Commercial Steam Table Pans in Toronto & Canada

Steam table pans are the workhorse of any buffet line, hot table, or prep station. They hold soups, sauces, and sides at temperature, keep toppings within reach, and double as storage in the walk-in. Our Phoenix STP24 Series Anti-Jam Steam Table Pans are 24 gauge stainless steel with reinforced edges, and come in every size from full down to 1/9 in depths from 1.25" to 6". For steaming and draining vegetables, there's a Phoenix STP24 perforated pan, and Phoenix STP24 lids come solid or slotted. For cold prep and storage, Winco SP Series polycarbonate food pans are clear and rated from -40°F to 210°F, with matching covers and a drain shelf. Round out the line with a Winco pan grate for cooling, an Omcan 80907 spillage pan, or a Phoenix 5L gelato pan. Whether you're running a buffet in Toronto, a catering kitchen in Mississauga, or a café right here in Vaughan, Phoenix Food Equipment ships steam table pans across the GTA — Brampton included — and nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What size is a full size steam table pan, and what are the fractional sizes?

A full size steam table pan measures 12.8" x 20.8", and every other size is a fraction of that footprint. A 1/2 size is 12.8" x 10.4", a 1/3 size is 12.8" x 6.9", a 1/4 size is 6.4" x 10.4", a 1/6 size is 6.4" x 6.9", and a 1/9 size is 4.3" x 6.9". Those are the sizes listed for the Phoenix STP24 Series, which also comes in 2/3 and 2/4 long sizes. Depth is separate: 2.5" is common for toppings and sides, while 4" and 6" hold more for soups and entrées. If your pans don't add up to fill an opening, the Phoenix Hot and Cold Table Pan Dividers/Adapter Bars let you split one opening between different pan sizes.

What's the difference between stainless steel and polycarbonate steam table pans?

Stainless steel is the choice when the pan is going on heat. The Phoenix STP24 Series is 24 gauge 304 (18/8) stainless, described as great for baking, cooking, and general rough use, and it works in both steam tables and cold tables. Polycarbonate is clear, so you can see what's in the pan without lifting a lid, and the Winco SP Series is rated from -40°F to 210°F, which suits cold prep lines, walk-in storage, and holding prepped ingredients. The Winco SP Series covers fit both polycarbonate and stainless steam table pans, and the drain shelves are made to go with the polycarbonate pans, so you can mix and match on one line.

What's a perforated steam table pan used for, and what accessories do I need?

A perforated pan is for steaming and draining, so vegetables and other prepared ingredients drain in the pan instead of sitting in water. For everything else, slotted lids let a ladle or spoon stay in the pan while it's covered, and a pan grate lifts food off the bottom so it doesn't stick, and doubles as a cooling or icing rack. A Winco Stainless Steel Dome Cover with Center Handle covers a full-size pan on a buffet line, and specialty tools like the Winco 7" Butter Roller drop into a standard 1/6 size opening. Most accessories are sized to match the pan, so check the fraction before you order.
