Winco Full Size 6" Deep Stainless Steel Steam Pan/Hotel Pan, Anti-Jam

I bought this pan to use as a cat litter box. It's easier to clean than regular plastic boxes, doesn't hold the smells and is nice and deep (important for those cats who like to dig around and toss litter all over). I saved a good $20-30 ordering this item as apparently having a picture of a cat sittting next to the pan commands a healthy premium. I'm certain that this works well for it's original intended purpose of storing and serving food though I have to agree with some other reviewers that it seems to be a bit thin compared to the pans we used when I was a restaurant manager. Nonetheless, it's a good product and I will buy another one when I replace my other cat's litter box.

I cook my own dog food and it was perfect! I can cook 40 lbs of chicken and still have plenty of room for veggies. It's huge, but exactly what I was looking for!

These pans are deep and wide, which gives them the perfect dimensions for my back woods maple oven. They are sturdy so you can put the lip of the pans on the concrete and it holds with a full pan of sap with no worries of it giving under the high heat of the fire below. I mean I got well over 600 degrees and these pans didn't even flinch, nor did the sap burn. I got a better boil from these pans and they were a more efficient then using a stock pot because of the surface area. I used less wood and got a higher temperature boil. And the clean up? Super easy and fast. Stainless is the way to go, just put the money into this investment, you will have it for years to come. It's WELL worth the price.

Really really great! I'm not sure if it's rest resistant because I did return it but it was exactly what I needed but the wrong size on my end. But totally sturdy and I feel like it could hold a lot and really great quality so definitely if this is what you're looking for this is the product!

I ordered two of these full size, 6-inch deep pans. They were delivered in an undamaged box within two days of ordering them. But they were jammed together so tightly it took a lot of time and effort to pry them apart without damaging them. Good news: the metal is thin enough that once they were separated, we were able to straighten the rims back to normal. A thin sheet of plastic wrap had been place between the pans, to no good purpose.We didn't dare heat the bottom pan to expand it because the plastic might have melted and been impossible to remove. If brown wrapping paper had been used between the pans, I don't think the pans would have stuck together so tightly. Ironically, the pans had been packed in the box with brown paper for protection during shipping. The pan which had been stuck on the inside had no damage. But the outside pan had 4 large dents in the corners plus one tiny dent on the bottom that I am most worried about. You see, in about a week we will be boiling maple sap in it over a very hot fire to make syrup, and I am concerned that this tiny dent, being so deep, is going to become a hole and the pan will become unusable. I am including pics of the two worst dents, plus the tiny, sharp dent from both the outside and the inside. When these pans have been put to use, I will come back and rate them again. Crossing my fingers. Edit: Our second maple syrup season is coming to an end, and these pans have held up. One has developed a 2-inch long deformation on one of the long side rims, but it doesn't impact stability. Upgrading from 3 to 4 stars.

These are very nice pans well worth the money. I used them to sit over and Open flame and cook down maple syrup. They held up excellent. I will add some pictures of them soon. But if they can sit over and Open flame for days on and cook maple syrup I think you got to get yourself a set. Great price for the product.

I have been a multi-cat family all my life and always had the same problem, after a while no matter how often I cleaned the pan there was always a lingering odor. Plastic retains odor but stainless steel doesn't. I started looking for a stainless steel litter box but couldn't find one big enough at the price I was willing to pay. I then started looking at kitchen pans and found this steam pan that fit the bill both in size and price. I have been using this steam pan for several months and I have no pan odor and the litter doesn't stick to the pan. I don't know why I didn't think of this simple solution before. I would highly recommend this pan to multi cat families. I won't go back to plastic ever again. It may not be attractive but it works.

Bought this to be a litter pan because I saw some people were pleased. I used measurements in relation to the pan I wished to replace (only because it was not tall enough.) Take note, the posted measurements for the pan use the edges not the inside of the pan itself--my bad for not considering this. I have a fat cat so it is a bit narrow for her to turn around. She does use it infrequently, and prefers the wider box. I haven't seen the smaller cat use it, but she is a nervous Nellie. The pan is loud while cleaning. The metal seems not to be durable compared to other pans, being thin, but I'm not throwing it around either, so it's OK. I'll continue using it as the back-up pan.

So I'm using this as a litter box for my cats (3). It's made well and luckily for me out of the 4 I've purchased none of them had any damage (i.e. dents, etc). I definitely recommend this as a litter box! There's literally no smell (unlike with regular/plastic litter boxes which hold the smells), it's easy to clean, my cats like it and I've found (at least with the litter I use) the litter does not stick to the container. I found that it's deep enough to use as well, but if your cat kicks their litter a lot some might go out. I have one cat that does that, but honestly there's barely any litter that gets out. If you're worried about it getting damaged if you cat likes to scratch or dig in their litter, I wouldn't worry. It's a solid build and if you put a good amount of litter I've found they don't scratch the bottom.

Perfect. Strong. Using it for boiling maple syrup

This is a nice sized solid pan. Super easy to clean. It stays looking brand new and doesn't scratch easily.

The steamer pan arrived in good condition and has worked well for the intended purpose (boiling small batches of maple sap). The pan is correctly advertised as 25 gauge steel, meaning much thinner than "professional grade" 22 gauge pans and would be easy to dent, but again for my purpose this represents decent quality at a decent price.

I have used it for 2 seasons now (cooking maple syrup). Its fairly easy to clean, one trick is to heat it up and stuff is easy to clean when warm. The material has held up and I'm confident it will do many more seasons. I was very happy with the purchase.
