You can tell a lot about a kitchen by the state of its gastronorms. The Modena range is all about function over fuss. They’re not flashy, but they are incredibly reliable.

  • Superior Drainage: Keeps fried items crisp and  stops steamed veg from becoming waterlogged.
  • Shallow Design: Not designed for holding sauces, soups, or any significant liquid volume.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Ship Inn, a bustling pub in Whitby, needed to improve their Sunday carvery service. Their solid pans were causing the roasted vegetables and  potatoes to go soft and  sweaty in the hot-hold unit, leading to waste and  unhappy customers.

"These perforated pans have been brilliant. Our roasties stay crispy and  the veg keeps its bite, even during the busiest service. Customers have commented on the improved quality, and  it makes the whole buffet line look so much more appealing."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

By switching to the Modena perforated pans, The Ship Inn has significantly reduced food waste from sogginess and  reports a noticeable improvement in customer satisfaction with their famous carvery.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, give it a good wash with warm, soapy water and  rinse well.
  • Dry it completely to prevent any water spots from forming on the steel.
  • As a standard GN 1/1 pan, it's ready to slot straight into your compatible ovens, fridges, or bain-maries.

Keeping It Going

  • Clean after every use to stop food particles from getting stuck in the perforations.
  • While it's commercial dishwasher safe, handwashing can extend its pristine look.
  • Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scourers that can scratch the stainless steel finish.
  • When stacking, align the corners to engage the anti-jam feature for easy separation later.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure what your kitchen needs? Picking the right gastronorm pan can make a huge difference to your daily routine. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose.

Consider the Depth

Shallow pans (20-65mm) like this one are for single portions, grilling, and  steaming. Deeper pans (100-200mm) are essential for bulk items like sauces, soups, and  stews.

Solid vs. Perforated

A solid pan is your go-to for anything with liquid. A perforated gastronorm container 1/1 is non-negotiable for steaming, draining, or keeping fried food wonderfully crisp.

Know Your Materials

Stainless steel is the king of the kitchen for its durability and  heat resistance. Lighter polycarbonate pans are great for cold storage and  prep, but can't go in the oven.

Lids, Lids, Lids

Don't forget lids! They're usually sold separately and  are vital for safe transport, hygienic storage, and  keeping food at temperature. Check for plain, notched, or silicone seal options.

Double-Check Your Sizing

GN 1/1 (530x325mm) is the most common size, but GN 1/2, 1/3, and  2/3 are also widely used. Always check the size of your appliance to ensure a perfect, efficient fit.

How a Perforated Base Keeps Food Fresher

Ever wondered why food sometimes goes limp and  sad in a holding unit? The culprit is usually trapped moisture. A perforated gn 1/1 pan 20mm is the simple, brilliant solution. Think of it as a colander that's tough enough for a commercial oven. The grid of small holes allows steam, condensation, and  excess oils to drain away freely instead of pooling at the bottom of the pan.

This constant air circulation is key. It means your perfectly steamed asparagus stays vibrant and  firm, your roast potatoes keep their crunchy exterior, and  your fried fish remains beautifully crisp. It’s the secret to maintaining texture and  flavour from the moment food is cooked to the second it's served. For any dish where sogginess is the enemy, a perforated pan is your best friend.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fish & Chip Shops: A must-have for the hot holding cabinet, allowing fat to drain and  keeping fish perfectly crispy.
  • Hotel Buffets: Ideal for displaying breakfast items like bacon and  sausages, ensuring a premium, non-greasy presentation.
  • Event Caterers: Perfect for transporting and  serving steamed vegetables or drained pasta, maintaining quality from kitchen to venue.
  • Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for the prep line for rinsing salads or draining boiled items before service.
