Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Anchor Inn, a busy gastropub in Salcombe, Devon, needed to streamline their Sunday roast service. Their existing solid pans left steamed vegetables sitting in water, affecting texture and  slowing down the plating process.

"We switched to these Modena perforated pans for our veg station and  the difference was instant. The carrots and  greens stay vibrant and  firm, and  there's no more fishing them out of hot water. It’s a small change that has made our service quicker and  the food quality more consistent."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

The pub reported a 15% faster plating time during peak Sunday service, leading to happier chefs and  customers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give the pan a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before its first use to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Check that it fits correctly in your oven racks, bain-marie, or storage units to ensure safe handling.
  • The steel edges can be firm, so always handle with care, especially when washing or removing from a hot oven.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results, clean the pan as soon as possible after use to prevent food from drying onto the perforations.
  • Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scourers, as these can scratch the stainless steel surface. A stiff nylon brush works wonders.
  • Stack pans carefully, ensuring they are fully dry to maintain their shape and  prevent water spots.
  • It is perfectly safe to use in a commercial dishwasher for a thorough, hygienic clean.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Feeling a bit lost in the world of GN pans? Here’s what you need to know to pick the perfect one for your kitchen.

Size Matters

GN sizing is standard across Europe. A '1/1' is the base size (530x325mm). A '1/2' is half that size, and  so on. Match the size to your equipment and  portion needs.

Solid vs. Perforated

Solid pans are for sauces, liquids, and  roasting. A 65mm depth perforated gastronorm tray is for steaming, washing salads, or draining fried items.

Depth Perception

Deeper pans (100mm+) are for holding bulk liquids or large roast joints. Shallower pans like this 65mm one are great for portioned items that need even cooking.

Material World

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's incredibly durable, hygienic, and  doesn't react with foods. It's the best all-around choice.

Lid Logic

Lids are usually sold separately. A solid lid will keep moisture and  heat in, while a notched lid allows space for a serving spoon. Choose based on your application.

More Than Just Holes: Why a Perforated Base is Essential

Ever wonder why a perforated gastronorm pan 1/1 is so crucial in top kitchens? Think of it like a high-performance colander that's built to cook in. The perforations allow hot steam to completely envelop the food from every angle. This means faster, more even cooking without hot spots or soggy bottoms. For draining, it lets liquids escape instantly. Imagine lifting fried chips from the fryer – with this pan, the oil drains away immediately, keeping them perfectly crisp. It’s the simple science of giving water and  steam a path to travel that results in better texture, colour, and  taste in your finished dishes.
