FAQs
Can I use this pan in the microwave?
While the polycarbonate is durable, it is generally recommended to limit microwave use to reheating rather than cooking, and always ensure the lid is removed.
What is the capacity of this specific model?
The 42CW135 has a total capacity of 1.7 liters.
Does this pan come with a lid?
No, lids are sold separately. You will need a standard 1/4 size Cambro lid.
Is this pan safe for freezer use?
Yes, polycarbonate can withstand cold temperatures, making it safe for walk-in freezer storage.
Can I use steel wool to clean the pan?
No, you should avoid steel wool or abrasive pads as they will scratch the clear surface and diminish the pan's transparency.
What are the dimensions of a 1/4 size gastronorm pan?
Standard 1/4 size pans measure approximately 265mm x 162mm; this specific model has a depth of 65mm.
Troubleshooting
Pans are stuck together after stacking
Run warm water over the outer pan to break the vacuum seal caused by trapped air or moisture.
Surface appears cloudy
This is usually caused by mineral deposits from hard water or abrasive cleaning; soak in a vinegar solution to restore clarity.
Lid does not snap on securely
Verify that the lid is the correct 1/4 size model and check the rim of the pan for any debris or physical damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Cambro pan, ensure you pair it with the corresponding Cambro 1/4 size lid to prevent cross-contamination and maintain freshness. For cleaning, while the pan is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to use non-abrasive detergents to maintain the clarity of the polycarbonate. Avoid using metal utensils inside the container, as they can scratch the surface and harbor bacteria. When storing, avoid nesting wet pans tightly together, as this can create a vacuum seal that makes them difficult to separate; drying them completely before stacking is recommended.
