Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Courtyard Deli" in York needed to refresh its salad and  sandwich counter. Their old ceramic plates were heavy, chipped, and  would often slide around on the refrigerated display top, looking untidy and  posing a risk during busy lunch rushes.

"The APS trays have been brilliant. They look so much cleaner and  more professional than our old collection of plates. The best part is they stay exactly where you put them. Our counter display looks ten times better, and  staff find them so much easier to handle."

Michael Edwards – Owner

The deli reported a significant improvement in presentation and  noted that restocking the counter is now 30% faster due to the trays' lightweight and  stable design.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Give the tray a good wash with warm, soapy water or run it through the dishwasher before its first use.
  • Inspect the tray upon arrival to ensure it's in perfect condition.
  • The GN 1/2 size is designed to fit standard refrigerated wells and  buffet units without any special installation.

Keeping It Going

  • This tray is fully dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
  • To avoid scratches, do not use abrasive scourers or steel wool. A soft cloth or sponge is best.
  • Important: Do not use in conventional ovens, microwave ovens, or on direct heat sources.
  • Stack carefully when storing to protect the finish and  ensure stability.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Trays

Not sure which tray is right for your counter? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Melamine offers a ceramic look with superior durability and  a lighter weight, making it ideal for displays and  busy service. Stainless steel is better for cooking and  hot holding.

Get the Size Right

Gastronorm (GN) sizing is a European standard. A GN 1/2 tray like this one is 325 x 265mm, half the size of a full GN 1/1. Measure your space to ensure a perfect fit.

Consider the Colour

A white gastronorm 1/2 tray provides a clean, neutral backdrop that makes colourful food pop. Black or patterned trays can create a different mood, so think about your brand's style.

Function over Form

Look for features that make life easier. Non-slip feet prevent accidents, and  a stackable design is a non-negotiable for kitchens where space is tight.

Hot or Cold?

This melamine serving tray is perfect for cold or ambient displays like salad bars, deli counters, and  cake displays. Always check the material's heat rating if you need it for a hot counter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this tray fully dishwasher safe?

A: Yes, it is designed for commercial dishwashers, making cleaning quick and  hygienic.

Q: Can I use this tray in an oven or microwave?

A: No, melamine is not suitable for use in ovens, microwaves, or on any direct heat source. It's for serving and  display only.

Q: What does GN 1/2 actually mean?

A: It refers to a standard gastronorm size of 325 x 265mm. It's a universal measurement used in catering so equipment from different brands fits together.

Q: Are the non-slip feet effective on wet surfaces?

A: They provide excellent grip on most dry, flat surfaces. While they help on damp surfaces, caution is always advised.

Q: Is melamine heavy like china?

A: Not at all. It's significantly lighter than ceramic or porcelain, which makes it much easier and  safer for staff to handle.

Q: How do I remove tough stains like curry or tomato?

A: For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive cream cleaner or a specialised melamine cleaner should lift them without damaging the surface.

Q: Will it chip if I drop it?

A: Melamine is highly chip-resistant and  far more durable than traditional china, though not entirely unbreakable if dropped from a height onto a hard floor.

Q: Can these trays be stacked neatly?

A: Yes, they are designed to be stackable, which is a great feature for saving valuable storage space in your kitchen or stockroom.

Why Melamine Makes a Real-World Difference

Ever wondered what makes melamine so popular in commercial kitchens? Think of it as the best of both worlds. It's a type of super-tough plastic that's created under heat, giving it the hard, glossy finish of ceramic but without the weight or fragility. Imagine dropping a ceramic plate versus a melamine one – the melamine is far more likely to survive the impact, saving you money on replacements.

This material is also non-porous. That's a fancy way of saying that liquids and  food colours from things like beetroot or curries can't easily soak in. It’s why this APS GF076 melamine tray is so stain-resistant and  easy to clean, keeping your food presentation looking pristine day after day. It's the smart, practical choice for any high-volume food service operation.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Buffet Restaurants: Perfect for creating elegant, uniform displays for salads, pastries, and  cold cuts on your buffet line.
  • Event Caterers: A lightweight yet durable option for transporting and  serving canapés or appetisers at weddings and  functions.
  • High-Street Cafés: Ideal for showcasing cakes, sandwiches, and  pastries on the counter, with non-slip feet for added safety.
  • Artisan Delis & Farm Shops: Use this commercial melamine gastronorm tray to present cheeses, meats, and  antipasti in a clean, professional manner.
