I don't mean that it fills the pan and over flows, but rather that the hard boil shoots some out. If you think you are losing none, try this: Get a hard boil going and place a sheet of anything that will show as a mist lands on it, ie glass,plexi glass, lexon, even a very shinny cookie sheet. Let it set directly beside the side of your pan. You will get indications of the amount lost. After 15 minutes, study the surface. You will see more than expected in most cases. The use of deflectors to run it back in helps but even my 15" pan will likely lose a little. The real issue is to try to keep the loss to an absolute minimum. You might not lose much, but to me any loss that can be realistically avoided is too much. The loss generally comes in the form of little droplets that geyser up and out.

I'm planning to have a pan built soon. This is new to me as I have only used S.S. steam table food pans in the past but I would like to kick my little operation up a notch for 2013. I think the size will be 24"x36" and I don't know how deep.
Can you folks make recommendations for pan depth and partition dimensions? I was planning to make it 8" deep with four 6" wide serpentine flow channels.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Just goto your local welding shop, I am planning on having a couple pans made, 2 pans that are 21 inches wide by 6 foot long and 6 inches deep and 2 -2 foot tall by 1 foot wide by 1 foot long, for the stainless (16 ga.), bending and cutting is about $550 and I will be doing the welding myself.
