steam, and liquids can move freely around the pan. That circulation helps reduce sogginess and supports more consistent temperature distribution when holding or cooling foods.

• Raised feet lift pans off flat surfaces for 360° airflow.
• Wire spacing prevents pooling of liquids and encourages drainage.
• Chrome-plated surface sheds debris and eases rinsing.

Will the chrome-plated wire hold up to commercial use?

The wire grate is manufactured for foodservice environments and provides a balance of strength and light weight. While not stainless steel, the chrome plating improves durability and resists everyday wear; it performs best with routine cleaning and proper storage.

• Durable wire frame supports standard 1/3-size pans and contents.
• Chrome finish increases surface hardness and protects underlying metal.
• Footed design minimizes direct contact and reduces heat transfer to countertops.

What sizes and configurations is this compatible with?

This particular model measures 5" x 10" to suit 1/3-size pan applications and narrow service lines. It adapts to food holding, display, and prep stations where space is limited but reliable support is required.

• Fits 1/3-size food pans and small steam table inserts.
• Ideal for compact chafing fuel setups, small mobile carts, or prep islands.
• Works well where a low-profile, raised support is needed.

How should I clean and maintain the pan grate?

Simple maintenance keeps the chrome-plated grate performing longer: hand wash with mild detergent or use a hot-water dishwasher when allowed, and dry thoroughly to limit surface dulling. Avoid harsh abrasives that can damage the plating.

• Wash after each shift with warm, soapy water and a soft brush or cloth.
• Dry immediately to prevent water spots and prolong plating life.
• Inspect feet and welds periodically for wear in high-use settings.

Who is this for? Kitchens, caterers, and foodservice operators who need a compact, economical support grate for 1/3-size pans will find this Update International chrome-plated wire pan grate useful. It suits small buffet lines, mobile food stations, warming setups, and prep tables where improved airflow, drainage, and an elevated cooking or holding surface make operations smoother. For operators prioritizing long-term corrosion resistance in extremely wet environments, consider stainless options, but for everyday holding and display tasks, this grate offers a practical, cost-effective solution.
