While steam tables provide many excellent benefits in a professional kitchen there are also a couple drawbacks. Fortunately with proper planning many of these detriments may be avoided or eliminated entirely. For instance with hot food pans grease can pool up on the bottom of the pan and ruin the food it"s keeping warm. To prevent this from occurring Royal Industries recommends its 8” x 10 1/2” chrome-plated drain grate (ROY PANG 2). This grate allows spots of grease crumbs and small portions of food to fall beneath the surface and away from the food sitting on the grate.
