Looking at the various options for Cambro pans, looking at the Camwear pans, temp. range of -40°F - 210°F (-40°C - 99°C), which depth am I looking for? 6"(15cm) or 8"(20cm)? Figure I would get two different capacities for cooking different amounts, but not sure which depth would be best.

i got the 9" deep model (cambro 12189cw - [http://www.comcater.com.au/handling-storage-holding-transport-food-storage-and-preparation-camwear-boxes--p-2589.html](http://www.comcater.com.au/handling-storage-holding-transport-food-storage-and-preparation-camwear-boxes--p-2589.html)). Here it is in action - [https://twitter.com/Alan\_1/status/526217546148483072/photo/1](https://twitter.com/Alan_1/status/526217546148483072/photo/1)

I chose this one for a couple of reasons - at 4.75 gal, it’s around the max capacity of the precision cooker. Also, if you have a larger container, you can always fill it less with water.

No need for a lid, just cover the top with cling wrap.
