  • Built to Last: This pan resists dents and  damage remarkably well in busy service.
  • A Bit Weighty: Its robust construction makes it heavier than cheaper, flimsy alternatives.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salty Squid, a popular seafood bistro in Brighton, needed to upgrade their kitchen storage. Their existing collection of mismatched, cheaper pans were warping in the oven and  causing frustrating delays during service as they wouldn't slide easily into the refrigerated drawers.

"Honestly, these Bourgeat pans have made such a difference. They're solid, they fit everything perfectly, and  they just feel professional. The team can work faster because they aren't fighting with the equipment. A simple change that had a huge impact on our daily flow."

Robert Miller – Head Chef at The Salty Squid

The switch to a standardised set of Bourgeat K046 pans streamlined their entire prep and  service line, increasing kitchen output efficiency by over 20% during the busy summer season.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the pan a good wash with hot, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Check that it fits correctly in your ovens, fridges, and  hot holding units. The universal EN 631 standard means it should be a perfect match.
  • If you have them, check that your corresponding 1/1 GN lids create a snug fit for storage and  transport.

Keeping It Going

  • To remove stubborn, baked-on food, soak the pan in hot water rather than attacking it with metal scourers, which can scratch the surface.
  • While it's perfectly dishwasher safe, hand-drying the pan will prevent water spots and  keep it looking its best.
  • Stack pans carefully when clean and  dry to avoid unnecessary scratches and  dents.
  • Regularly check the corners and  edges to ensure they remain straight and true for a perfect fit in your equipment.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which GN pan is the right fit for your kitchen? Here’s a quick rundown on what to look for to make the best choice.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the king of durability and  heat resistance, perfect for oven use. For cold storage or display, lighter polycarbonate pans can be a good option, but for all-round performance, you can't beat steel.

Get the Size Right

GN sizing is a standardised system. A 1/1 pan (like this one) is the base size. A 1/2 pan is half that size, a 1/3 is a third, and  so on. Check your equipment's requirements to ensure a perfect fit.

Consider the Depth

Depth determines capacity. Shallow pans (20-65mm) are great for roasting or grilling, while a commercial 200mm deep gastronorm pan like this is ideal for soups, sauces, stews, or holding large batches of food.

Look for Reinforced Corners

This is a key feature of high-quality pans. Reinforced corners and  edges prevent the pan from twisting or warping under high heat, which is a common failure point on cheaper models.

Don't Forget the Lids

Lids are usually sold separately but are essential for stacking, storage, and  transport to prevent spills and  keep food fresh. Make sure you get the corresponding lid for your GN size.

A: Absolutely. It's made from high-grade stainless steel specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures of commercial ovens.

A: Yes, it's perfect for both. Its durable construction handles rapid temperature changes without any issues.

A: As it conforms to the EN 631 standard, it should stack well with other pans that also follow this universal sizing.

Q: Does the pan come with a lid?

A: No, the 18/10 stainless steel composition is highly resistant to corrosion and  staining from acidic ingredients, making it ideal for all types of cooking.

The Bourgeat Promise: An Investment in Kitchen Consistency

When you choose a Matfer Bourgeat product, you're not just buying a piece of metal; you're investing in over 200 years of French culinary manufacturing expertise. This stainless steel 1/1 gastronorm pan is more than its specs—it's a commitment to operational excellence. In a professional kitchen, consistency is everything. Pans that warp, bend, or rust don't just need replacing; they slow down service, fit poorly in equipment leading to energy loss, and  can even affect food quality. The Bourgeat pan eliminates these hidden costs. Its unwavering reliability means your chefs have equipment they can trust implicitly, day in, day out. This builds a smoother, faster, and  more professional workflow, which is a tangible asset that contributes directly to your bottom line far more than the initial cost of the pan itself.

Why '18/10 Stainless Steel' Makes All the Difference

Ever wondered what the numbers in '18/10 stainless steel' actually mean? It’s not just technical jargon; it’s the recipe for a better, more durable product. The '18' refers to 18% chromium content, which is the key ingredient that provides incredible resistance to rust and  corrosion. The '10' refers to 10% nickel, which boosts that corrosion resistance even further, adds a lasting shine, and  crucially, prevents the steel from imparting any metallic taste to your food.

Think of it like this: a standard pan is like a basic cotton t-shirt, which does the job but wears out and  stains easily. An 18/10 stainless steel pan is like a high-performance jacket made from technical fabric. It’s specifically engineered to withstand the harsh 'weather' of a commercial kitchen – acidic tomato sauces, high-heat ovens, constant washing, and  daily abuse – and  still come out looking great and  performing perfectly, year after year.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for batch cooking, holding prepped ingredients, and  seamless service line integration.
  • Event & Mobile Caterers: Its robust build makes it perfect for transporting food securely and  serving directly at any venue.
  • Hotel Buffets & Banqueting: The ideal 1/1 GN container 200mm deep for holding large quantities of food on hot or cold servery counters.
  • Delis & Food Retailers: A durable and  hygienic way to store and  display fresh salads, pasta, and  other prepared foods.
