  • Top-notch Drainage: The perforations are sized just right for steaming veg without losing smaller items.
  • Watch the Edges: Like most metal pans, the edges can be sharp, so handle with care.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Brasserie in Chester needed a more efficient way to prep their steamed greens for their popular Sunday roast service. Their old method was clunky and  time-consuming, leading to inconsistencies.

"We swapped to these Modena perforated pans and  the difference was immediate. They fit our combi ovens perfectly, and  we can steam large batches of veg at once, with all the water draining away cleanly. It’s simplified our workflow massively."

Robert Davies – Head Chef

This simple switch has streamlined their vegetable prep, cutting down the process time by 20% during peak service.

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.
  • Ensure the pan is completely dry before its first use, especially if using for storage.
  • It's designed to fit standard GN 1/2 racks and  appliances – no special assembly needed.

Keeping It Going

  • This pan is fully dishwasher safe for easy and  hygienic cleaning.
  • For stubborn food residue, soak in warm water before cleaning. Avoid using abrasive scourers which can scratch the surface.
  • Stack neatly with other GN pans when dry to save space and  prevent damage.
  • Regularly check for any dents or warping, although the reinforced design makes this unlikely.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Gastronorm Pan

Not sure what fits best for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to help you pick the perfect gastronorm container.

Check Your Sizing

GN sizing is universal. A GN 1/1 is 530x325mm. This GN 1/2 is half that size (325x265mm), so two will fit perfectly in a GN 1/1 slot. Always measure your appliance space first!

Solid vs. Perforated

Choose solid pans for holding liquids like soups and  sauces. Go for a perforated pan, like this one, for steaming, draining, or allowing air to circulate around food in an oven.

Pick the Right Depth

Pans come in depths from 20mm to 200mm. A deep 200mm pan is great for bulk items, while shallower pans are better for smaller portions or display.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the industry standard for a reason: it's durable, non-porous, and  easy to sanitise. It won't react with food and  can handle high heat and  freezing temperatures.

Don't Forget Lids

Most gastronorm pans have corresponding lids, which are sold separately. These are essential for storage, transport, and  keeping food hot. Make sure you get the correct GN size!

Why Perforations Make All the Difference

Ever wondered what makes a 200mm deep perforated gastronorm tray so useful? It's all about controlled drainage and  airflow. Think of it as a heavy-duty, industrial-grade colander that's shaped to fit perfectly in your professional equipment. When you're steaming fish or vegetables, the steam can circulate freely around the food, cooking it evenly, while the perforations let hot water and  condensation drain away immediately. This prevents your food from becoming soggy or boiled, giving you a much better texture and  taste. It’s the secret to perfectly steamed broccoli, every single time.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: For steaming fresh vegetables or fish in combi ovens, ensuring perfect, consistent results for every service.
  • Event Caterers: An essential for transporting and  serving drained salads, washed fruit, or steamed items at functions.
  • Hotel Kitchens: Perfect for holding items in a buffet line bain-marie, keeping food hot without it sitting in water.
  • Fish & Chip Shops: Ideal for draining freshly blanched chips before the final fry, helping to achieve a crispier finish.
