Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies come in all shapes and sizes for foodservice operators. Anything from major natural disasters including hurricanes, ice storms and floods, to the more common disruptions such as a water main break, a power outage, or the pot scrubber coming down with the flu can force your operation into emergency mode.

You will never know exactly when or how an emergency will strike. But you can make sure you are prepared with an emergency response plan, and an emergency preparedness kit that contains all the tools you need to keep your operation up and running.


One essential component of every kit: PanSaver Ovenable (400° F) Pan Liners.

PanSaver® products are flexible material liners designed to fit the standard pots, pans and roasters used in commercial kitchens. PanSaver eliminates the direct food-to-hot-metal surface contact. This prevents the moisture in the food from rapidly “scalding-off”. Moisture in food is flavor and temperature. Comparison tests have proven that food cooked and held in a pan lined with PanSaver is on an average 20°F warmer than food held in an unlined pan.

PanSaver will improve food quality, improve HACCP compliance, and make pot and pan clean-up a snap.


Include PanSaver Pan Liners In Your Emergency Kit

Including PanSaver Pan Liners in your emergency kit can make your operation’s response to any emergency go more smoothly and safely. PanSaver Pan Liners will:

  • Eliminate unnecessary work – there is no need to have people scrubbing pans when they may be needed for more urgent tasks
  • Conserve potable water... Why Scrub...? When All You Need To Do Is Sanitize!
  • PanSaver eliminates food from baking and burning onto the pan... and the risk of surface contamination from the pan is eliminated
  • Sustain food quality – PanSaver Pan Liners keep hot foods moister longer (3Xs), helping preserve texture, flavor and temperature
  • “Late-night-savings” can be stored in a PanSaver Pan Liner; refrigerated or frozen; then used at a later time

In an emergency you want to keep your staff’s morale high by applying your staff’s energy efficiently. And for your customers, you must continue to serve the highest quality food possible. PanSaver Pan Liners can help you make this happen.

Be prepared — include PanSaver products in your foodservice operation’s emergency preparedness kit. You’ll be glad you did.
