Why Proper Fitting Matters for Produce
Using the correct model-specific pan is essential for maintaining the delicate environment required for fresh produce:

  • Preserving Airflow: Produce cases are engineered with specific airflow patterns to keep items
    crisp; ill-fitting or warped pans break this "loop," leading to hot spots and rapid wilting.
  • Moisture Management: Properly fitted pans help prevent condensation and ice build-up around evaporator coils, which can otherwise drip onto and damage fresh produce.
  • Thermal Protection: Switching to polystyrene versions of these models provides better insulation than metal, protecting sensitive items like leafy greens from localized freezing or "cold spots"
