Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Corner Deli in Bristol needed to improve the efficiency of their hot food-to-go counter, particularly with steamed and  boiled items like jacket potatoes and  sausages which often became waterlogged in solid pans.

"We switched to these Modena perforated pans for our bain-marie, and  the difference was instant. Our food stays perfectly cooked and  appetising for much longer because the excess water and  fat just drains away. No more soggy spuds!"

Michael Davies – Owner

The deli reported a significant reduction in food waste and  an increase in prep speed, allowing them to serve customers faster during the busy lunch rush.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before its first outing, give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Always check that the 1/1 GN size is compatible with your oven racking, bain-marie, or hot holding unit.
  • Handle with care when hot – stainless steel is an excellent conductor of heat.
  • Ensure the pan is placed on a level, stable surface to prevent spills and  ensure even cooking or draining.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean promptly after each use to prevent food from drying on, which can be tough to scrub off.
  • The pan is dishwasher safe, but for stubborn bits, a pre-soak in warm water is your best bet.
  • Avoid using steel wool or harsh abrasive scourers, as they can scratch the stainless steel surface.
  • Stack carefully when dry to prevent dents and  scratches, ensuring a long and  happy life in your kitchen.

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.

Solid vs. Perforated

Choose solid pans for wet dishes like curries or sauces. Go for a perforated model, like this one, for steaming, draining, or rinsing to allow liquids to escape.

Get the Depth Right

Deeper pans (like this 150mm one) are great for bulk items. Shallower pans (20mm-65mm) are better for smaller portions or delicate items like fish fillets.

Understanding GN Sizes

GN sizing is a universal standard. A 1/1 pan is the base size (530x325mm). A 1/2 pan is half that size, a 1/3 is a third, and  so on. Check what fits your equipment.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for its durability, hygiene, and  heat resistance. It's perfect for both cooking and  cold storage. Polycarbonate is lighter but only suitable for cold use.

Don't Forget Lids

Need to stack, store, or transport food? Make sure you grab a corresponding 1/1 GN lid. They come in various styles, including some with cut-outs for utensils.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'GN 1/1' actually mean?

A: 'GN' stands for Gastronorm, a European standard for kitchenware sizes. 1/1 is the full, base size, measuring 530 x 325mm, ensuring it fits all standard commercial equipment.

Q: Can I use this pan for baking?

A: Whilst it's oven-safe, the perforations mean it's not suitable for wet batter like cakes. It's designed for jobs where you want liquid to drain away, not be contained.

Q: Is this 1/1 stainless steel gastronorm container freezer-safe?

A: Absolutely. Stainless steel is brilliant for freezing as it's durable and  conducts cold quickly, helping to freeze foods faster.

Q: How do I clean food stuck in the holes?

A: A good soak in hot, soapy water usually does the trick. For anything really stubborn, a firm nylon brush should be able to dislodge it without damaging the steel.

Q: What's the main advantage of a perforated pan?

A: The key advantage is drainage and  steam circulation. It stops food from going soggy and  ensures everything is cooked evenly when steaming.

Q: Can I put this pan directly on a hob?

A: No, gastronorm pans are not designed for direct-heat cooking on a hob. They are intended for use in ovens, bain-maries, and  for storage.

Q: Will it rust over time?

A: It's made from high-quality stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and  corrosion. With proper care and  cleaning, it will remain rust-free.

Q: Is there a lid available for this pan?

A: Yes, standard 1/1 GN lids will fit this pan perfectly. They are usually sold separately and  come in solid, notched, and  sealed varieties.

Why Perforations Make All the Difference

Ever wondered why some kitchens get perfectly fluffy steamed rice and  others get a stodgy mess? The secret is often in the pan. A perforated gastronorm container acts a bit like a giant, heavy-duty colander that’s designed to work inside your professional oven or bain-marie. The small, evenly spaced holes allow two crucial things to happen: steam can circulate freely all around the food for fast, even cooking, and  excess moisture or fat has a clear escape route. This means no more soggy bottoms on your pies or vegetables sitting in a puddle of water. It’s a simple feature that delivers crispier, healthier, and  more appetising results with zero extra effort from your chefs.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Bistros: Ideal for steaming fresh vegetables or fish, ensuring perfect texture and  flavour in every dish.
  • School & Hospital Caterers: Perfect for draining pasta or potatoes in bulk, speeding up large-scale meal preparation.
  • Event Catering Companies: A reliable choice for holding and  transporting prepped food, keeping it fresh and  ready for serving.
  • Hotel Buffets: Excellent for presenting freshly steamed items on the breakfast or dinner line, allowing excess water to drain away.
