The GastroNorm draining racks are essential items in any kitchen where food handling occurs. They are used in the preservation of foods that release liquids, reducing the amount of waste due to spoilage.

Fresh meat and fish release a liquid known as exudate. This exudate contains large amounts of proteins, cells, and solid debris, leading to bacterial growth, which poses a health risk. Proper preservation of this type of food requires the use of draining racks that separate the exudate from the food.

The draining racks used for this purpose must be tall enough to prevent the flow of exudate over the draining racks, and their design should avoid sharp edges and corners where exudate can accumulate.

The draining rack is placed at the bottom of the container and encourages drainage at the base, thus avoiding contact of the liquid with the food and reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

Araven offers draining trays that fit its food containers (in GastroNorm sizes as well as other sizes), and their combination represents the best choice for maintaining food quality.
