Product Overview

Getting your kitchen prep and  service flowing smoothly starts with the basics, and  this piece of kit is about as fundamental as it gets. This is the Modena 1/1 Perforated Gastronorm Pan, a true workhorse designed for the non-stop environment of a professional UK kitchen. It’s built from tough stainless steel to a universal size, meaning it slots right into your existing setup, from combi ovens and  steamers to bain-maries and  prep counters.

So, who is this for? It’s for any chef, caterer, or kitchen manager who needs to steam, drain, rinse, or hold food efficiently.

The perforations allow steam, air, and  liquids to circulate freely, giving you better cooking results and  a cleaner final product. It’s the go-to tool for improving quality and  speeding up service in one simple step.

Forget flimsy trays that warp or rust. This 1/1 perforated gastronorm pan 100mm is crafted for reliability, with reinforced corners and  an anti-jam design for easy stacking and  separation, even during the busiest shifts. It’s a simple, effective, and  indispensable tool that forms the backbone of any organised, high-output catering operation. Ready to make your workflow that little bit slicker?

You can't run a professional kitchen without a solid collection of GN pans, and  a perforated version is non-negotiable for certain jobs. This Modena pan is a prime example of doing the simple things right. It’s sturdy, fits standard equipment flawlessly, and  the drainage is excellent.

  • Pros: The perforations are sized just right for steaming veg without losing smaller items.
  • Cons: Cleaning can be fiddly if you’ve baked on cheese or starchy foods.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Garden Café in Bristol needed to speed up its Sunday lunch service, as soggy, over-steamed vegetables were causing a bottleneck at the carvery station. They replaced their solid pans in the combi-steamer with these Modena perforated GN containers.

“It sounds simple, but switching to perforated pans has completely streamlined our veg station. Everything is steamed perfectly, drains instantly, and  is ready to serve. The veg is brighter, tastes better, and  our chefs can plate up much faster.”

David Thompson – Head Chef

The change resulted in a consistent 25% reduction in plating time for their roast dinners, leading to happier customers and  a less frantic kitchen team.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Check that the GN 1/1 dimensions are compatible with your oven, bain-marie, or racking system.
  • Ensure the pan is fully dry before stacking to make use of the anti-jam feature effectively.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, rinse or soak the pan immediately after use to prevent food from baking on.
  • Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scourers, as they can scratch the stainless steel surface.
  • Although dishwasher safe, occasional hand washing with a non-scratch pad will keep it looking its best.
  • Periodically check the corners and  edges for any dings or dents from heavy use.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure which GN pan is the right fit for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Check the Size

GN sizing is universal, but make sure you're buying the right fraction (e.g., 1/1, 1/2, 1/3) to fit your specific equipment and  portion needs.

Consider the Depth

Pans come in depths from 20mm to 200mm. Deeper pans like this 100mm one are great for bulk items, while shallower pans are better for display or quick-cooking.

Perforated vs. Solid

Choose perforated pans for steaming, draining, and  air circulation. Opt for solid pans when holding sauces, gravies, or roasting.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's durable, hygienic, and  non-reactive. It's the most reliable choice for almost any application.

Don't Forget Lids

If you need to cover food for transport, storage, or holding, make sure you have the corresponding GN-sized lids, which are available separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does GN 1/1 actually mean?

A: It refers to the standard 'Gastronorm' sizing system used across the catering industry. A GN 1/1 pan has base dimensions of 530 x 325mm, making it a 'full-size' pan.

Q: Can I use this pan in a hot oven?

A: Absolutely. It's made from stainless steel and  is perfect for use in combi ovens for steaming or fan ovens where air circulation is needed.

Q: Is this pan freezer-safe?

A: Yes, you can use this pan to store food in commercial freezers without any issue.

Q: What are the main uses for a perforated pan?

A: It's primarily used for steaming vegetables, fish, and  pasta, draining washed salads or produce, and  holding fried foods to allow oil to drip away.

Q: How do I prevent food from sticking to the perforations?

A: For very sticky items, a light spray with oil can help. Soaking the pan in hot, soapy water immediately after use is the best way to ensure easy cleaning.

Q: Will it rust over time?

A: The high-quality stainless steel construction is designed to be highly resistant to rust and  corrosion in a typical kitchen environment.

Q: What is an 'anti-jam' feature?

A: It’s a small ridge or indentation around the top edge of the pan that prevents a vacuum from forming when you stack them, so they don't get stuck together.

Q: Can I use this for holding cold food?

A: Yes, it's ideal for holding washed salad, rinsed fruit, or other chilled items in a prep counter, as it allows excess water to drain away.

Why Perforations Are Your Secret Weapon for Better Food

Ever wonder why a gastronorm 1/1 perforated steam pan is so crucial? It’s all about controlling moisture. When you steam vegetables or fish in a solid pan, the food sits in a puddle of condensed water (hydrolisation), making it soggy and  leaching out flavour and  nutrients. The perforations in this pan change everything.

Think of it like giving your food its own personal spa treatment. Hot, flavour-infusing steam circulates freely all around the food, cooking it evenly and  efficiently. At the same time, any excess water or unwanted fat drips straight through the holes, leaving you with a product that's perfectly cooked, vibrant, and  firm—not waterlogged. It’s the difference between a bright, crisp floret of broccoli and  a sad, mushy one.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Contract Caterers: Perfect for steaming large batches of vegetables or pasta for events and  school canteens.
  • Fish & Chip Shops: Ideal for holding and  draining fried fish, chips, and  sausages under heat lamps.
  • Hotel Kitchens: A must-have for the breakfast buffet to hold items like bacon or sausages, letting fat drain away.
  • Farm Shops & Delis: Great for rinsing fresh produce or holding cooked meats in chilled display counters.
