A hotel pan is similar to a large metal roasting pan. Hotel pans are
sometimes called "steam table pans."
"Hotel Pan
These are rectangular stainless steel pans used to cook, store and
serve food, and are designed to fit in steam tables, racks and
chafers.
A full size pan is 12 X 20 inches, and there are also 1/2, 1/3, 1/6
and 1/9 sizes. The standard depth is 2 inches, with 4 inch and 6 inch
deep sizes. Another variation has perforated sides and bottoms for
steaming foods."
