Why this shape
Camwear is Cambro's polycarbonate — crystal-clear so the cook can see whether the contents are dopio pasta or white rice without lifting the lid, and virtually unbreakable so a dropped full container on tile does not shatter into glass to be picked out of the cook's feet. The 4-quart capacity fits a quart of brine, two pounds of cut mise, or a single batch of sauce, and the molded graduation marks on the sidewall let a cook measure by eye without dirtying a separate cup. A round shape stacks stably on the round tier of a Cambro dunnage rack and stores more efficiently than square in walk-ins designed for round, and the temperature range of -40°F to 210°F means the same container survives a freezer, a ban-marie, and a hot-hold — no separate 'freezer container' that cracks when borrowed for the steam table.
- Good for
- Walk-in mise, brine and marinade holding, sourdough starter scaled across a day's service, broth and stock cooling overnight, prep stations where the container moves from fridge to line and back more than once a shift.
- Not for
- Sharp mise directly against the floor of the container — a knife edge against polycarbonate will score it over time. The container is also heavy, and a 4-quart filled with right-thin sauce will spill when tipped; reach for a Cambro square for a flat-sided option, or for a Cambro Camwear Translucent Cover lid (sold separately).
- Care
- Dishwasher safe; stain, acid, and odor resistant. Temperature range -40°F to 210°F (-40°C to 99°C). Do not exceed the temperature range. Cambro publishes this in the spec section of the product page.
